Alright, so maybe "whits end" is a bit much, but it is starting to frustrate me. I've recently gotten started on my quest to edit Arma to do my evil bidding, and have immediately run into a snag. I know how much you guys hate seeing the same ol' questions being espoused, but I assure you I have lurked amongst these threads for days now trying to find a solution (and have also downloaded a few editing guides) and still come up with zilch.

Basically what I'm looking to do is put a different weapon in the hands of a character than the one normally assigned to him. I've been trying to use the init box for this unit to do so. Here is how I'm typing this out:

removeallweapons this; this add magazine "30Rnd_556x45Stanag"; this addweapons "m16a2"

I realize the above would only allot me one magazine, just didn't want to type all of that out. So what am I doing wrong? I either get the "type any expected nothing" message, or the "missing ;" message.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!

Should be


No spaces in addmagazine, no "S" in addweapon.

Awesome, bro! Thanks! I promise not to bog you guys down with this stuff again.

Don't feel like you don't have to ask questions that may seem minor to the rest of us, however, for the next time you do have a question regarding scripts please post them in the Mission Editing and Scripting sub forum as that is the correct place to post.
