addmagazine and weapon config

[charon productions 10]

Hey,

i haven`t worked with custom magazines and ammo since OFP.

I remember that at the time it was possible to add any custom magazine

to any weapon once it has been defined in CfgMagazines.

I have a hard time doing that in Arma2.

So is it necessary to ALSO define a new weapon in cfgWeapons that

contains the custom magazines in

magazines[] = {"Name1};

to be able to use

vehicle addmagazine "Mymagazine";

???

Search is difficult with these searchterms to yield the answer to this, any thought would be appreciated.

EDIT: Nevermind i simply declared the vehicle and weapons config additionally and now it works.

jet another post that basickly has a question. then edited .with. edit: i got it working without posting a solution for other people. this is why search somethimes is messy.

so i desided to post a quick example.

class CfgAmmo 
{
class MissileBase;
class My_Ammo : MissileBase 
{
	...
};
};

class CfgMagazines 
{
class Default;
class VehicleMagazine;
class My_Mag_Name : VehicleMagazine 
{
	...
	ammo = "My_Ammo";

};
};

class cfgWeapons
{	
class MissileLauncher;
class My_Launcher : MissileLauncher 
{
	...
	magazines[] = {"My_Mag_Name"};

};
};

this addweapon "My_Launcher"
this addmagazine "My_Mag_Name"

@nuxil:

Look at it like that.

I would not post here if i had not intensively used the search.

That`s the whole point of people helping each other in the forum.

And i DID post the solution:

Thanks for your posted approach, i was however looking for a way to use the

already assigned weapons, as the hard-coded script was just looking for the onboard weapons and would not find additionally assigned ones.

So i added a config that extended the magazine declarations for the onboard weapons by the custom magazine in cfgweapons as well as the turret section of cfgvehicles.

so the next question would be.
