Automatic backpack refill with Arsenal

[pierremgi 4739]

In Vanilla Arma 1.58, place an ammo bearer as player,

place a crate with arsenal in init field:

this addAction [">Arsenal", {["Open",true] spawn BIS_fnc_arsenal}];

 

preview

open arsenal and remove all magazines from the backpack or remove them from inventory,

close arsenal eventually,

re-open arsenal: all magazines are present in the backpack, refilled at full.

 

Is it possible to let the loadout as it was before opening Arsenal? It's a waste of time for any custom config to remove what should be not here.

Or at least add an option:

- auto refill according to the type of unit;

- do not auto refill at Arsenal opening

 

NB: This feature occurs only for the backpack... vest and uniform are not automatically refilled.

Thanks

Anybody has this problem.... or a solution?

Try clicking the backpack tab once, maybe select a different backpack and then go back to the original one, see if that stops it from happening. This might indicate a subtle bug/unwanted 'feature' in bis_fnc_arsenal.

Hello,

Razazel (BIS developer and feedback tracker admin) and me have taken a closer look into the issue and we think we found out what the problem is.

If you have choosen one of the Viper units you have to take a closer look into the backpack list of the Virtual Arsenal. There is a second Viper Harness (Green Hex) right under the one, the default unit is carrying.

The default Viper Harness (Green Hex) that the Viper unit carries will only save the inventory if you choose the rifle AFTER you have deleted all ammo. But if you edit the stuff after you have choosen the rifle, the backpack will restore its default content after you clicked on OK.

Just click on the second Viper Harness from the backpack list and you can edit the stuff without any problems.

You will find the same double backpack entries at Paramedics, Combat Life Savers, Engineers, Demo Specialists etc. - all units that have their own role (and backpack with predefined stuff in their backpack).

For example take the NATO Combat Life Saver. He is carrying the Assault Pack (Green). If you take a closer look there is a second Assault Pack (Green) in the list.

This issue will hopefully get solved in the next weeks.

​Best regards

If your playing as a ammobearer or medic or engineer ect, you get a backpack with predefined ammo in it. so since you have that backpack once you close the arsenal it will give you the exact same backpack with the same classname and the predefined ammo. to fix this select no backpack and then the empty version of the backpack that is present in the arsenal
