Grodlund Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Hi! Wouldn't it be great if ground units actually could replenish their ammunition from the Ammo box, under Static Objects> Cargos > Ammo? It would make them usable, and strategic, and it would be an awesome mission for helicopters, to sling-load cargo and deliver to frontline troops. I can't imagine ED would add this feature any time soon, but perhaps another forum user know how to do it? I figure it should be a line, somewhear, in the unit description for the URAL375 and M818 ammo trucks, that could be copied and added to the description of the ammo box? If so - would it be client sided, or would friends be able to use it, if they play a mission i created?

Drexx Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 I made this work on my server Dynamic Caucasus lol, its called the reload crate, and I have to respawn the group (unit or units) to make this happen Developer of DDCS MP Engine, dynamicdcs.com https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=208608
Grodlund Posted January 24, 2018 Author Posted January 24, 2018 After doing some digging into the files, I found that both red and blue ammo trucks had the following line in their description "GT.warehouse = true" (Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Scripts\Database\vehicles\unarmed) Now I just need to find the folder containing the file descriptions for cargos, and I might be able to test this myself.

Grodlund Posted January 29, 2018 Author Posted January 29, 2018 So far, no progress in finding or editing the description for cargos. If anyone knows how or if it could be done, please share :) "Your pumping days are over, Megatron!" -Optimus Prime "This calls for a very special blend of psychology and extreme violence" -Vyvian

It would make them usable, and strategic, and it would be an awesome mission for helicopters, to sling-load cargo and deliver to frontline troops. Has any progress been made in this matter? :huh: I would like to resupply my troops with slingloads. Slingloading an ammobox and ...whooop....trigger an whole ammo truck...an immersion breaker.
