Description

Description:
Adds/overrides loadout to a vehicle pylon. TransportPylonsComponent in vehicle config and pylonWeapon in the magazine config are required to run.
This command also adds the corresponding weapon if the vehicle does not have one, but will not remove one that is no longer used.
Multiplayer:
This command should run locally to the vehicle itself or it will cause desync issue! (especially upon the locality change, e.g getting in the vehicle). See Example 4 for an MP-compatible usage.
Groups:
Vehicle Loadouts

turret must be [] if you wanted to equip the magazine to the pilot. [-1] returns false and fails unlike other turret-related commands.
