Counting Ammo in cargo

[icarus_uk]

Ok people.  I have a cessna, that I want to be loading up with Satchel Charges (just satchel charges).

I want it to count how many charges I have in the cargo and then it shows me the number.  I will be decreasing the number with a seperate part of the script.

_mags = magazines Plane1;
_i = 0;
#loop
_type = _mags select _i;
_count = Plane1 ammo _type;
titleText[format["There are %1 of %2", _count, _type], "PLAIN"];
_i = _i + 1;
? _i < count _mags : goto "loop";


You might have gathered that this doesnt work!  Why not?

Rough trans. from LSD'ish to Tombish :

  Wassup, hifly!!!! what'cha been eatin' lately man?!! them cessies won't let any scroll count mags fer crap
as long as ya ain't got no mags to frikkin count, lazzy!!!! Try & create a custom weapon outta the satchels
and addWeapon/addMagazine the stuff to yer planes.... then ya can count 'em!  ;D

Or 'setAmmoCargo' to a minimum (i.e. only 1 satchel) and use a looped AddMagazineCargo-banana.
( that is if ya can count ammoCargo at all, which brings us back to yer orig. Q   )

;D
