list of vehicles cargo amounts etc

[eggbeast]

Hi

This sticky has some useful info on classnames
http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=73241&page=2
This wiki has all the classnames too
http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA_2:_CfgVehicles
This tool has pics and classnames of vehicles
http://www.armatechsquad.com/ArmA2Class/vehicles/Wheeled/

but I can't find out how many cargo slots there are in each vehicle without opening the pbo's at present - does anyone have a link for such a resource? If so Wolle can you add it to the sticky please!!:bounce3:

e.g. I'm writing a side mission which establishes a randomised convoy and I need to pair up arrays of vehicles that have the same number of cargo slots in them to stop the script from failing/ or all theteam from embarking, e.g.

Running this script the troops spawn and the uaz and open ural are populated but the second truck does not spawn and i get an error

Error: 0 elements provided expected 3

I have many more sidemissions like this so woul like to know how for each vehicle:
Driver
Gunner or
Commander
Cargo 0
Cargo 1 etc

Andfor some vehicles they have
-Turret 0
-Turret 1
etc instead of Gunner

so I guess T90 has
Driver, Gunner, Commander

and UralOpen_INS has
Driver, Cargo0,Cargo1, etc up to what? Cargo8 maybe?

and for Mi17s theyre all different, e.g.
_heli1 = createVehicle ["Mi17_rockets_RU", _kpos, [], 0, "FLY"];Sleep BIS_EVO_GlobalSleep;

(units _pilot select 4) moveInDriver _heli1;
(units _pilot select 5) moveInTurret[_heli1,[0]];
(units _pilot select 6) moveInTurret[_heli1,[1]];
(units _pilot select 7) moveInTurret[_heli1,[2]];

e.g. at the moment I'm thinking of putting in a GAZ_Vodnik_MedEvac but i don't know how many cargo slots it has without either trial and error or opening the pbo, which is laborious

so is there a resource? if not, should we make one?

To get cargo seats before a vehicle is created:


_veh; //Vehicle object
_seats = getNumber (configFile >> "cfgVehicles" >> typeof _veh >> "transportSoldier");

This will only include cargo seats, no operational seats (driver, gunner, commander).

To determine on a existing vehicle (already spawned) what operational crew is needed, the scripting command emptyPositions (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/emptyPositions) might come in handy.

Another question. In your script in the first createvehicle line you refer to variable _pos but i can't see _pos being defined before.

[eggbeast]

THANKS! you're right - although the other positions were defined the position _pos4 wasnt defined and i changed the truck to a kamaz as this worked in other scripts. this fixed the script in question

but still I think a table of cargo spaces etc might be useful

meanwhile i'll use your suggestions so BIG THANKS dude

[[FRL]Myke]

Every list, table or tutorial on the web do exist because one took the time and challenge to explore and investigate a specific problem and then write it down what they found out.....soooo, while you're on it...do you accept the challenge? ;)

[cestcomi]

Add this to your list:

Classnames: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=73241&highlight=RU_Soldier

Markers with pictures: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/cfgMarkers

[eggbeast]

@<hidden> - the classnames are linked above already but the markers list is awesome cheers

@<hidden>: I'm flat out overhauling Evolution atm to make it work on a solid basis (almost no script faults etc) before going on to modding it ACE/ UK/ RED etc so i won't be doing a cargo table, but someone must have one lol

thanks guys!

And to get the turrets you can use my script:

[eggbeast]

wow great stuff - so all weneed now is someone to run this and also explore the pbos for the cargo slots and make us a fine lookin table!
