Can you add ammo to an ammo crate mid mission?

M trying to make a multi-player map that can be played for hours. Need to make the ammo last.

Same for trucks? Got choppers.

You should be able, in an activation field of a trigger just type:

box_name Addmagazinecargo ["ammoname",10]

everytime it is activated, the command will repeat and add more ammo

Might I suggest downloading the Command Ref that BI just released, it's very helpful

The command reference doesn't work for me? It just says "XML Version check" and nothing else.

It should work with IE5.5 cos thats what I got.

;ammo crate 1

ammo1 addweaponcargo ["M16", 3];

ammo1 addmagazinecargo ["M16", 10];

ammo1 addweaponcargo ["m21", 3];

ammo1 addmagazinecargo ["m21", 10];

ammo1 addweaponcargo ["handgrenade", 10];

ammo1 addweaponcargo ["binocular", 1];

ammo1 addweaponcargo ["m4", 3];

ammo1 addmagazinecargo ["m4", 10];

ammo1 addweaponcargo ["M16grenadelauncher", 3];

ammo1 addmagazinecargo ["grenadelauncher", 10];

ammo1 addweaponcargo ["M60", 3];

ammo1 addmagazinecargo ["M60", 10];

ammo1 addweaponcargo ["lawlauncher", 1];

ammo1 addmagazinecargo ["lawlauncher", 10];

ammo1 addweaponcargo ["AAlauncher", 1];

ammo1 addmagazinecargo ["AAlauncher", 10];

ammo1 addweaponcargo ["carlgustavlauncher", 1];

ammo1 addmagazinecargo ["carlgustavlauncher", 10];

I think you are supposed to add ammo before you add the weapon that uses it. That makes them come fully loaded when you grab them I think. I know there was some good reason to do the ammo before the weapon....

That is true with soldiers

Addmagazine first, then Addweapon to make sure it's loaded from the start of the mission.
