Backpacks in editor

[JAMIEL 10]

Im creating a simple mission in the editor for multiplayer and i cant seem to add backpacks into an ammo box.

i added the ammo box with all items using init code from:

http://www.twitlonger.com/show/l8t2id

however it doesnt have backpacks.. are there any 'addbackpackcargo' codes or something like that to get backpacks?

You cannot add a container into another container.

there are vests in there though and you can hold items in those.. are they not the same class?

You make a good and valid point, but ARMA's engine doesn't allow it for whatever reason.

strange... I have a script that fills a crate with all weapons, items and backpacks

addBackpackCargoGlobal

EDIT: Oh snap. Beaten!

Tested. Wow apparently you can do this in ARMA 3 and it must have been fixed in ARMA 2 OA.

Thank you all! First time editing in Arma.. It's great. I gotta learn more.
