warbirdguy1, look: // how-to add number of magazines to player vest: vestContainer player addMagazineCargo ["HandGrenade", 100]; // how-to load magazine directly to player primary weapon: player addPrimaryWeaponItem "30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag"; // replace with your weapon compatible magazine type

Sample mission: link

You can define functions in script files: // myfile.sqf FunctionABC = { systemChat "Hello from function ABC"; // put other commands here }; FunctionDEF = { systemChat "Hello from function DEF"; // put other commands here }; Before use functions script must be compiled: // at this point our functions is not initialized call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "myfile.sqf"; // at this point our functions initialized if script file contains no erros Special file init.sqf - this file auto-compiled and executed by game immediately after mission starts: // init.sqf // it is very useful to compile all code from init.sqf call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "myfile.sqf"; call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "myanotherfile.sqf"; call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "myfunctions.sqf"; call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "somethingelse.sqf"; // at this point all scrpts compiled and we can call functions defined in scripts Usage: // when functions defined we can call it from anywhere until missions ends: call FunctionABC; // Result: "Hello from function ABC"; call FunctionDEF; // Result: "Hello from function DEF"; Passing arguments to functions: X = { systemChat str _this; // _this variable always references argument(s) passed to function }; "Hello" call X; // Result (in chat): Hello [1, "black", false] call X; // Result (in chat): [1, "black", false] Accessing individual arguments: ABC = { params ["_a", "_b", "_xyz"]; // here we can operate with _a, _b, _xyz variables }; [1, "white", true] call ABC; // in this call inside ABC variable _a = 1, _b = "white", _xyz = true Functions can return results: ByeFunc = {"Bye"}; // function always return same string private _result = call ByeFunc; // Result: _result = "Bye"; SummFunc = { // function return summ of two arguments params ["_a", "_b"]; _a + _b; }; private _summ = [10, 5] call SummFunc; // Result: _summ = 15;

scottdog62, this variable exists and points to the object only in object initialization field. In all other cases it has no value and meaning. Clear? // object initialization field this execVM "script.sqf" // OK, this variable references object // not in object initialization field this execVM "script.sqf" // ERROR, this variable references NOTHING terrorist execVM "killeveryone.sqf" // OK, terrorist variable references concrete unit policesquad execVM "eliminateterrorist.sqf" // OK, policesquad variable references concrete group

Description says: Returns: ARRAY of ARRAYs - all virtual items within the object's space in format [<items>,<weapons>,<magazines>,<backpacks>] [player, ["B_AssaultPack_mcamo_Ammo"], false, true] call BIS_fnc_addVirtualBackpackCargo; //Result: ["B_AssaultPack_mcamo_Ammo"] //Expected: [[], [], [], ["B_AssaultPack_mcamo_Ammo"]] Something went wrong?

This function deletes action as well [player, "B_AssaultPack_mcamo_Ammo", false, true] call BIS_fnc_addVirtualBackpackCargo; [player, "B_AssaultPack_mcamo_Ammo", false] call BIS_fnc_removeVirtualBackpackCargo;

You do not necessarily have to take out the spaces, you can go the other way: // init.sqf RemoveActionByName = { params ["_object", "_name"]; {if (_object actionParams _x select 0 == _name) exitWith {_object removeAction _x}} forEach actionIDs _object; }; // greeting.sqf Guard1 addAction ["What do you do here", "Dialog\Guard1\JobDisc.sqf","((_target distance _this) <2"]; // JobDisc.sqf [Guard1, "What do you do here"] call RemoveActionByName; hint "I guard the entrance to Camp Bravo"; Guard1 addaction ["Anything happen lately?", "Dialog\Guard1\EnemyLoitering.sqf"];

In that case, your question might sound like this: how do I remove Arsenal action added by BIS_fnc_addVirtualBackpackCargo function. It is important, because the right question contains half the answer. RemoveArsenalActionFromGivenObject = { {if (_this actionParams _x select 0 == "Arsenal") exitWith {_this removeAction _x}} forEach actionIDs _this; }; // Test: [player, "B_AssaultPack_mcamo_Ammo", false, true] call BIS_fnc_addVirtualBackpackCargo; player call RemoveArsenalActionFromGivenObject;

Apparently now is the right time to ask how you open your arsenal? Or maybe we should guess it?

WhatDoYouDoHere = Guard1 addAction ["What do you do here", "Dialog\Guard1\JobDisc.sqf","((_target distance _this) <2"]; Guard1 removeaction WhatDoYouDoHere; AnythingHappenLately = Guard1 addaction ["Anything happen lately?", "Dialog\Guard1\EnemyLoitering.sqf"]; Guard1 removeaction AnythingHappenLately;

Try to enable console in description.ext (enableDebugConsole = 2) and manipulate/trace game state during mission progress.

Just tested - AI shooting OK, as expected. Next time share your mission as not binarized/pboed archive please.

Can you share your mission?

AIHQ?

Download and start demo mission In game control settings define key for command UseAction1 During mission, switch between switchable units and press key binded to UseAction1 - for each unit class will be executed corresponding script defined in ScriptsDictionary array

celludriel, do you know about: uniformContainer player addmagazineCargo ["HandGrenade", 2000]

Sounds like: I'm too lazy to walk on my own feet, so I choose to crutches and a wheelchair. Sorry XD

// init.sqf waitUntil {time > 0}; ScriptsDictionary = [ ["O_Soldier_SL_F", "scripts\VA\squadLeaderArs.sqf"], ["O_Soldier_F", "scripts\VA\soldierArs.sqf"], ["O_Soldier_LAT_F", "scripts\VA\soldierLATArs.sqf"]]; ExecuteScriptBasedOnUnitType = { {if (_x select 0 == _this) exitWith {_x select 1}} forEach ScriptsDictionary call {execVM _this}; }; PollUserAction = { while {true} do { waitUntil {inputAction _this > 0}; typeOf player call ExecuteScriptBasedOnUnitType; waitUntil {inputAction _this == 0}; } }; "User1" call PollUserAction; Demo mission: link (define key for UserAction1, switch between units and press this key to activate corresponding scripts)

Yes and yes. Result also can be ["", etc... ] when unit outside of any marker area.

. Simple variant: // in init.sqf waitUntil {time > 0}; MarkerArea = { switch (markerShape _this) do { case "RECTANGLE": {getMarkerSize _this params ["_msw", "_msh"]; _msw * _msh}; case "ELLIPSE": {getMarkerSize _this params ["_msw", "_msh"]; _msw * _msh * 0.25 * pi}; default {0} } }; allMapMarkersOrderedByArea = [allMapMarkers,[],{_x call MarkerArea},"ASCEND"] call BIS_fnc_sortBy; // Somewhere in scripts (replace player with actual unit) private _marker = {if (player inArea _x) exitWith {_x}; ""} forEach allMapMarkersOrderedByArea; Wrapped variant: // add this to init.sqf SmallestMarkerUnitIsIn = { {if (_this inArea _x) exitWith {_x}; ""} forEach allMapMarkersOrderedByArea}; // Somewhere in scripts (replace player with actual unit) private _marker = player call SmallestMarkerUnitIsIn; * if unit is not in any marker area, an empty string is returned

Anyway, we need for topic starter to clarify :)
