Naming Spawned Cargo Crates

[Ciribob]

Does anyone know if there is a way to name spawned cargo crates such that something appears next to the weight on the F6 radio menu?

 

The code I use is below and I tried adding a desc and description field but no luck.

 

   local _point = _heli:getPoint()
     local _static = {
           ["category"] = "Cargo",
           ["shape_name"] = "ab-212_cargo",
           ["type"] = "Cargo1",
           ["unitId"] = 10000,
           ["y"] = _point.z + 20,
           ["x"] = _point.x + 20,
           ["mass"] = 1500,
           ["name"] = "Cargo Test",
           ["description"] = "test",
           ["desc"] = "test2",
           ["canCargo"] = true,
           ["heading"] = 0,
       }

   coalition.addStaticObject(2, _static)

 

The Cargo object does have the method getCargoDisplayName() and this is used when building the menu in RadioCommandDialogsPanel.lua but I can't work out how to set the field.

 

Is there also a way to check if a heli is currently sling loading a crate?

Interesting question, I would like to know that, too.
