Help me with setWeaponReloadingTime for tanks please

[maggot31 1]

I tried a lot of different things but it seems not to be working.  I want a 140k to reload twice faster so I paste "vehicle setWeaponReloadingTime [gunner (vehicle player), currentMuzzle (gunner (vehicle player)), 0.5]; " and it doesn't work. It always says "Missing ;" 
It's my 3rd time pasting scripts to the vehicles so I have no idea how to fix this.

vehicle is a command, not a user variable name.

vehicle player setWeaponReloadingTime [gunner vehicle player, currentMuzzle (gunner vehicle player), 0.5];

or

_vehicle == anExistingVehicleVariableNameInYourMission;  // or a spawned one

_vehicle setWeaponReloadingTime [gunner (vehicle player), currentMuzzle (gunner (vehicle player)), 0.5];

 

Welcome to the forum btw.

"vehicle player setWeaponReloadingTime [gunner vehicle player, currentMuzzle (gunner vehicle player), 0.5];" for this I have the same error "Missing ;"

Also the 2nd variant is not working for me too https://prntscr.com/tstr9v

That's a problem of copy paste the code (probably from BIKI, then Forum).

So if you paste it in Notepad++, UTF-8 and all characters visible, you'll read:

v?ehicle player setWeaponRe?l?oadingTime [gunner vehicle player, currentMuzzle (gunner vehicle player), 0.5?]

? as 4 extra, unwanted, boring,well-known,invisible characters.

Delete them or write your line by hand.

Now it says "Type Bool,expected Nothing" in both variants

As I just looked up I tried
call {
vehicle player setWeaponReloadingTime [gunner vehicle player, currentMuzzle (gunner vehicle player), 0.5];
};
and 
0 = vehicle player setWeaponReloadingTime [gunner vehicle player, currentMuzzle (gunner vehicle player), 0.5];
and it is not working
UPD: Downloaded CBA_A3 from the workshop so now I won't have any dumb mistakes and it appears that scripts are not working for some reason.

You need to start with basics. In init field of a unit/object, you can't use a _local variable.

Some editor fields (like init or trigger activation code) must return nothing. 

I don't know what you are trying exactly but your setWeaponReloadingTime will never work this way.

 

I suggest you to write in the init field of the vehicle:

this addEventHandler ["Fired",{
 _this#0 setWeaponReloadingTime [_this#0,_this#2,0.5];
}];

So basically I paste this to the init field of the tank with no mistakes and invisible symbols https://prntscr.com/tsug3j . Press Ok and everything goes fine without mistakes. But it's just not working for some reason. Still have 5-6 sec reloading time of a cannon. Am I just  not getting a thing or it's really not working the way it should? 
this addEventHandler ["Fired",{
 _this#0 setWeaponReloadingTime [_this#0,_this#2,0.5];
}];

Bah, that worked for hunter...

Try:

this addEventHandler ["Fired",{
 _this#0 setWeaponReloadingTime [gunner (_this#0),currentMuzzle gunner (_this#0),0.5];
}];

🤪

Yep . This finally works! Thank you!
