Adding tank ammo to the ammo truck?!

[Dr Oink 0]

Okay; I might be really dense, but I cant get the ammotruck to accept tank ammo

(I'm building a "training day" mission for a tank crew, and the need to reload at a couple of poooints in the mission)

I tried the "this addmagazinecargo ["SHELL120",5]"

But when I drive up to the ammo truck in the mission, nothing happens (I was expecting to have the option to "reload at ammotruck")

How do I do this?!?

You can't add the ammo of a tank to the ammo-truck.

The ammo-truck already carries those shells. As long as the ammo-cargo is not 0 the ammo-truck can reload a tank.

BUT: If the tank starts without any ammo, the option "reload @ ammo-truck" will not appear. (Maybe a bug)

So place the ammo-switch just a little right of the "zero"-value. You will now have just a few bullets for the M2 and 1 or 2 shells for the main-gun. Then it should work.

Unlike the infantry ammo, tank ammo is not "weapon specific". There is universal "ammount of cargo". See documenation of "setAmmoCargo" function is official command reference:

vehicle setAmmoCargo ammoCargo

Description:

Set ammount or ammo resources in cargo space of repair vehicle. Ammo resource are used to resupply vehicles. Soldiers use individual magazines instead. Ammount one is full cargo.
