Title: Air
Post by: raggy99 on 14 Jan 2004, 15:59:28

i can seem to change the weapon for a air Parashooter
i have tried
"removeallweapons this; this addweapon "m16"; this addmagazine "m16"
how ever he still seems to have the Mp5. this above works on Men Officer but not on air parashooter.

sorry about the spelling but how can i change the weapong for the parashooter to m16

thanks in advance

If you're doing this to the standard, guy-in-parachute unit then it would probably be:

Code: [Select]

removeallweapons (driver this); (driver this) addmagazine "m16"; (driver this) addweapon "m16"

I see the prob, your trying to add weapons to the West>air>parahute unit. U cant, u need to make an empty parachute, make a man with the weapons U want, then use MoveInDriver to get him in the parachute

Or do it the way M21Man said.  Add the weapons to the driver, not the vehicle.

hay

had the same prob on my actual map...do this:
create a parachute from Empty/Air (there are 4 in list, i think 1st is an East, second a west chute, at least my resistance friends shot at the first one)...name the parachute, as exemple "chute"

create a soldier, in the init field type
this assignasdriver chute; this moveindriver chute

after this, you may change any weapons you like to...

hope this works for you

edit:
i used a little script called parachute1.sqs

#place chute
_chute1 = "ParachuteWest" createVehicle getmarkerpos "chute_marker"
pl1 assignasdriver _chute1
pl1 moveindriver _chute1
_chute1 setpos [6525,8454,250]
#end
exit

then create a unit, name it pl1 (or edit the script to your choice and in the init field put: this exec "parachute1.sqs"

If you want more then 1 chute...what i guess....just replace all "1" with a "2", "3" and so on..also in script name...

i hop i didn't confused you more than necessary... ;D

That's getting unnecessarily complicated. Just make an empty parachute (Empty\Air), and name it (I'll use chute1 as name). Now make a guy anywhere on the map, and in his init field put this moveindriver chute1.

i agree m21man, it is more complicated than your solution (which works also fine and is easy to use) but on a MP map, if you make this on playable units and not all slots are taken, you'll have empty chutes around.  this will not affect the gameplay or cause more lag, it's just a little more "elegant"  ;)
