Did you tried this:

Code: [Select]

snip addeventhandler ["fired","(_this select 0) removemagazines ""10Rnd_762x54_SVD"" "]In ArmA there is a difference between strings("") and code({}) and since addEventhandler requires a string you cant use {}. But it is weird that it crashed or worked instead of just producing an error message.  ???

T_D, you can easily use strings in eventHandlers, for example

Code: [Select]

this addEventHandler ["hit",{hint "ouch"}]works just fine..

I remember OFP having an issue with removing weapons/ammo (can't remember which it was) from an AI if it was targeting an enemy unit, it caused the game to crash..
That of course doesn't explain this CTD happening only with the Atari version of the game.. :(

LCD,

How about if you have the eventhandler call a script instead.  Then put the remove code inside the script.  Maybe that will sneak past this bug.
