## 1. Config Values

### 1.1 Ammo Configs

```cpp
class CfgAmmo {
    class MyLaserGuidedRocket {
        ace_rearm_caliber = 250;  // Set to the correct caliber
        ace_rearm_dummy = "ace_rearm_MyLaserGuidedRocket";  // Set to correct vehicle classname
    };
};

class CfgVehicles {
    class ace_rearm_defaultCarriedObject;
    class ace_rearm_MyLaserGuidedRocket: ace_rearm_defaultCarriedObject {
        model = "\directory\model.p3d";  // Set to correct static model path
    };
};
```

<div class="panel callout">
    <h5>Note:</h5>
    <p>ace_rearm_caliber is only needed if you aren't inheriting from any of BI base classes or if your ammo has a different caliber.</p>
    <p>ace_rearm_dummy is only needed if you have a custom ammunition model. For each model you should create a dummy vehicle extending ace_rearm_defaultCarriedObject.</p>
</div>

### 1.2 Setting vehicle as a supply
A vehicle will be set as a supply vehicle based on the config `ace_rearm_defaultSupply`
```cpp
class MyTruck: Car_F {
    ace_rearm_defaultSupply = 1200;
};
```
<div class="panel callout">
    <h5>Note:</h5>
    <p>Mission makers can also use `this setVariable ["ace_rearm_isSupplyVehicle", true]`</p>
</div>

## 2. Variables

### 2.1 Allow Rearming of Scripted Loadouts

`ace_rearm_scriptedLoadout`

Normally ACE Rearm evaluates what magazines a vehicle can carry by looking at the turret configs of the vehicle. This means that if a vehicle has a scripted loadout, for example using `addMagazineTurret` to give it different magazines than standard, those scripted magazines cannot be loaded with Rearm and the vehicle may be overloaded by rearming the magazines from the turret configs.

If a scripted loadout is used, this variable can be set to true to switch the magazines that can be rearmed from the turret configs to any empty magazine in the vehicle.

```cpp
VEHICLE addMagazineTurret ["SmokeLauncherMag",[0,0]];
VEHICLE setVariable ["ace_rearm_scriptedLoadout", true, true];
```

## 3. Functions

### 3.1 Adding specific magazines

`ace_rearm_fnc_addMagazineToSupply`

---| --------- | ---- | ------------------------
0  | Ammo Truck | Object | Required
1  | Magazine Classname | String | Required
2  | Only add content of one ammo box | Boolean | Optional (default: `false`)
**R** | None | None | Return value

This function is most useful with the module setting `Only specific Magazines`. Note that this function only adds one magazine of a specific class. Other magazines of the same size are not available on this module setting. It has to be used to replenish the ammo truck on `Only specific Magazines` setting.

This function can also be used to increase the supply count on setting `Limited ammo supply based on caliber` by a certain caliber value.

#### 3.1.1 Example

`[ammo_truck, "32Rnd_155mm_Mo_shells"] call ace_rearm_fnc_addMagazineToSupply;`

   | Arguments | Explanation
---| --------- | -----------
0  | `ammo_truck` | My ammo truck object
1  | `"32Rnd_155mm_Mo_shells"` | Some magazine class

The 32 artillery shells are added to the supply count or the magazine storage of the specified ammo truck.

### 3.2 Adding all magazines of a specific vehicle

`ace_rearm_fnc_addVehicleMagazinesToSupply`

   | Arguments | Type | Optional (default value)
---| --------- | ---- | ------------------------
0  | Ammo Truck | Object | Required
1  | Any vehicle object or class name | Object or String | Required
**R** | None | None | Return value

This functions wraps `ace_rearm_fnc_addMagazineToSupply` and  uses it to add all default magazines of all supported turrets of the vehicle to the ammo truck.

#### 3.2.1 Example 1

`[ammo_truck, tank] call ace_rearm_fnc_addVehicleMagazinesToSupply;`

   | Arguments | Explanation
---| --------- | -----------
0  |  `ammo_truck` | My ammo truck object
1  |  `tank`| A vehicle object

All magazines found in the class config of the object `tank` are made available.

#### 3.2.2 Example 2

`[ammo_truck, "B_MBT_01_arty_F"] call ace_rearm_fnc_addVehicleMagazinesToSupply;`

   | Arguments | Explanation
---| --------- | -----------
0  |  `ammo_truck` | My ammo truck object
1  |  `"B_MBT_01_arty_F"`| Vehicle class name

All magazines found in the config of the vehicle class `B_MBT_01_arty_F` are made available.

### 3.3 Enabling / disabling rearming

`ace_rearm_fnc_disable`
