How to set number of ammo for 8Rnd_Hellfire, make it 4 round or so?

[dragon zen 15]

Hey guys:

Simple question but I didn't find the answer.

How to set ammo for 8Rnd_Hellfire or sth like that? Use addMagazine will add full 8Rnd_Hellfire, I want to reduce it to 4 round in a chopper.

Thanks

Not sure if it works for vehicles.

Something like: _choppername addMagazine ["8Rnd_Hellfire", 4];

Your example would essentially give him 24 Hellfire missiles :P

According to Six Config Browser the only mod supporting less than 8Rnd Hellfire mags is ACE, which has 12, 16, 1, 2, 4 and 8 Hellfire mags. Vanilla arma only supports 8Rnd Hellfire mags. I don't know anything about a method to subtract single shots from vehicles though so it might be possible, but if memory serves correctly we've had this topic a while back (~2012) and nobody could get that to work.

From the wiki:

Adds a magazine to a person with said ammunition count. Note: When you add a new weapon via scripting commands as well as the magazines for it, the addMagazine command has to be given before the addWeapon command, otherwise the weapon won't be loaded.

You must be thinking of addMagazineCargo, which looks very similar when typed. Example:

_thing addMagazine ["30Rnd_762x39_AK47", 4]; will give one AK mag, with 4 rounds in it.

_thing addMagazineCargo ["30Rnd_762x39_AK47", 4]; will give 4 AK mags.

If you use GLT Missilebox, you can do stuff like this:

Here is a list from Myke's site which shows some of the different options:
