addWeaponPool???

[sgtGunneryHighway]

how that command must be use?
it is in the endmission trigger or in description file or init or what???
if someone knows please post:help:

[Sui]

From what I've heard (I've never tried this myself) it's used in a script called exit.sqs which is automatically executed at the end of any mission.

The Official Comref lists the syntax as something like:

addWeaponPool ["m16",2]

Which adds 2 m16's to your weapon pool. Just note this is only useful in a campaign, and has no use as far as single missions go.

yeah tnx  
but i wanna know one more thing
in the mission how do you know what gunz the player gonna take with him and how much magazine at the end of the mission? :noo:

[Messiah]

so - how, like in resistance, does that command check what weapons the player had at the end of the mission (the one he has in his hands)

i need this cos i have  3 part mission and i want to only let the player have the weapons he chose at the start / has picked up in the mission.

cheers.

Are you looking for this one?

Code: [Select]

fillWeaponsFromPool person
Operand types:
    person: Object
Compatibility:
    Version 1.75 required.
Type of returned value:
    None
Description:
    Add magazines from campaign pool to person (depending on weapons person have).

Example:
    fillWeaponsFromPool victor


  huh

Just seen, that you are asking for the other way.
hmm couldn't find that inside the official comref after
scrolling thru twice.
I'll have a look into Resistance campaign, when i'm back
home from work.

OK, after examining ofp_resistance campaign (mission 03)
i found following inside exit.sqs (this script will be executed
automatically when the mission is finished).

Code: [Select]

; Player's weapons to weapon pool

_i = 0;

#LPWeap

addWeaponPool [((weapons aP) select _i), 1];
_i = _i + 1;
? _i < (count weapons aP) : goto "LPWeap"

_i = 0;

#LPMag

addMagazinePool [((magazines aP) select _i), 1];
_i = _i + 1;
? _i < (count magazines aP) : goto "LPMag"

~S~ CD

[Messiah]

so - the first one is what you write in the init.sqs of the mission and the second one is what you write in the exit.sqs of a mission...

yeah?

BIS is doing it this way, so i think we can say: YEAH  ;D

I haven't tried out that yet, but i think if you save the status
of your units at the end of a mission, and you load it up in init.sqs of the next mission, then the fillweaponsfrompool
recognizes automatically, what to give whom.

This is a part of an init.sqs from the resistance campaign:

Code: [Select]

#Rest

_gr = [s_1, s_2, s_3, s_4, s_5, s_6, s_7, s_8, s_9, s_10];
_h = count _gr;
_u = GLB_03b_NUMBER;
_v = 0;

#LOOP2
? _v >= _u : goto "Out";
xx = (_gr select _v) loadStatus format ["03bSold%1", (_v)];
fillWeaponsFromPool (_gr select _v)
_JN = _JN + [(_gr select _v)];
(_gr select _v) setskill ((skill (_gr select _v)) + 0.2)
_v = _v+1;
goto "LOOP2"
~S~ CD

[david-p]

u just gotta love those guys..

[Messiah]

hmmm - now that confuses me - i see how it works but could you please post the section that follows:

#out

so i can see how BIS end the init.sqs.

cheers.

[Chris Death]

OK, i'll post the whole init.sqs for ya, when i'm back home
from work.

Just gimmie 6 more hours and it'll be there  

Also i will post the whole exit.sqs from the previous mission of
this init.sqs.

:edit

btw - i think it's more the part before this loop instead of
the #out part. The

Code: [Select]

goto "out" is just there
to exit this loop. Anyway i'll post that all - later then.

~S~ CD

[Messiah]

thats what i thought - i think the "out" just sends the script to:

Code: [Select]

#out

and thats it - as soon as it gets to the end it exits - just want to check that BIS didnt add anything else important.

cheers.

[Chris Death]

OK, here's the whole exit.sqs from mission03a of resistance

:note - i didn't check, if mission03 is really followed by mission04, but i think this way you can get a better

added that to my init.sqs - made ofp crash...

can some1 give me a working example (without all the BIS extras that scare me) that just adds the weapons from pool

cheers.

Messiah,

off course i didn't post all the other files in here (description.ext, etc.) - lol tiger or wolf wouldn't have been
very apreciated about that  ;D

I'd suggest you to depbo the resistance campaign, and
examine it for yourself. This way, you will get the best
overview, instead of me posting all these files.

I think, resistance campaign is a working example (hey it's
made by BIS, and they should know what to do).  

I still haven't used the weapon pool by myself, so i can't really
post you all the required informations here.
