Problem with WAI dynamic crates

[JasonTM]

In WAI, when the AI spawn it chooses a random array from ai_wep_random and chooses a random gun from the selected array. It does this for each AI that spawns. See below from spawn_group.

if(_gun == "random") 	exitWith { _aiweapon = ai_wep_random call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; };

However, since only one crate spawns it will choose a random array from ai_wep_random and spawn random weapons from within that one array. So, you do not get a completely random gun selection in the crate. See below from dynamic_crate.

_weapons_array	= ai_wep_random call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;

if(_num_weapons > 0) then {

	_num_weapons = (ceil((_num_weapons) / 2) + floor(random (_num_weapons / 2)));

	for "_i" from 1 to _num_weapons do {
		_weapon = _weapons_array call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;
		_ammo = _weapon call find_suitable_ammunition;
		_crate addWeaponCargoGlobal [_weapon,1];
		_crate addMagazineCargoGlobal [_ammo, (1 + floor(random 5))];
	};

Is there a way to make this completely random?

In 1051 my solution was to create an array called crate_weapons and throw all of the guns I wanted in that array and change...

_weapons_array	= ai_wep_random call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;

to...

_weapons_array	= crate_weapons;

Then I would get a random gun selection. Should I just do it this way or is there a better solution?

WAI hasnt changed that much, just a few fixes. This should work.

I just tested it and it works fine.

[JasonTM]

It works as is. My question is about altering the dynamic crate spawning.

[kingpapawawa]

i tested what you suggested and it worked just fine. I guess i worded that wrong the first time.

_weapons_array	= crate_weapons; and then define crate_weapons in the config

[JasonTM]

That is what I did in 1051. I was just curious if the code could be altered in dynamic_crate to avoid the redundancy of having another weapon array in the configs. I added the Overwatch weapons to the configs so the arrays are pretty long.
