AMMO BOX\'S

[Kct 0]

can i edit whats inside an ammo box like put flares and stuff inside?

Yes you can, here is an example of one that I use

All this is placed in the init of the ammo box

removeALLWeapons e_ammo_a; ClearMagazineCargo e_ammo_a; this addweaponcargo ["AALauncher",2]; this addmagazinecargo ["AALauncher",10]; this addweaponcargo ["M21",2];  this addmagazinecargo ["M21",10]; this addweaponcargo ["M60",2]; this addmagazinecargo [""M60"",10]; this addweaponcargo ["Pipebomb",12]; this addmagazinecargo ["Pipebomb",12]

Hope this helps

No need to use addweaponcargo["Pipebomb",12]. That works but it has no effect. All you need is the addmagazinecargo -part for pipebombs.

There are a lot of mission editing FAQ's out there, and this topic is covered in every one of them. Anyway, I'll help you out.

OK, when you place an ammo crate to map with the editor, double click it to open the Edit Unit -window. You should see a field called "Initialization" approximately in the middle of the window.

Say, if you want to put two M16s, two M21's, ten M16 clips, twenty M21 clips and six hand grenades to the crate, this is what you should type in the Initialization -field:

this AddMagazineCargo ["M16",10]; this AddMagazineCargo ["M21",20]; this AddWeaponCargo ["m16",2]; this AddWeaponCargo ["m21",2]; this AddMagazineCargo ["Handgrenade",6]

The crate has some satchels and magazines in it as a default, so if you want to remove those you should put "ClearMagazineCargo this" in the BEGINNING of the init field.

All weapon and ammo abbreviations in v1.30 can be found from here:

That</a> should get you started.

You guys are being nicer than I would. This information is on every tutorial on the net. If he can't find that out for himself, he'll be in here every 5 minutes with this kind of question.

I don't have a problem helping people out. I've answered a few queries here myself, but if this guy can't be bothered to find out the most simple basics for himself, Im d*amned if I'm goona spoon feed him.
