addmagazine not working right!!

[zachgibson22 3]

Okay this is seriously pissing me off. For some reason I can't get any magazines on my guy! for some reason the only magazine that seems to work for me is "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag".

And I can't find out why! I've tried random magazine and they won't work, even a few handgun mags.

I'm on the current Stable Branch build, and only using one mod(Nature Mod). PLEASE, someone help me!

Here's what I'm putting in my INIT.

a little hint

try to wear something before you put ammo in your pocket..

arma has a gear based inventory system

to add multiple mags you can simply this addMagazines ["name", count];

addMagazine has been adding double lately for me. Huge pain in the ass with what I have been working on.

Pretty sure you'll need to add the uniform, vest and backpack before adding magazines.

wouldn't it HAVE to be

this addMagazine ["30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag", 5];

[tryteyker 28]

You need to add storage space (ie vests, backpacks) before you add ammunition. Use addMagazines before adding the weapon, otherwise it'll not be loaded when you start the mission.

[Waffle_SS 11]

wouldn't it HAVE to be

this addMagazine ["30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag", 5];

If you want 5 rounds in a magazine, then yes...

[fusion13 11]

No no no that is

player setAmmo [handgunWeapon player, 10];

What that dose is it will add 5 Mags of that type. Not 5 rounds....

:dancehead:

[tryteyker 28]

Waffle is actually right. addMagazine array gives you a single magazine with said ammo count. addMagazine gives you a full mag, but only one. addMagazines gives you a specified amount of full magazines.

[fusion13 11]

Since when I have always used that

[tryteyker 28]

It's been like that since Operation Arrowhead. What you used in ArmA 3 is probably addMagazines

[fusion13 11]

Probable, my b

awesome guys thanks! What I actually generally do do add more magazines is this.

(unitBackpack this) addMagazineCargo ["9Rnd_45ACP_Mag",5];
