selectweapon

[dmakatra]

OK. So I have a mission where a chopper attacks a tank. Now, when I dofire him, he choose that bloody 30mm cannon, and that just far too small explosion for my taste. Is there anyway I can select a weapon for a AI or perhaps delete the ammo from the other weapons so he only can choose that weapon I want? Plz help

Thx in advance.

oh sh!t! IÂ'm sorry guys. The name of da topic was just a typingerror(forgot the space!) and when I saw that I thought 'Why not check that out?' and I did! And there was such a command! Lol @ me ;D.

Anyway:

*TOPIC BACK!! HURRAY! ;D*

It didnÂ't work. He change back to that stupid little 30mm cannon again! what must I do?

Hey, here is a really cheap and ungraceful solution....

If there any way to start the chopper without any gun ammo?

[dmakatra]

yeah, but how do I do that. I mean, I cant set the ammo on 0 cause I need ammo in the AT6....

[Uberminch]

i wonder if the selectweapon command could be loop so he would keep doing it over and over.....

good idea. IÂ'll test that.

set the ammo to 0 and add back the missiles ??  or havea  lot of removemagazine

[dmakatra]

hereÂ's my script:

#over
chopper selectweapon "AT6"
~0.2
? !(alive tank) : goto "exit"
goto "over"

#exit
exit

didnÂ't work.

can u addmagazine AT6? kool(LCD language again! Back off evil demons!! ;D). IÂ'll test that then

[Uberminch]

Choppers can go to the devil. I hate them! there must be some way to do it without using removemag commands....

[dmakatra]

Removemagazine chopper didnÂ't work.... There gotta be some other way....

[Uberminch]

GRRRR! I searched the script snippets and tutes, but found nothing. This seems so simple. I'm sure someone must know how to do it. unfortunatly, I don't have time to make a more extensive search myself.

Good Luck, Armstrong  :-\

just use the this Removemagazines machinegun30

or whatever the name of the gun is called.

Removemagazines gets rid of EVERY mag for that weapon.

EDIT :

I browsed the reference and found all the possible vehicle ammo names
