[Help Please with calling a script from a script for static weapons.]

@Mig . Thank you so much for this, it has solved the problem!

That's what I love about this community, the help from you more experienced scripters helps us all move forward with our knowledge.

Can't thank you enough,

 

[Help Please with calling a script from a script for static weapons.]

Hi Mig, thanks for the reply. Tried and still doesn't work. Here's how it goes:-

empty all items from inv into backpack

RC on m240 and click build dshkm, tells me i need 3 poles, good

add poles, RC on m240, tells me i need 1 scrap, good

add scrap, RC on m240 tells me i need 4 mags, good

add 4 mags Rc on m240 and nothing happens, hence the slight confusion right now

Thanks again.

/////NONE OF THESE SCRIPTS ARE MINE. FULL CREDIT TO THOSE THAT CREATED THEM???

 

Hi all, hopefully you'll be able to solve this for me.Although I've been playing for years, i'm relatively new to the scripting side. And before anyone says use the search function, I've been trying that for 4 days with no help. I am trying to call a script from within a script but it doesn't seem to work. The best thing I can do is post the code and hope someone points me in the proper direction. Many thanks in advance.

 

The reason I am trying to call this particular script is it spawns the weapon where the player is located, either on the ground or on my base. Other scripts for this don't seem to have that sorted.

I'm using RC option to call the first script, with an M240 as the trigger. If I call the second script from the RC option it works fine, but obviously doesn't look for required items, just takes from inventory.

 

so this is what i have. I'm trying to call from here. It tells me I need the items if I don't have, but when I do have it does nothing

 

Spoiler

_hasitems = [["ItemPole",3], "PartGeneric", ["100Rnd_762x51_M240",4]] call player_checkItems;

 

if(_hasitems} then {

     
      execVM "dshkm\DSHkM_Gue.sqf";         
 
        
    };

and this is what I'm trying to call
