How do I reduce the range at which I an acess the VA? I can get to it from very far away, and would like to not be able to do that

@☾CS☽ FlamingNova you have to double click the object and then you'll see the "Object: Init" tab

how do you even get to the initialization part, it doesnt show up for me

I was able to fix it. I removed the VA.sqf file, and added 0 = ["AmmoboxInit",[_this,true]] spawn BIS_fnc_arsenal; in the "crate init:" box.

I'm trying to add the supply drop to a multiplayer mission. No vehicle respawn, just supply drop with virtual arsenal. With the code you gave me now, the crate disconnects from the parachute and drops to the ground.

It stops working when I export the mission, is that when it starts reading the VA file?

[Dick Caught In Fan]

for multiplayer put this in the initialization of the object, i havent tested this with vehicles on a respawn script tho. (_this select 0) addAction [""Open Virtual Arsenal"", {[""Open"",true] spawn BIS_fnc_arsenal}];

Hi, I was able to get this working in preview of the mission. But after exporting it to Multiplayer and starting a server, the virtual arsenal doesn't show when interacting with the box. Any solution to this?

Where do I create the file? In game or in my Computer Files?
