(Feature) Add a way to re-arm armed vehicles

[JoSchaap]

• explosive specialists wearing a toolbox can rearm an armed vehicle once if they have item X in their inventory
• item X will spawn arround the map just as baseparts but be small and hard to find (wooden box or something)
• a long animation will play while re-arming an armed vehicle :)

[JoSchaap]

or alternatively create an ammotruck mission using a normal truck with some variables set to it's init
allowing 3-5 reloads before its empty :)

but i like the first idea better

[AgentRev]

How about Land_Suitcase_F? Or Box_IND_Support_F?

[JoSchaap]

suitcase is allready the repairkit ;)

ill think of something 👍

[MercyfulFate]

Why not combine the two ideas....
Have a ammo truck mission like in arma 2...
But only explosive experts close enought(or maybe in the truck) can rearm vehicles/helicopters.

Rather than a long animation, have it incrementally increase the ammo in the the vehicle (if its possible).

[AgentRev]

You can only increase the ammo if there are magazines left in the vehicle. If all turret ammo counters are at 0, it means there are no more magazines, and new ones must be added.

[MercyfulFate]

you guys would know more about it than me, but that is how I would try to do it.

up to you guys if you want to do it or not, but that just seems the easiest way, and also adds another mission into the mix. later on you could have an immovable "air dropped crate" (another mission?) that players can refill their ammo trucks at.

[JoSchaap]

might make it so that an explsive engeneer needs to have a Box_IND_Support_F nearbye to rearm a vehicle (or maybe from inside the vehicles content (R3F) :)

need to do some more brianstorming over this :)

[Cosmo121]

How about adding them to the gun store in a separate 'Vehicle Ammo' tab?

For instance, 200Rnd_127x99_mag_Tracer_Red, labeled as 'Hunter 200Rnd HMG Ammo'.

[JoSchaap]

thats what im going for indeed but need to take some time to code it all in :) offcourse only explosive specialists will be able to use these ;)

[AgentRev]

If you make it so it stores the vehicle magazines in the Wasteland inventory with jerry cans and food, I guess it could work.

I can help you with that if you want. Since you will need to use addMagazineTurret, you will need to know the "turret path" to add the magazine to the proper slot, and I know how to find it.

You will probably have to make entries for every compatible turret in the action menu, since for example the UH80 has 2 turrets using the same ammo, so it can't just be a generic "Load vehicle ammo" action.

[AgentRev]

I'll probably just make you a function to which you pass a vehicle and a magazine name, and it will return you an array of arrays contains the name of turret weapons and their turret path value, for example [["Missiles", [0]], ["Minigun", [1]]]

[MercyfulFate]

Working on my inventory system all today so hopefully I should have a pull request in soon. (now have two account so i dont need to wait for others to test the multiplayer side). If you want I can add another item in for you so you have something to base that off of.

[JoSchaap]

postponed till v2.4 there just isnt an appropriate part to use..

did find out there's a bomb in the game :)
classname 'Bomb' and yes you die if you shoot at it /offtopic

[AgentRev]

Sqyrel from the TPG forums mentioned this:

"A new item called Supply Crate - Vehicle Ammo is in the game, pull it up next to your vehicle, and it slowly starts to automatically reload."

[JoSchaap]

Ive been playing with those two crates. But they have an endless supply :)

[HatchetHarry]

Hey JoSchaap
I scripted the Vehicle Reload as Item for the General store.

I just have to fix 2 Bugs:

• Vehicle Passgenger Check as Precondition (only works if the vehicle is empty)
• Need to use another item than the suitcase, because the Playeraction is already using suitcase_f

Will send you the code, when i am ready
Atm i am combining Fussion + Vehicle Buy + GoT + Ammo

Testserver: Armajunkies Myloc Testserver
PW: 1234

[AgentRev]

You should put the code on here

[HatchetHarry]

will upload the files on my github. I have already created a base version, to mark the changes.
will link it than. there are changes in different files.

[JoSchaap]

either way any submissions are allways appreciated. and nice to see KOS and others picking up fussion WL :)

Added my version with the ammokits

The version is not productive. I am still fighting against buyguns.sqf. Buying Vehicles is currently not working on the dedicated server. Think i have to learn more about bis_fnc_mp
