Not sure exactly
But you use
this addweaponscargo ["M16",5]

That would add 5 m16s to the crate

Only if the line was in the init field of the crate.  

If you put the name of the ammo crate instead of 'this' then you could use the instruction in a trigger.

more info plz?

i've been wondering how to get soliders to take weapons from a crate without me telling em to, but how do you make them do it without help?

plz help

also, how do you make a solider start with a certain weapon?

E.G. US solider with a M-21

also, how do you make a solider start with a certain weapon?

put in the units init field:

this addmagazine "M21"; this addmagazine "M21"; this addmagazine "M21"; this addmagazine "M21"; this addmagazine "M21"; this addweapon "M21"

EDIT
Oh ya, check THobson's post below about removing the previous weapons/magazines.

i've been wondering how to get soliders to take weapons from a crate without me telling em to, but how do you make them do it without help?

through scripting:

Code: [Select]

soldier domove (getpos ammocrate)

#loop
~0.5
?(soldier distance ammocrate < 2) goto "takeammo"
goto "loop"

#takeammo
soldier action ["take weapon",ammocrate,0,0,ak47]
~0.1

soldier addmagazine "AK47"
soldier addmagazine "AK47"
soldier addmagazine "AK47"
soldier addmagazine "AK47"
soldier addmagazine "AK47"

exit

this will make the soldier (named "soldier") walk up to a crate (name "ammocrate") and take 5 AK47 magazines. All you need to do is find some way of checking if a unit is low on ammo and then executing the above script.

No idea on the first.  Edit - ah see above, it was posted while I was writing.

On the second.  In the init field of the unit you need to remove the weapons/magazines he has by default.  See:
removeAllWeapons unit
unit removeMagazines weaponName
unit removeMagazine weaponName
unit removeWeapon weaponName

Then add weapons and magazines individually.  See:
unit addMagazine weaponName
unit addWeapon weaponName

Note each magazine needs its own instruction.  Take care not to give him more than he can carry of any given type, or to give him any invalid combinations.

and make sure its magazines before weapons so it is auto loaded at the start...
