Disable or remove ammo from mounted gun

[Victim9l3 11]

I've been searching scripting topics to find the correct way to do this.

Bi has gone a little crazy with mounting GL on vehicles making them really overpowered. I'm having Madrid apcs land on a beach taking on Green fortifications. Since the Madrid is the only amphibious opfor, I can't just use another vehicle. Having it's default weapon be a GL makes AI destroy everything in it's way. Multiple grenades hitting one fortified section kills any units a big area and behind walls.

Basically I want my greenfor guys to stand a chance. How can I disable the GL so that AI will only used the MG? And/or (hopefully and) what code do I use to remove the ammo for that gun so they won't use it either.

Thanks.

I can't get my victim913 to work anymore so I am now victim9l3

You are looking for the removeMagazinesTurret

You will have to look through the config viewer in the editor to find out the appropriate turret/ammo type it uses.

Try playing around with removeMagazinesTurret. To check what kind of path you need to use, use weaponsTurret. Example:

copyToClipBoard (str(vehicleName weaponsTurret [turretPath (-1, 0, 1, 2)]));

Above should work. Open up notepad and press CTRL + V to see all the data, you'll be able to use it directly.

And use the example provided in a "Radio Alpha" trigger. I'll just double-check it works.

OK, just got done checking. Works. Correct turret path, syntax and magazine name to disable the GMG:

vehicleName removemagazinesturret ["96Rnd_40mm_G_belt",[0]];

Had to use magazinesTurret to check for correct magazine name, weaponsTurret did nothing.

Thank you very much.

----you can't add another weapon. It's part of the model. You might be able to add or change the type of ammo, but I don't think there is another type of ammo for that weapon. Like mortars and artillery comes with standard ammo, but I think you can give it different shells. Like smoke, smoke color, HE rounds, etc. but you might have to wait for official game for that.
