Removing specific ammo from a vehicle turret

[lexx 1332]

So at first glance, this looks like a non-issue. Just do e.g.

this removeMagazinesTurret ["2Rnd_GAT_missiles",[0]]

...right?

 

Now I just found out that there is a tiny issue that makes this kinda mood in singleplayer. As soon as I save & load, the vehicle is fully stocked on that ammo type again.

 

Is there any other trick or script command that I've got to use here? I don't really want to make a loop and constantly check the vehicle ammo + remove it again, just because the player *could* possibly reload at any time.

Include code in this and it should del on loading

 

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Event_Handlers/addMissionEventHandler#Loaded

[lexx 1332]

handle1 = addMissionEventHandler ["Loaded",{ testtank removeMagazinesTurret ["2Rnd_GAT_missiles",[0]] }];

Nope, doesn't work. Tried it already a while ago in a different situation. Save & Load = Ammo is back.

Maybe do it as getIn/getInMan EH then

[lexx 1332]

Something like this?

test addEventHandler ["GetIn",{ test removeMagazinesTurret ['2Rnd_GAT_missiles',[0]] }]

test = vehicle name.

 

Doesn't do anything either.

 

 

/Edit: The Loaded event handler in itself is working. It's just that removeMagazinesTurret doesn't seem to. Even if I'll call it from within the event handler with [] spawn and a sleep delay.

 

/Edit2: It seems removeMagazinesTurret only works once? Even if I execute it again after loading in the debug console, nothing happens.

That's strange, I've definitely used it in the past with getIn to remove unwanted mags.

example how i do this with armed boats
 

if (typeOf _veh == "B_Boat_Armed_01_minigun_F") then {
    private ["_mags", "_i"];
   _mags = [_veh magazinesTurret [-1],_veh magazinesTurret [0],_veh magazinesTurret [1]];// need to define for each vehicle type
   _i= -1;
	{
	  _veh removeMagazinesTurret [_x select 0,[_i]];
	 _i = _i + 1;
	} forEach _mags;
};

^ Error Type any, expected String.

 

 

Got it working with keeping it simple:

test setAmmo ["missiles_titan", 0];

 

Sadly, doesn't work for "autocannon_30mm_CTWS" - probably because it uses multiple ammo types.

as David doss recommended. use types and do removals for all turrets and magazines. You can use the config viewer to get the mags and turrets classnames for each vehicle you are trying to edit.

Good Luck.

ps. I know there is a post over at exilemod forums that shows this exactly but in a different form since that mod loads the vehicles with their own function, but I'm pretty sure you will be able to do the same from the vehicles init in sp

[lexx 1332]

Why would I use types? I want to remove *some* ammo from specific vehicles, not everything from all of em.

 

I haven't tried the posted code, but right now I don't exactly see how it is much different than my initial try. Like I've pointed out already, removeMagazinesTurret doesn't seem to work anymore after it was used once and the game got loaded. And using it once, then loading a savegame seems to undo its actions.

maybe try selecting appropriate turret weapon with selectWeaponTurret first and then attempt to remove mags

[Joe98 90]

Remove all the ammo from all the weapons.

Then add back only the ammo you want.
