How to remove primaryWeapon Ammo/Magazine

[csk222 23]

Hello. How do I remove a players Primary Weapon ammo/magazine? I used to replace all gear, items, and weapons but now I am experimenting with only replacing the primary weapon so players can still keep their custom uniforms. The following code works as planned but it still leaves the old primary weapons magazines in the players inventory. How do I get rid of them?

 

Note: There is no way of telling what weapon a player may be using at any given time so its not like I can remove a specific ammo type.

private ["_soldier"];
_soldier = _this select 0;

if(local _soldier) then {
	
	// Remove Primary Weapon
	_soldier removeWeapon (primaryWeapon _soldier);

	// Add Primary Weapon
	_soldier addMagazines ["10Rnd_338_Mag",4];
	_soldier addweapon "srifle_DMR_02_F";
	_soldier addPrimaryWeaponItem "optic_Nightstalker";
	_soldier addPrimaryWeaponItem "muzzle_snds_338_black";
	_soldier addPrimaryWeaponItem "bipod_01_F_blk";
	_soldier addPrimaryWeaponItem "acc_pointer_IR";	
};

removeallweapons this:

 

Then add the specific weapon.

 

You must add the magazines before the rifle.   Other wise the mission starts and the weapon is not loaded.

removeallweapons this; removes all weapons including sidearm, explosives, and launchers. I'm looking for a way to just remove primary weapon ammo/magazines.

 

This is the original code: Where I remove and reassign everything. I want to just replace the primary weapon and remove any "old" primary weapon ammo

{ if ( _x in primaryWeaponMagazine _soldier ) then { _soldier removeMagazine _x } } forEach magazines _soldier;

_soldier removeWeapon primaryWeapon _soldier;

When you say custom uniforms, are they getting them via virtual arsenal. If so you could always just whitelist items in the virtual arsenal you want them to use.

[csk222 23]

Thanks for the response but larrow had the answer I was looking for. It works so far in the editor but I haven't uploaded/tested the mission on the dedicated server yet. I'm sure it will work though.

[cthulhu616 3]

{ if ( _x in primaryWeaponMagazine _soldier ) then { _soldier removeMagazine _x } } forEach magazines _soldier;
_soldier removeWeapon primaryWeapon _soldier;

This is one way,

 

but if the player has other magazines (One weapon can load multiple types of magazines) or has no magazines loaded, it won't work.

 

so get all attachable magazines from the config and delete them.

but if the player has other magazines (One weapon can load multiple types of magazines) or has no magazines loaded, it won't work.

This is true, primaryWeaponMagazines will only return all currently loaded magazines of each muzzle of the weapon.

_compatibleMags = [];
{
	_mags = [];
	if ( _x != "this" ) then {
		_mags = getArray( configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> primaryWeapon _soldier >> _x >> "magazines" ); 
	}else{
		_mags = getArray( configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> primaryWeapon _soldier >> "magazines" ); 
	};
	_compatibleMags = _compatibleMags + _mags;
}forEach getArray( configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> primaryWeapon _soldier >> "muzzles" );
{
	if ( _x in _compatibleMags ) then {
		_soldier removeMagazine _x;
	}
} forEach magazines _soldier;
_soldier removeWeapon primaryWeapon _soldier;

cthulhu616 thanks for bringing that up. I tested the previous code with the MK20 and it left the other tracer magazines in the inventory. larrow thank you for the latest update - it works.

If you use "DropWeapon" action, the all relevant magazines are removed automatically. However there are 2 disadvantages with this method:

1. you need weaponholder or container to put the weapon to

2. it plays animation

Hello everyone. Sorry for revive this topic.

I'm making use of Larrow code and need some adjustments. I cant know how do that

What i need for now is count every ammo amount. Something like that:

Ammo_MxGL = 5 Magazines
Ammo_MxGL Tracer Red = 2 Magazines
Ammo_MxGL Launcher = 3 Magazines

I'm trying to replace the weapon with the exactly counter part ammo.

[warbirdguy1 14]

Placed this in the units init

 

player setAmmo [currentWeapon player, 0]; player addMagazine "rhs_magazine_rhs_mag_556x45_30Rnd_M200_Stanag";

So far my attempt to remove the magazine from the primary weapon and add a magazine to the vest of the player that I want instead.  I can drain the players ammo via the player setAmmo [currentWeapon player, 0]; in the unit init but can not load a magazine into their vest or weapon.  Any ideas how to do so?  I am at a bit of a loss.

[serena 151]

warbirdguy1, look:

// how-to add number of magazines to player vest:
vestContainer player addMagazineCargo ["HandGrenade", 100];

// how-to load magazine directly to player primary weapon:
player addPrimaryWeaponItem "30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag"; // replace with your weapon compatible magazine type

Hello, my issue is almost in the same vein as the OP so I hope it is ok that I bring this one to life.

 

The version below that Larrow provided already some time ago removes all the magazines that are in the players inventory but still leaves a magazine attached to the players weapon

On 22/12/2015 at 2:21 AM, Larrow said:

{ if ( _x in primaryWeaponMagazine _soldier ) then { _soldier removeMagazine _x } } forEach magazines _soldier;

 

 

I found another version (also by Larrow :) ) where primaryWeaponMagazine is used, see https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/157990-primaryweaponmagazine/?tab=comments#comment-2481601

priMag = primaryWeaponMagazine player;
player removeMagazine (priMag select 0);

This version removes one magazine from the player though I'm not sure if it's the magazine that's attached to the current primary weapon or a magazine that's in the player inventory.

Either way that script does not leave the player's weapon unloaded (as in: without an attached magazine).

 

Is there any actual way to remove the currently attached magazine/clip from a player's weapon thus leaving it unloaded? Should be possible with primaryWeaponMagazine ?
