Can't get the function, "EatCloserCargoByType" working, can you help?

Hi Dan,

Still working on those addons, although I have come to a snag...

I am unable to get the function "EatCloserCargoByType" to remove any weight from the cargo containers.

Heres the code:


// Load closest battery into Cargo into slot 0
// And check slot 0 status
dFullBatteryMass = 80;
switch (hUcgo.GrappleOneCargoByType("battery",0))
{
case 1:
   strcpy(oapiDebugString(),"Ok Cargo Grappled Battery");
   if ((hUcgo.GetCargoSlotMass(0) / dFullBatteryMass) < 0.01)
   {
      hUcgo.ReleaseOneCargo(0);
      strcpy(oapiDebugString(),"Battery has less than 1% charge.  Charge Battery before use");
   }
   else
   {
      //Charge Internal Tanks With Battery Power but leave
      //less than 1% charge in battery
      dBatteryEaten = ((hUcgo.GetCargoSlotMass(0) / dFullBatteryMass) - 0.009);
      hUcgo.EatCloserCargoByType("battery", dBatteryEaten);
      strcpy(oapiDebugString(),"Charging Internal Battery Tanks With External Battery");
   }
   break;



Thanks ahead of time if you can help.

The cargo itself must be declared as ressource. Look at one ressource cargo config.
