Add Magzine into Weapon?

[pedwards3x 1]

Anyone know how to force a weapon given to a player to start with a magazine? When I add magazines to the player they just go into the inventory, so when the player spawns they have mags but have to reload in order to put one in their weapon to start. Any way to fix that?

Add the magazines first.

Problem is though sometimes you will not have space for the magazine until the weapon is added.

[galzohar 31]

Still no solution for how to add magazine into weapon that is already equipped? Is this completely impossible? If so, might be worth a ticket on the tracker.

Have you tried https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addPrimaryWeaponItem ?

It might work.

Can't you fake it, like adding a uniform, add the magazines and the weapon and then remove the uniform?

I've never had the problem where a weapon wasn't loaded.

[galzohar 31]

addPrimaryWeaponItem doesn't accept magazines, just like primaryWeaponItems does not return them.

[2nd ranger 282]

Remove the weapon, then immediately afterward add a magazine and add the weapon again.

I tested it holding an empty weapon, then doing what I said above adds a magazine to it without having to reload.

I don't really know what the problem is though, you mean if you have full inventory but pick up an empty weapon and want a mag in it?

Your suggestion didn't work for me, Ranger.

However, I finally figured it out! :D

Not working, magazine won't be loaded:

player addMagazine _magazine;
player addWeapon _weapon;

Works, weapon will be loaded:

player addMagazine _magazine;
sleep 0.001;
player addWeapon _weapon;

Make sure you add a vest BEFORE adding multiple magazines, else it wont be stored.

Space really wasn't the issue, at least in my case. It just needed the micro-sleep. I try to avoid sleeps in functions, like most people, but it really seems necessary in this case. :(

Edit:

There you go... seems to be working as well, weapon will be loaded:

player addMagazine _magazine;
waitUntil {(_magazine in (magazines player))};
player addWeapon _weapon;

No need for sleeping as far as I'm aware...

However space is still a very big issue, especially now in 0.76 where launcher ammo does not fit into a vest and thus you cannot load add a loaded launcher without adding a backpack first.

_muzzle = [player, "arifle_SDAR_F", 6] call BIS_fnc_addWeapon;

Equips the player with an underwater rifle and six dual purpose magazines.

_muzzle = [player, "arifle_SDAR_F", 6, 1] call BIS_fnc_addWeapon;

OR

_muzzle = [player, "arifle_SDAR_F", 6, "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag"] call BIS_fnc_addWeapon;

Equips the player with an underwater rifle and six normal magazines.

You need to load the weapon a bit later than the magazine. With this line:

_workaround = this spawn {waitUntil{time > 0.5}; _this addweapon "srifle_EBR_ACO_F"}; 

This is my loadout:

this = _this select 0;

RemoveAllWeapons this;
{this removeMagazine _x;} foreach (magazines this);
removeUniform this;
removeVest this;
removeBackpack this;
removeGoggles this;
removeHeadGear this;
{
this unassignItem _x;
this removeItem _x;
} foreach (assignedItems this);

this addmagazine "20Rnd_762x51_Mag";
_workaround = this spawn {waitUntil{time > 0.5}; _this addweapon "srifle_EBR_ACO_F"};
_workaround = this spawn {waitUntil{time > 1}; _this addPrimaryWeaponItem "optic_Sos"};
_workaround = this spawn {waitUntil{time > 1}; _this addPrimaryWeaponItem "acc_pointer_IR"};
_workaround = this spawn {waitUntil{time > 1}; _this addPrimaryWeaponItem "muzzle_snds_B"};
this addmagazine "16Rnd_9x21_Mag";
_workaround = this spawn {waitUntil{time > 1}; _this addweapon "hgun_Rook40_F"};
_workaround = this spawn {waitUntil{time > 1}; _this addHandgunItem "muzzle_snds_L"};
_workaround = this spawn {waitUntil{time > 1}; _this addWeapon "Rangefinder"};
_workaround = this spawn {waitUntil{time > 1}; _this addWeapon "B_UavTerminal"};
