You should drag bigger objects.

You can see, it works together with igiLoad ;-) That the goal.

Small Objects will be attached on the back. Its possible to edit every position of all small carryable objects.

Install:

1)

Place a object on the map, best way is to place a object that supports igiLoad:

By example: Box_NATO_Ammo_F

Objectname: Chest1

2)

Write this in the init of the object:

clearMagazineCargo this;

Take1 = Chest1 addAction ["Drag","Objects\Attach_big.sqf",[],1,true,true,"","_this distance _target < 2"];

You see, we will performe a addaction on this object with the Text "Drag". Its also possible to put a Icon instead of the Text:

"<img image='Take.jpg' size='4.8' shadow=1 />"

3) create a folder "Objects" in you missionfolder.

4) Now we need a sqf file, called "Attach_big.sqf"

Attach_big.sqf:

player playAction "grabDrag";

Sleep (0.01);

waitUntil { ((AnimationState player) == "AmovPercMstpSlowWrflDnon_AcinPknlMwlkSlowWrflDb_2") || ((AnimationState player) == "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_AcinPknlMwlkSnonWnonDb_2")};

Chest1 attachTo [player, [0,1.0,0.3]];

player playMove "AcinPknlMwlkSrasWrflDb";

obj1attached=true;

PublicVariable "obj1attached";

Drop1 = player addAction ["<t color=""#930909"">" +"Drop</t>","Objects\Detach_big.sqf",[],1,true,true,"","obj1attached"];

while {obj1attached} do {

[] spawn {

{Player removeaction Take1} forEach allUnits;

};

};

5)

"Detach_big.sqf":

[] spawn {

{Player removeaction Drop1} forEach allUnits;

};

detach Chest1;

Chest1 setpos [getpos Chest1 select 0,getpos Chest1 select 1,0];

sleep 0.5;

obj1detached2=true;

PublicVariable "obj1detached2";

sleep 0.5;

player playMoveNow "AmovPknlMstpSrasWrflDnon";

---------------------------------------

---------------------------------------

---------------------------------------

Attach_small.sqf:

player playAction "PutDown";

Sleep (0.01);

waitUntil { ((AnimationState player) == "AinvPercMstpSrasWrflDnon_Putdown_AmovPercMstpSrasWrflDnon")};

RoadCone1 attachTo [player, [-0.15,-0.15,0.15],"Pelvis"];

RoadCone1 setVectorDirAndUp [[0.5,0.5,0],[-0.5,0.5,0]];

obj1attached=true;

PublicVariable "obj1attached";

Drop2 = player addAction ["<t color=""#930909"">" +"Ablegen</t>","Objects\Detach_small.sqf",[],1,true,true,"","obj1attached"];

while {obj1attached} do {

[] spawn {

{Player removeaction Take2} forEach allUnits;

};

};

Detach_small.sqf

[] spawn {

{Player removeaction Drop2} forEach allUnits;

};

player playMove "AinvPercMstpSrasWrflDnon_Putdown_AmovPercMstpSrasWrflDnon";

detach RoadCone1;

RoadCone1 setpos (player modelToWorld [0,1,0]);

sleep 0.5;

obj1detached=true;

PublicVariable "obj1detached";

sleep 0.5;

Okay, now a question.

I'am busy and someone with the possibility of scripting could do something very good.

We need to implement the whole script in one init.sqf.

We need to activate the classnames with addaction.

Othervise you see:

You need to create 2 sqf file for one object. If you try to do this for 10 Objects, we need 20 sqf files.

We need a better way to do this.

If you like this idea, you will find maybe good information on this site:

TSS Forum

Its in german, i know ;-)

that is a really cool idea have to test it out.

is that working with the lifter addon and igi load together ?

Yes it does. No problems.

Only viewing on my phone. Not the best layout.

You will need to have an array of the objects that can be carried and the in conjunction with cursortarget ands in the addaction condition check if cursortarget in array

Will have a good look later and see what I can think of

Thank you for helping.

As I said, i'am busy at the moment, so i will try to do something for this script in the next weeks.

But if someone will find a better way, it will help the community for every logistic mission. ;-)

And also it could help igiLoad for just putting both Script together.

Ok, updatet post 1 + downloadlink and changelog 0.2

New version frontpaged on the Armaholic homepage.

Ok, I am not a great scripter but here is an idea to lose all of the extra scripts... addAction is already passing all of the info you need under the hood. Cant you just do this for your drag and drops scripts? Please note that I am writing this without testing it. You can rinse and repeat for the addSmall.sqf and detachSmall.sqf scripts. To make it even more automatted, all you need to do is have a script at launch that loops through all objects and compares there class name against a list, if true, then add the addaction to it.

new attachBig.sqf

_crate = _this select 0;  //  addaction is passing you the target of the action
_addId = _this select 2; //  addaction is passing you its own ID.

player playAction "grabDrag";
Sleep (0.01);
waitUntil { ((AnimationState player) == "AmovPercMstpSlowWrflDnon_AcinPknlMwlkSlowWrflDb_2 ") || ((AnimationState player) == "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_AcinPknlMwlkSnonWnonDb_2 ")};
_crate attachTo [player, [0,1.0,0.3]];
player playMove "AcinPknlMwlkSrasWrflDb";

obj1attached=true;
PublicVariable "obj1attached";

Drop1 = player addAction ["<t color=""#930909"">" +"Drop</t>","Objects\Detach_big.sqf",[],1,true,true,"","obj1attached"];

while {obj1attached} do {
[] spawn {
{Player removeaction _addId} forEach allUnits;
};
};

new detachBig.sqf

_crate = _this select 0;  //  addaction is passing you the target of the action
_dropId = _this select 2; //  addaction is passing you its own ID.

[] spawn {
{Player removeaction _dropId} forEach allUnits;
};
detach _crate;
_crate setpos [getpos _crate select 0,getpos _crate select 1,0];

sleep 0.5;

obj1detached2=true;
PublicVariable "obj1detached2";

sleep 0.5;

player playMoveNow "AmovPknlMstpSrasWrflDnon";

ps - if there is something obvious I am missing, please be gentle...

Ok i know what you mean and will search for a way but this is not working like this.

But thanks for the way. Maybe we will find a solution.

The other idea, with the list of classnames is also interesting.

What about getting this to work when objects are spawned ingame? Example, in BECTI supply boxes and vehicle ammo crates are all purchased and spawned in by the server. How would this work with that?

Thanks Cigar0, this is very useful and adds realism. I have my own scripts for putting barrels on the back of a truck (without your cool animations), and found that I need to restrict the cargo positions, otherwise units will board the truck and then overlap/clip with attached objects. I hardcoded a solution for my particular case.

I don't know if you care to take this on, but calculating and locking/unlocking cargo positions occupied by attached objects would be awesome. No worries if you don't--mission makers would have to do this on their own if they want to prevent cargo clipping.

Another thing to note is there is a game limitation where objects attached to the back of a truck look perfect while player not in truck. But if player boards truck, the attached objects appear to be outside of the truck. It looks terrible in that case. I concluded that I would always prevent the player from getting in a cargo position of a truck that has attached objects.

This is only possible if i try to connect the classnames with the drag & drop script.

I'am busy, so there is no new version, but in the future i will try for sure.
