Description

Description:

Creates a loadout from given inventory structure and applies it to a unit. When String for class name is supplied, the command will search CfgVehicles for the given class in order to extract the loadout from config. If Config is given, it will search given config (including mission config) for the loadout information. In either case, the config should contain the following entries, which is standard for any unit class, for example:

class MyLoadout
{
	uniformClass = "U_B_CombatUniform_mcam";
	backpack = "B_AssaultPack_mcamo";
	linkedItems[] = {"V_PlateCarrier1_rgr","H_HelmetB","ItemCompass","ItemWatch","ItemRadio","NVGoggles"};
	weapons[] = {"arifle_MX_ACO_pointer_F","hgun_P07_F"};
	items[] = {"FirstAidKit","FirstAidKit","FirstAidKit"};
	magazines[] = {"30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag","16Rnd_9x21_Mag","SmokeShell","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade","HandGrenade"};

demellion: NOTE: Empty or used magazines in loadouts will be refilled under specific circumstance, even if the refill argument is false. This seems to happen if amount of used magazines is 2 or more. player setUnitLoadout [ ["arifle_MX_ACO_pointer_F","","acc_pointer_IR","optic_Aco",[],[],""], [], ["hgun_P07_F","","","",["16Rnd_9x21_Mag",16],[],""], ["U_B_CombatUniform_mcam",[ ["30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag",1,1] ]], ["V_PlateCarrier1_rgr",[]], ["B_AssaultPack_mcamo_Ammo",[]], "H_HelmetB_grass","",[],["ItemMap","","ItemRadio","ItemCompass","ItemWatch","NVGoggles"] ] Will result in 30Rnd magazine with one bullet in it. player setUnitLoadout [ ["arifle_MX_ACO_pointer_F","","acc_pointer_IR","optic_Aco",[],[],""], [], ["hgun_P07_F","","","",["16Rnd_9x21_Mag",16],[],""], ["U_B_CombatUniform_mcam",[ ["30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag",2,1] ]], ["V_PlateCarrier1_rgr",[]], ["B_AssaultPack_mcamo_Ammo",[]], "H_HelmetB_grass","",[],["ItemMap","","ItemRadio","ItemCompass","ItemWatch","NVGoggles"] ] Will result in 2 magazines but full, 30 rounds in it.

Andrew_S90: Here is a command I wrote up that provides a fix for the ammo bug described by demellion above. https://pastebin.com/SHX41Jkk Pass a loadout to your compiled command and it will provide one back that will not refill ammo
