Adding items to a units backpack

[OrnateCocoapuff 10]

Hello,

So I am trying to add a weapon and some ammunition to a unit's backpack, and I'm not sure what the script for that would be. Any help is appreciated,

Thanks.

this addBackpack "B_AssaultPack_blk"; 
(unitBackpack this) addWeaponCargoGlobal ["arifle_TRG21_MRCO_F", 1]; 
(unitBackpack this) addMagazineCargoGlobal ["30Rnd_556x45_Stanag", 4];

addweaponcargoglobal: Type string, expected array?

[kylania 567]

Yup, you need to feed it an array like I did, not just the weapon name. If you want to add a single rifle it's:

(unitBackpack this) addWeaponCargoGlobal [color="#FF0000"][[/color]"arifle_TRG21_MRCO_F"[color="#FF0000"], 1][/color];

Hi kylania

work fine for me in the init but I have a problem with my SQF respawn, the Backpack is empty when respawn. Can you help me please.

thanks.

I have this in the init:

null = [this] execVM "loadout1.sqf";

this addeventhandler ["respawn","_this execVM 'loadout1.sqf'"];

and this is the sqf:

//_loadout1.sqf

waitUntil {!isNull player};

_unit = _this select 0;

//_Remove Items

removeallassigneditems _unit;

removeallcontainers _unit;

removeallweapons _unit;

//_Gear

_unit addBackPack "B_Kitbag_mcamo"; (unitBackpack this) addMagazineCargoGlobal ["AV_200Rnd_556x45", 4]; (unitBackpack this) additemCargoGlobal ["optic_MRCO", 1]; (unitBackpack this) addWeaponCargoGlobal ["av_m249_mrco", 1];

_unit addUniform "AV_CombatUniform1_OCP";

_unit addvest "AV_PlateCarrier2_OCP";

_unit addheadgear "H_Booniehat_mcam";

_unit addGoggles "shemagh_neckD";

//_Items

_unit addweapon "itemcompass";

_unit addweapon "itemmap";

_unit addweapon "itemwatch";

//_Weapons

_unit addweapon "RHARD_M4DDRPD_F";

_unit addweapon "hgun_P07_snds_F";

_unit addPrimaryWeaponItem "Muzzle_MK18D_L";

_unit addPrimaryWeaponItem "optic_Arco";

_unit addPrimaryWeaponItem "PEQ15_A3_Top";

_unit addmagazines ["30Rnd_556x45_Stanag", 10];

_unit addmagazines ["16Rnd_9x21_Mag", 3];

Change (unitBackpack this) to (unitBackpack _unit)

You can also remove that last if true exit with line. That does nothing in SQF.

hello,

I need to add backpack like this one "O_UAV_01_backpack_F"  but to be Empty! I don't need UAV functionality just a model of that bag with loadable space for other thing like every other backpack. Is it possible ? Thank you 

[M1ke_SK 230]

_unit addItemToBackpack "ToolKit";

wiki: addItemToBackpack

[Nemanjic 71]

Thank you M1ke but maybe i am not good  explain what i want. I need bag to look like (just look like) to UAVbag ( "O_UAV_01_backpack_F" ) but without functionality of that. Just need to be empty bag with loadable space so i can put other things like in every other backpack via command addItemToBackpack. Sorry on my English and thank you sir.

 

I tried to search in classnames to find that bag by picture and hope to add it empty model but can't find.. Also tried to find by name but only i can find with UAV functionality

Why mess with all the simple code in the unit init just go into the new Editor what you want the unit to have very simple no code point to click. 

[Nemanjic 71]

I don't understand. It can't be done in editor/arsenal or what else. It has to be scripted some way 

[Belbo 461]

No, you have to build an addon that creates a new object with the model and texture of the uav backpack. There's no way to have a new backpack in the game by scripting.

[Nemanjic 71]

So i can't kick out UAV  functionality and have clean empty bag? Okay, thank you for answer guys, so what am I to do? Ask someone to make addon? At least, maybe this thread can help someone and save his time.

Use a different backpack.

Anyone of the "backpacks" shown on this page, Arma 3 Items list  (excluding the UAV, Mortar & Static machine guns)

 

One of the "Carryall" class should big enough for you.

[Nemanjic 71]

Yes yes, i already using carryall and bergain but model of UAVbag is just perfect what i need for spec units...  ..model size, colour camuflage etc.. 

Btw, i use this script simple paraDrop and thank you for it :D
