Should be closed.

Submitter obviously doesn't know anything about the editor.

To casxx: go into the editor forum and ask. Items can be added to itemboxes manually and there are scripts that make boxes into "weapon vending machines" with custom menus and everything.

learn scripting, this is VERY EASY to do

Obviously your jumping to conclusions and need to think before writing replies.....

I'm talking in general, the normal user doesn't want to go and write scripts! Like the Loiter waypoint now, Arma needs more of these simple scripts already to choose from and use!

Why can't we have something as simple as an ammo box full by default instead of scavenging around for a script to do it! Simply add the ammo box from the list and done!

This is some what the whole point of having a GUI front end and options in the drop down menus!

Scripting aside, there are simply too many items to put into one container, and the menu would become slow and cumbersome.

We already have containers which have items for each category - weapons ammunition etc. As the number of items increases from the current alpha content, I'm sure items will be added to these to ensure availability as it has been historically.

If you beleive items are missing from these containers, please report them as such, but this request is folly imho.

Normal users aren't lazy enough that they cant search in google for 2 minutes for a "thisaddallshit" line.

and waypoints are not scripted.

If this issue is still relevant in current dev build, please re-post.
