Problem with Random Select

[FireStormHD 1]

Hello ! I'm trying to create a script that allows you to put random weapons and ammo into crates.

 

 

I tried to put this in crate's Init but it does not work.

 

AR15= ["hlc_rifle_RU556", "hlc_30rnd_556x45_EPR"];

G36= ["hlc_rifle_G36E1", "hlc_30rnd_556x45_EPR_G36"];

AWM= ["hlc_rifle_awcovert_BL", "hlc_5rnd_300WM_FMJ_AWM"];

gun = ["AR15","G36", "AWM"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;

this addItemCargoGlobal [gun,1];

 

An idea ?

this addWeaponCargoGlobal [gun,1];

You are handling weapons not items.  Also since you are handling local variables make sure you prefix them with _ .  To avoid problems in the future private them as well eg: private ["_gun"];

I am not sure to have understood everything ....

 

 

So I have to write this

 

_AR15= ["hlc_rifle_RU556", "hlc_30rnd_556x45_EPR"];

_G36= ["hlc_rifle_G36E1", "hlc_30rnd_556x45_EPR_G36"];

_AWM= ["hlc_rifle_awcovert_BL", "hlc_5rnd_300WM_FMJ_AWM"];

_gun = ["_AR15","_G36", "_AWM"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;

this addItemCargoGlobal [gun,1];

 

Where do I write

Quote

private ["_gun"];

 ?

 

[celludriel 79]

private ["_AR15", "_G36", "_AWM", "_gun"];

_AR15 = ["hlc_rifle_RU556", "hlc_30rnd_556x45_EPR"];

_G36 = ["hlc_rifle_G36E1", "hlc_30rnd_556x45_EPR_G36"];

_AWM = ["hlc_rifle_awcovert_BL", "hlc_5rnd_300WM_FMJ_AWM"];

_gun = [_AR15, _G36, _AWM] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;

this addWeaponCargoGlobal [_gun select 0, 1];
this addMagazineCargoGlobal [_gun select 1, 5];

I'm at work so can't test, but try this

[FireStormHD 1]

I can't put this in Init, i have a warning message : "Init: Local Variable in global space"

argh you are not calling this script but using it in an init, disregard my private remarks then

 

AR15 = ["hlc_rifle_RU556", "hlc_30rnd_556x45_EPR"];

G36 = ["hlc_rifle_G36E1", "hlc_30rnd_556x45_EPR_G36"];

AWM = ["hlc_rifle_awcovert_BL", "hlc_5rnd_300WM_FMJ_AWM"];

gun = [AR15, G36, AWM] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;

this addWeaponCargoGlobal [gun select 0, 1];
this addMagazineCargoGlobal [gun select 1, 5];

It's Works !

But when i play solo.

In MP (2 players) i found double stuff. So 2 weapons and his 5 ammo...

[celludriel 79]

this addWeaponCargoGlobal [gun select 0, 1];
this addMagazineCargoGlobal [gun select 1, 5];

Runs globally, each time someone loads the mission enters the map the init method will trigger and so will these methods.  You'll have to find a way to trigger it only once.  There is only so much you can do with init fields though.  Things get way easier if you dive into mission scripting.  Then you can make a server function that gets called just once when the server loads.

Omg thx ! It's Works !  <3

Thanks you too Celludriel !

Look at the selectRandom command:

private _randomElement = selectRandom ["A", "B", "C"];

 

[serena 150]

Based on killzone_kid code:

// in init.sqf
AddRandomWeaponWithAmmo = {
	if (local _this) then {
		if (isNil {WeaponsTable395867}) then {
			WeaponsTable395867 = [
				["hlc_rifle_RU556", "hlc_30rnd_556x45_EPR"],
				["hlc_rifle_G36E1", "hlc_30rnd_556x45_EPR_G36"],
				["hlc_rifle_awcovert_BL", "hlc_5rnd_300WM_FMJ_AWM"]]};
				
		(selectRandom WeaponsTable395867) params ["_weapon", "_ammo"];
		
		_this addWeaponCargoGlobal [_weapon, 1];
		_this addMagazineCargoGlobal [_ammo, 5];
	};
}; 

// in cargo box init field
this call AddRandomWeaponWithAmmo;

* error fixed

It does not work, nothing spawn in my crate :/

Sorry, my fault. It is because calling code executes before target function get initialized. This code fixes problem:

// in init.sqf
if (true) then {
	private _vrn = "AddWeaponWithAmmo";
	private _wpd = [
		["hlc_rifle_RU556", "hlc_30rnd_556x45_EPR"],
		["hlc_rifle_G36E1", "hlc_30rnd_556x45_EPR_G36"],
		["hlc_rifle_awcovert_BL", "hlc_5rnd_300WM_FMJ_AWM"]];

	{
		if (local _x and {not isNil {_x getVariable _vrn}}) then {
			selectRandom _wpd params ["_wpn", "_amm"];
			_x addWeaponCargoGlobal [_wpn, 1];
			_x addMagazineCargoGlobal [_amm, 5];
			_x setVariable [_vrn, nil, true]
		}
	} forEach entities ""
};

// in cargo box init field
this setVariable ["AddWeaponWithAmmo", true]

* code tested, all works as expected

Nice ! thanks you a lot !  :D

 

Now i have a question :)

 

If i want put an another stuff in crate, i need to replace: "addWeaponCargoGlobal" by "additemcargoglobal"  ?

 

Like this ?

 

// in init.sqf
if (true) then {
	private _vrn = "AddWeaponWithAmmo";
	private _wpd = [
		["ItemCompass"],
		["ToolKit"],
		["Binocular"]];

	{
		if (local _x and {not isNil {_x getVariable _vrn}}) then {
			selectRandom _wpd params ["_wpn"];
			_x additemcargoglobal [_wpn, 1];
			_x setVariable [_vrn, nil, true]
		}
	} forEach entities ""
};

 

[serena 150]

Not necessary replace, you can also extend:

// in init.sqf
if (true) then {
	private _vrn = "AddWeaponWithAmmo";
	private _wpd = [
		["hlc_rifle_RU556", "hlc_30rnd_556x45_EPR"],
		["hlc_rifle_G36E1", "hlc_30rnd_556x45_EPR_G36"],
		["hlc_rifle_awcovert_BL", "hlc_5rnd_300WM_FMJ_AWM"]];		
	private _itd = [
		"ItemCompass", "ToolKit", "Binocular"];

	{
		if (local _x and {not isNil {_x getVariable _vrn}}) then {
			selectRandom _wpd params ["_wpn", "_amm"];
			_x addWeaponCargoGlobal [_wpn, 1];
			_x addMagazineCargoGlobal [_amm, 5];
			_x addItemCargoGlobal [selectRandom _itd, 1];
			_x setVariable [_vrn, nil, true]
		}
	} forEach entities ""
};

* code fixed

[FireStormHD 1]

Thanks you again ! :)

Code above fixed
