scripting - new command that returns list of all existing backpacks
Feedback, WishlistPublic

Description

This command can be useful in a mission for restricting the number of mortars/darter UAVs/any-weapon-that-gets-disassembled present on the battlefield.

In my mission I use the "vehicles" and "allDead" commands to track how many vehicles of a given type exist in the mission (players can create vehicles dynamically in this mission). This way I can force only a restricted number of attack helicopters/ dangerous vehicles on the battlefield for game balance and would like to do the same for backpack-transported weapons/UAVs/etc
.

The command should return all backpack objects: those that are on soldiers' back, in vehicle inventory, on ground, in ammo boxes, etc

That makes no sense since things in inventories are not objects.

What doesn't make sense to me is downvote a feature only based on the fact it "might" not be possible to implement it.

Second, you can reference a backpack object with a variable even if it's carried by a soldier or in a vehicle inventory.

Third, every item in ArmA environment is an object...

this issue can be closed the workaround is to use everyBackpack, backpackContainer and allMissionObjects
