semipr0 Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Seems to me that if I have stanag magazines in my inventory and all of them have about 7 bullets in them, I should be able to right click on one and choose an option to condense 5.56 ammunition, which would then take the ammo count from the other two depleted mags and add the count to the selected mag and to clear the inventory and DB system of near spent magazines in a clean fashion that gives the end user the ability to bring their magazines back up to nearly full by clearing out other depleted mags in inventory. Seems like there is some pre-built functionality for this in the Arma 2 base code and it might be a nice feature to have as a convenience feature for Epoch users.

Eegore Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Ive never seen magazines combine in ARMA 2 so I don't know what base code you are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semipr0 Posted September 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 You can split DMR mags for M24 and back and forth, also 1911 to .45 ACP and back and forth. There is a basic framework in there which would potentially only require a little adaptation to make magazine combining viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eegore Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 I see what you mean. What is happening is an inventory replacement of a full magazine, not ammunition counts being combined into a current magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is happening is an inventory replacement of a full magazine, not ammunition counts being combined into a current magazine. Right I'm just saying that ammunition counts are something that can be calculated at the script level. All magazines have a numeric ammunition count. Thats what the green line in inventory represents the numeric value of bullets in the magazine. You could potentially combine two 5.56 magazines, one with 20 rounds and another with 20 rounds and end up with 10 loose 5.56 rounds as a new object that could be added to a magazine that is depleted by the numeric value of the bullet space in the magazine. Its kinda Stand Alone-ish before the Stand Alone and might be a nice feature for Epoch. Overall though its just a convenience feature though.

BetterDeadThanZed Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Isn't this a part of regular DayZ as of a few patches ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercules Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Isn't this a part of regular DayZ as of a few patches ago? Yep... 1.8 definitely has it in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEB11 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Is there a mod script for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
