# setMagazineTurretAmmo

*Command · Turrets · Arma 3 v1.34*

## Description

Sets ammo count to given amount for given turret magazine.

> [!NOTE]
> Arma 3 v2.18 The magazine is first checked if it is loaded into the turret weapon, if not, the command falls back to old behaviour of selecting the first magazine from the list of available magazines.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> The turret itself **must** be local (see [turretLocal](../commands/turretLocal.md), [turretOwner](../commands/turretOwner.md)).
