Not getting materials back on removing building parts

[82ndAB_Bravo17]

We are not getting any materials back when removing building parts about 60% - 80% of the time. I removed about 30 corrugated walls one after the other, during which time the server conditions would have been nearly identical, and got back only about 4 sets of materials. The same thing was happening with all the other types of building items that I tried.

I have also tested on completely stock Epoch server with similar results.

At first thought it maybe that the empty weaponholder is cleaned up before the server can add the items to it. 

can you test this by adding a little debug and repacking your server pbo? 

diag_log format["DEBUG EPOCH_server_removeBUILD: %1 parts: %2 for %3",isNull _gwh, _removeParts, _objType];

Just above this line: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Sources/epoch_server/compile/epoch_bases/EPOCH_server_removeBUILD.sqf#L48
 

You should always see: 

DEBUG EPOCH_server_removeBUILD: false

Will give it a try, thanks for the quick response.

We were seeing this today. Seemed that it was building components affected. We got no parts back from cinder walls or garage doors. However Tipi Kits and Shelves were consistently giving back parts

Actually Awol, wouldn't that test need to go at line 167? Or am I misreading something?

@82ndAB_Bravo17 sure, you can try moving it down closer to where the final addMagazineCargoGlobal command is.  I also edited the debug code above to show if you are getting the right parts data from the configs.

Yes, that seems to be the issue. It seems to be solved by adding the code for checking for and creating the weaponholder just before it is used, at line 167

 

Sometimes there is quite a delay before the itema actually appear on the ground.
