how can i add ammo to crates?.....

[John]

I think I have to remove all the other wapons first dont I?...and how do I do that?

[Wolfrug]

Hardly necessary

Adding ammo/weapons to crates or vehicles :

addweaponcargo

and for magazines

addmagazinecargo

Format is :

<unit> addweaponcargo  ["Weapon", #]

So, for instance

AmmoCrate addweaponCargo ["AK74", 5]; AmmoCrate addmagazinecargo ["AK74", 30]

Shadam. For full list of official weapon/magazine names, refer to the http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/weapons.html list found there.

Good luck!

not working.....i add what you say and then get near to the ammo crate....and it only says take m16 and take hand grenade....and not what I have added....dont you have to remove what it has to begin with

[Cheetah]

You don't have to remove what's already in the crate, I think that something went wrong and only the default M16 is present.

If you wish to clear the crate, type in its init:

Code: [Select]

removeAllWeapons this; clearMagazineCargo this;
To add an AK74 type:

Code: [Select]

this addweaponCargo ["AK74",1]; this addmagazinecargo ["AK74",1]
Hope that this works.

but this script in oyur mission folder and adjust it do your needs.
in the init line of your crate you put:
[this] exec ammo1.sqs

; *****************************************************
; ammo2: Loadout for AssaultTeam
; Contains Magazines from :
; CORE
; *****************************************************
; EXAMPLE:
; Type this code into the INITIALIZATION box of the crate.
; [this] Exec "ammo1.sqs"
; *****************************************************

clearmagazinecargo _this;
clearweaponcargo _this;

; Get the parameters given
_crate = _this Select 0

_crate AddWeaponCargo ["Steyr", 5]
_crate AddWeaponCargo ["M4ReflexSD", 5]
_crate AddWeaponCargo ["M4A1Acog", 5]
_crate AddWeaponCargo ["MK46", 5]
_crate AddWeaponCargo ["RPGLauncher", 5]
_crate AddWeaponCargo ["AALauncher", 5]


_crate AddMagazineCargo ["SteyrMag", 10]
_crate AddMagazineCargo ["M4ReflexSDMag", 10]
_crate AddMagazineCargo ["M4A1SilencedMag", 30]
_crate AddMagazineCargo ["M4A1Mag", 20]
_crate AddMagazineCargo ["MK46Mag", 20]
_crate AddMagazineCargo ["GrenadeLauncher", 30]
_crate AddMagazineCargo ["RPGLauncher", 20]
_crate AddMagazineCargo ["AALauncher", 10]
_crate AddMagazineCargo ["PipeBomb", 20]
_crate AddMagazineCargo ["Mine", 20]
EXIT

Think this version of your script is quicker...

; *****************************************************
; ammo2: Loadout for AssaultTeam
; Contains Magazines from :
; CORE
; *****************************************************
; EXAMPLE:
; Type this code into the INITIALIZATION box of the crate.
; this Exec "ammo1.sqs"
; *****************************************************

clearmagazinecargo _this;
clearweaponcargo _this;

; Get the parameters given


_This AddWeaponCargo ["Steyr", 5]
_This  AddWeaponCargo ["M4ReflexSD", 5]
_This  AddWeaponCargo ["M4A1Acog", 5]
_This  AddWeaponCargo ["MK46", 5]
_This  AddWeaponCargo ["RPGLauncher", 5]
_This  AddWeaponCargo ["AALauncher", 5]


_This AddMagazineCargo ["SteyrMag", 10]
_This AddMagazineCargo ["M4ReflexSDMag", 10]
_This AddMagazineCargo ["M4A1SilencedMag", 30]
_This AddMagazineCargo ["M4A1Mag", 20]
_This AddMagazineCargo ["MK46Mag", 20]
_This AddMagazineCargo ["GrenadeLauncher", 30]
_This AddMagazineCargo ["RPGLauncher", 20]
_This AddMagazineCargo ["AALauncher", 10]
_This AddMagazineCargo ["PipeBomb", 20]
_This AddMagazineCargo ["Mine", 20]
EXIT

As this version doesnt need the initial array line.

[PetriHonka]

you could just put in the init. field of the crate : this addWeaponCargo "WEAPONNAME , #"; this addMagazineCargo "MAGAZINENAME, #" this will put the specified weapons in the crate alongside the default loadout. The remove weapon script can go before the addweapon part t orem,ove default weapons. If you are adding satchel charges the weapon name is pipebomb.

[dmakatra]

If you wish to clear the crate, type in its init:

Code: [Select]

removeAllWeapons this; clearMagazineCargo this;

clearWeaponsCargo this, not removeAllWeapons this.

I'd use the init line as I reckon a script is a bit of an overkill. Just post what you wrote in the init line and we'll sort it out for you.
