Individual ammo rounds

[AXE 0]

Is it possible to add a single round of ammunition to a unit?

For example, i want to add 1 maverick to the a10 during

a mission. Is this possible?

It's not that no one wants to answer your post, there simply is no regular scripting way to add single rounds of ammunition to the loadout.

For a maverick, maybe?

a10 addMagazine "MaverickAmmoName"

I think he meant how to add single rounds of a given ammo not how to add this ammo or that ammo.

Two ways I can think of are to either add a magazine and expend all but the amount you want it to have. With AI this would be kind of easy. Move them off someplace and have them somehow fire the appropriate number of shots. For players I don't know how to accomplish this without the player seeing it. Maybe black them out, do what you need to do, then unblack dunno.

Another way is it possible to set the number of rounds of ammo for a given magazine type in an addon? Say you want to make your own m16 addon that loads 1 round magazines by default. Not very useful but wait you could make alternate ammo types for that weapon that come in 2,3,4,5,etc round magazines. Then you could just load the "ammotype" that's appropriate to how many rounds you want someone to have.
