Greetings oWn,
Could you post the exact code that you put in the INIT line?
Make sure it matches this format:
this addMagazine "AK74"; this addMagazine "AK74"; this addWeapon "AK74"
the "AK74" can be "M16" or any other type of weapon. Be careful, though as some weapons like the G36a have different names for magazines (for example "G36a" is the name of the weapon, G36amag" is the ammo).
This is not a problem with the M16 or the AK74 though - they have the same name for ammo and weapon.
Of course, It could be some other problem. By default, I don't think civies have any proper combat AI (don't respond to doTarget commands, etc.), but this problem should be solved once you put them on the East side. Do the West guys see them as enemies - do they attack them?
It could also be that the west soldiers kill the civilians before they have time to reload. Make sure that you put the ammo in before you give them the weapon. This is the Golden Rule of adding weapons.
Hope that was, in some way, helpful...
Good luck, :thumbsup:
