how to put weapons/ammo etc in vehicles?????? Options

[berbinator]

OK this is driving me up the wall I have looked all over and tried about everything I have seen without avail. How do you put weapons and ammo into vehicles (read cars, trucks, tanks, etc) whenever I try _whatever vehicle it is addWeaponCargo ["MP5A5",1] it gives me some crap about local variable in global space or something? I have never done this before and it is driving me batty.

CODE

This addweaponcargo ["MP5A5",1]

Should work, are you sure that what you've got? (no underspace at the start)

Just to chime in with addMagazinecargo for magazines etc.

All weapons and Magazine class names can be found here

nice works as always guys

BUT on the other extreme do you know how to remove them all ?

I have tried removeallweapons in the init, and when creating the unit (vehicle) in question changed the ammo slider to nil, yet they always seem to have atleast grenades in them!

To remove a weapon

CODE

removeAllWeapons this

always check the COMREF

for the grenades you may want to try removeMagazine if removeAllWeapons leaves them behind


edit:
yep, Rellikki is right. The removeMagazine command is for a unit

Nope. To remove weapons from a vehicle, you need to use clearMagazineCargo and clearWeaponCargo commands.

i found it is easy to put weapons in vehicles by using the arma edit software then copy and pasting the special script lines and change the name crate with the name of the object.
This way is for lazy people like me who cant be bothered writing out scripts

Wouldn't that take longer though?
Because, you've got to do all that messing around with ArmAedit, which admittedly is good for writing complex scripts, but this is just a matter of typing a line or so in the editor.

Yeah all it was was writing one line of script in the init line of the vehicle/ammobox etc. in the mission editor, no opening other auxiliary programs or anything.

yes a do i put a mp5 but i cant add magazines on a cargo.

[Rellikki]

Why not? Please be more specific.
The command to add magazines in vehicles' cargo is addMagazineCargo and the MP5 magazine classnames are: 30Rnd_9x19_MP5 and 30Rnd_9x19_MP5SD. That's all you need to know... probably.
