Cant Add Magazines???

[CopyrightPhilly]

ok i'm using this to give a unit a weapon + magazines

========================================

_unit=_this select 0

_wep = "BAS_JM4desACOGS"
_mag = "JAM_W556_30SDmag"

removeallweapons _unit

_unit addmagazine _mag
_unit addmagazine _mag
_unit addmagazine _mag
_unit addmagazine _mag

_unit addweapon _wep

exit;

========================================

now for some strange reson it will not give the unit and mags...

if i put this into the units init then it works...

removeallweapons this; this addmagazine "JAM_W556_30SDmag"; this addweapon "BAS_JM4desACOGS";

so any idea what i'm doing wrong???

i bet its sumthing stupid...

cheers, Philly

Is the script starting correctly?

Add

hint "started"

to the beginning of the script to check.   Also make sure you are passing the unit correctly.

[this] exec "start_weapon.sqs"

Try adding a M16 and M16 mags. Maybe the problem is with the BAS magazine. Also try using that script on yourself (player).

Erm, the DE/RA 1.55 readme says about this weapon

M4 SOPMOD, ACOG Optics
wpn:   BAS_JM4desACOG
mag:   JAM_W556_30mag OR JAM_W556_30HDmag OR BAS_M4Mag

Unlike the some other weapons, this weapon should have JAM_W556_30mag mags and not JAM_W556_30SDmag mags.

Another way? Did you try it with the correct magazine string name?
