BackpackOnChest - Redux

Good to know and thank you.

Thanks for the help.

I just needed to write in a patch to prevent people from using the "Alternative Running" sprint mod while carrying a bag on their chest since they were able to circumvent the force-walk restriction by just doing the modded sprint (The mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2198339170)

I just had to change the path to the XEH_preinit.sqf to my own and included this in the beginning to patch the exploit, code below worked as needed as a simple workaround

if (!isNil {player getVariable ["bocr_main_chestpack", nil]}) exitWith {
systemChat "You are unable to sprint with a bag on your chest.";
};

I almost had it, wasn't totally sure about `_main_` being there, and couldn't be arsed to boot the game to try.

I'd recommend using `isNil` directly as of 'Arma 3' v2.18:
_unit isNil "bocr_main_chestpack"

instead of

isNil {_unit getVariable ["bocr_main_chestpack", nil]}

Thank you! 👍

the macro actually expands to bocr_main_chestpack. Easiest way to check if a player has a chestpack is to run

if (isNil {_unit getVariable ["bocr_main_chestpack", nil]}) then {
systemChat "Unit does not have a backpack on their chest";
};

@Ↄ

`_unit getVariable "bocr_chestpack"` (98% certainty), as defined on line 52 in the `/addons/main/functions/fnc_addChestpack.sqf` file, showing what the var contains.

What is a variable I can check to see if the player has a bag on their chest..

RHS RD-54 backpack is in the knee area when moving it to chest. same with R-148 radio

mjc4wilton, its happened with RHS vehicles and USAF C-130

Do you have any specific vehicles that this is happening to? Ideally classname and mod so I can reproduce to troubleshoot it.
