Description

Description:
Adds a backpack to a unit (even non-local).

⚠
Beware, the backpack added with this command will be created on the PC local to the unit you are adding it to, even if executed on the server. Because of this, if non-local unit is the target and one tries to immediately access added backpack, the backpack returned will be Null. This is inconvenient, but it is what it is. When adding backpack dynamically to a remote unit, wait until backpack is added: 
_unit spawn 
{
	if (!isNull backpackContainer _this) then
	{
		removeBackpackGlobal _this;
		waitUntil { isNull backpackContainer _this };
	};
	_this addBackpackGlobal "B_AssaultPack_khk";
	waitUntil { !isNull backpackContainer _this };
	backpackContainer _this addMagazineCargoGlobal ["30Rnd_556x45_Stanag",5];
};
