reported getAmmo does not return correct results on mixed element launchers

[MartinCo]

Hey ED,

Whilst this is somewhat Apache specific for the moment, I decided general as it's an API issue

With the introduction of the Apache and mixed Launcher loadouts the getAmmo does not return the correct ammo quantity.

Reproduction:

Loaded: M261 - 19 x Hydra 70, Pod Zones: C - M274; D/E - M151

Unit:getAmmo() reports 19 x M151 - This should return 12 M274 and 7 M151

After firing 1 x M151 and 2 x M274, the EVENT_SHOT shows the correct missile launched, and as you can see in my WPN page we now have 10 M274 and 6 M151, while getAmmo() reports 16 M151

Hopefully this image has all the information required without a track as the track wouldn't show anything other than the loadout
 

 

Thanks,
Martin

@Flappiesorry for the ping (but you're mostly active on scripting items), probably should have created this in the ME forum - wasn't sure which is the best place for scripting issue visibility

Hi @MartinCo. I may be active on the scripting bug report front, but my Lua skills are still weak.

Could you please attach an example mission including the script you're using?

Sorry for the delay, I only just saw this, Please find attached a self contained setup.

* F10 menu just to print the results of getAmmo showing 38 x M151
* WPN page shows 32 M151, and 6 M257 illumination 
* Upon firing, pop up message shows that i'm firing M257 Illumination 
* F10 getAmmo now reports 32 M151.

Thank you!

Hey @Flappie,

Since the recent introduction of the mixed hellfire pylons on the Apache in the last couple of OB releases (1K + 3L, 2K + 2L etc) we have seen an expansion of this issue.

Taking a mixed pylon of 1K+3L getAmmo reports as a 4 Kilos 

We thought about using the newly available warehouse API to manage what munitions are available, and unfortunately this case persists as the warehouse reduces by K only.

Please see attached trackgetAmmo_114K.trk

- Batumi has 8K in stock (no other weapons)
- I load two pylons of 1K + 3L, we can see that the L-only pylons are unavailable 
- I run getAmmo() and it reports 8K taken
- WPN page shows 1K + 3L on each pylon
- I head back to rearm/refuel to show the warehouse reports no stock available (I.e. considers it all K)

Thanks!
Martin

Hi @MartinCo. I realize I missed your previous post. Sorry about that. I'll check your track when I get home.

[Flappie]

I had reported this issue earlier but could not remember it. I've updated the internal report with your latest track.
