If the unit has magazines already, you may need to use the commands removeMagazine or removeMagazines to make space for the mags you want to add.

The command doesn't stop adding magazines if the slots are full, it's possible do add much more magazines as slots are defined.

In turreted vehicles the magazine is added to the first turret with >> primaryGunner = 1; << set in the Vehicles turret config part (and the magazine is ONLY added to the very first turret if more than one is configged with >> primaryGunner = 1; << ).

Inkompetent

When wanting to add many magazines to an object's init-line it can be easier to use loops than to just repeat the addMagazine command. If you want to add N magazines to an object either of the two below ways are handy, the first for fewer magazines, and the latter when you want to add many since it then is the easiest of the two to read. {this addMagazine "magazineClassName"} forEach [1,2,3,...,N]; for "_i" from 0 to N-1 do {this addMagazine "magazineClassName"};
