Rearmin mid-mission

[hobson_matt]

Hi,

i am creating a Gulf war mission in which there is a full on assault on the Iraqi border, is it possible for me to re-arm my tanks after the front line?  i Know i can set healh to full, but can i set ammo back to how it was at the beginning?

Why dont you make a radio trigger and order an Ammo Truck to come support you?

I did think of this, am thinking of making choppers bring ammo trucks in by hanging them underneath anyway, but i want more control over what ammo is added, really need to know if i can use (addmagazine"XX") for tanks and if i can then what is the list of ammo names, any ideas?

Check the Ed Depot, the ammo listing for 1.91 has a comment with vehicle weapons, that might help you.  

Tutorials - references - weapon and ammo lists.

What kinda armor do you want to rearm?

I have a script that covers about every official vehicle

made by DeadMeat and updated a little by me to include some more recent BIS vehicles

I present to you .....  the reload script

use:

 [Unitname,"unittype"] exec "reload.sqs"

valid "unit types" are:

A10 : A10LGB : AH1 : UH60 : UH60/mg : CH47D : AH64 : OH58

SU25 : Mi24 : Mi17

M2 : M1A1 : M2A2 : M60 : M113 : MIIPBR : VULCAN : JEEP

T80 : T72 : BMP : BMP2 : BOAT : SHILKA

T55


Now, This script will do a full reload of the vehicle you use it on ....
so if you so desire you can edit it to only reload one kind of round.... etc..

have fun

Fantastic, works a treat, now just need to get round a small problem with bringing in my ammo/armour trucks.  I have a script which flies them in and i know that it works fine, i have copied this before into other missions, but now the mission cannot find the .sqs file, odd!!

[macguba]

Probably a typo.

Or the ultimate embarrassement, the .sqs isn't in the mission folder  

[hobson_matt]

HEH, nope, no typo and the file is in the folder, i have a chopper, a chute, an ammo truck and a trigger that in the original mission work fine.  if i copy these to another mission and move the sqs file, then it doesnt work, an the anoying thing is that i have done it before!!!!!!

maybe, by accident, it's a .sqs.txt now?  ;D you never know
