Severity: None
Resolution: Open
Reproducibility: N/A
Category: Scripting

Steps To Reproduce

Example:
_crate addWeaponItemsCargo ["arifle_MX_GL_ACO_F", ["muzzle_snds_H", "", ""], [["30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag", 15, "arifle_MX_GL_ACO_F"], ["3Rnd_HE_Grenade_shell", 2, "GL_3GL_F"]]];

Adds a MX rifle with grenade launcher without optic or flashlight, but with a silencer. The weapon has a loaded magazine with 15 rounds left and and the grenade launcher has a GL grenade clip loaded with 2 grenades left. Note how "arifle_MX_GL_ACO_F" has an ACO optic by default, but it gets overwritten with "". The order of the attachments should be the same as in primaryWeaponItems ( [silencer, flashlight, optic] )

Additional Information

Right now, addding the current weapon of a unit to cargo or WeaponHolder through scripting commands is impossible to do right, as there is no way of specifying the correct attachments, magazines and bullet counts for weapons stored on cargo.
