Finding Magazines

[six6six]

What i want to do is write a script to make it so a soldier acts as an ammo bearer, and i need a way of telling what ammo another soldier

[Gcfungus]

Can you please make it exactly clear what you want, try to give as many details as you can.

[six6six]

[Gcfungus]

Thanks, but can i just ask, what order in the array do they come?

[schuler]

_mags
"M16"
edit this is a good question 
 More info would be better, please, cut?!?!?, in play gaming?1?!?!?
 You can place an ammo box near the ammo bearer and the Ap [player] can tell him want ammo to take or reload. Make it an U.S. ammo box from you editor, they will get what they need. place a soldier near the ammo box,  It would look like the ammo bearer is giving it to the soldiers
And more is i.e. ,,,     ammo box 
AddWeaponCargo
AddMagazineCargo

If it is in a cutsence a playMove would look nice!

What i want to know, is what order the different types of magazine are arranged in when i use the magazine command.
eg. [m16,m16,m16,m16,handgrenade,handgrenade,law,law]
or [handgrenade,handgrenade,m16,m16,m16,m16,law,law]
etc.

[Gcfungus]

I tried a test and it gave me all the types from the comref. Ie:

Ak47, M16, MM1mag, g36amag ect.

It gives you it without the "s. However be careful, as if you check one without a mag in that slot (either if it is empty or if something takes up 2 slots then u will not have 10 mag slots) it will give you an odd result, such as:

Code: [Select]

scalar bool array string 0xfcffffefI'm not sure of the order, but i would presume it would be the same as on the gear screen.

Hope this helps.

One last question. How do i find what members are in a group?

[Gcfungus]

Try:

Code: [Select]

_group = group player
_max = count _group
_counter = 1
_selecter = 0
#loop
_subject = _group select _selecter

<do what you want here>
_subject command whatever

_counter = _counter + 1
?(_counter > _max): exit
goto "loop"

This is untested, but should work.

[six6six]

Try:

Code: [Select]

_group = group player
_max = count _group
_counter = 1
_selecter = 0
#loop
_subject = _group select _selecter

<do what you want here>
_subject command whatever

_counter = _counter + 1
?(_counter > _max): exit
goto "loop"


This is untested, but should work.

Im sorry to dig this up, but this doesnt work. It just gives me the error
'_subject = _group select _selecter

• ': error select:type number, expected array", and i have no idea how to solve it.

[Garcia]

Code: [Select]

_group = group player
_max = count _group
_counter = 0

#loop
_subject = (units _group) select _counter

<do what you want here>
_subject command whatever

_counter = _counter + 1
?(_counter >= _max): exit
goto "loop"

First of all, you need (units _group). "Units groupName" creates an array with the soldiers within the group. Also, no point in using the _selecter variable that way, because it didn't change during the looping. It would stay at 0, and that would make it select the first element in the array all the time (which means it would select the same unit over and over again).

[six6six]

Code: [Select]

'_max = count _group[#]'; Error count: type group, expected array
is what im getting now.

Ive changed the defines to this:

_group = _this select 2
_max = count _group
_counter = 0
as ive intergrated it with my script.
please help.

Fixed it, it should be

Code: [Select]

_max = count units _groupnot

Code: [Select]

_max = count _group

[Garcia]

Exactly

[six6six]

How can I find out if a unit has no ammo via script?

[Mr.Peanut]

Read the OFP ComRef start to finish over and over again, even if you do not understand it all.
ammo
forEach
magazines

Code: [Select]

_magsleft = 0
{_magsleft = _magsleft + (_myUnit ammo _x)} forEach magazines _myUnitWill have to test how this behaves when unit is in vehicle.
