Title: Changing kits between soldiers
Post by: Triggerhappy on 12 Jul 2005, 17:27:17

here's a little script i put together that lets any 2 units switch kits(all their weapons and ammo).
it should be mp compatible, but i can't test that.

it can be used as an action like it is in the demo mission, but you can also call the script to change 2 ai units or force the player to change,etc

[unit1,unit2] exec "kitswitch.sqs"

order doesn't matter ( [unit2,unit1] )

known bugs:
1: if you don't reload and you switch weapons, it will gain back its ammo in the mag you hadn't reloaded
2: when you switch weapons you have to hit your "toggle weapons" key to be able to fire

i don't think 1 can be fixed, but what about 2? does anyone have any ideas?

question 2 - use 'selectweapon' (http://www.ofpec.com/editors/comref.php?letter=S#selectWeapon)...

odd, its still didn't work... the same thing happens:
you have your gun out, but you have to toggle between single,burst, grenades (whatever button that is)  to be able to shoot.

Try a combination of selectweapon and

unitname action ["weaponinhand"]

the weapon is in their hand.

if you dl the script you'll see what i mean
there is a little demo mission where you can take people kits through actions.

_primary = primaryweapon _unit
_ammo = magazines _unit
_weps = weapons _unit

{_unit addMagazine _x} forEach _ammo
{_unit addWeapon _x} forEach _weps
?(_primary == "M16GrenadeLauncher"): _primary = "M16Muzzle"
?(_primary == "Ak74GrenadeLauncher"): _primary = "AK74Muzzle"
?(_primary == "Ak47GrenadeLauncher"): _primary = "AK47Muzzle"


_unit selectWeapon _primary


most addon grenade launcher weapons are also "XXXMuzzle"

there are a few exceptions to the rule

but use the lines above will auto select normal fire muzzle without having to toggle through weapons

well, if thats the only problem, than why won't a regular m16 get selected, or any other weapon that isn't a grenade launcher
