Putting mines to vehicles

[zxcc 0]

How to quickly select mines as a weapon so I can put them to vehicles without having to drop other weapons first? Is it possible to make "Toggle weapons" cycle though all weapons even mines and satchel charges while carrying primary and / or secondary weapons?

It can be done but not as simply as you would like.

 

One way:

Drop your primary weapon then satchels, pipe bombs or mines become selectable using the space bar.

Select what you want to load, then use [ ] for the action menu and go to end of list and you'll see "Put Satchel Charges to 5t Truck".

 

Other way:

Using a vehicle that already has some magazines, grenades or what ever, continue taking these and you'll get to the mines or satchels and you'll see in the action menu something like:

 

Take M16 MAG (Drop Mine)

Take HandGrenade (Drop Satchel)

 

With this method one will always be left in your inventory. Using the first method you can load the last one in vehicle.

 

I only happened upon this one day be accident.

 

For Hand Grenades just select them with space bar and in action menu choose:

"Put Hand Grenade to 5t Truck"

 

Putting mines and satchels will only work if you have no grenades also.

 

Of course this works the same with ammo crates as well.

 

If there is something else that works I'd like to know.

 

I'm sure this can be dove via scripting, but that would need to be written in missions to work.
