Title: AI thrown grenades and smoke? (another basic question)
Post by: AirCav on 12 Jan 2005, 05:09:24

Hi,

I've tried all the published lines I can find for throwing smoke, nothing seems to work.  DUDE fire "Smokeshell" in a waypoint On Activation field has no effect.   What is the proper line?

BTW-  I use OFP 1.46.

Try:

unit fire ["throw","SmokeShell","SmokeShell"]

;)

yea actually i have a problem in the editor where if i use this command:


removeallweapons this; this addweapon "smokeshellred"

then i dont have any ammo for the smokeshells, it says "Smokeshellred" in the top left, but it is in red and i have 0 ammo for it.

this is annoying!!!!!

the problem is you havent got any ammo for your smokeshell

try

removeallweapons this; this addmagazine "smokeshellred"; this addweapon "smokeshellred"

then try

man fire ["Throw","SmokeShellRed"]

Stoned-

Now i'm confused.  If I need a 'loon' to drop a grenade to pick up a smoke shell.  I have to say this removemagazine "HandGrenade"; this addmagazine "smokeshell" or this removeweapon "HandGrenade"; this addweapon "smokeshell"?

I think grenades are considered magazines. If not do a quickie test with addmag and addweapon. ::)

Grenades fall under the magazine catagory.  Seems you have to remove all of them before the smokeshells will register.

mm... not quite.

"SmokeShellRed" is not a weapon... the weapon that's used when you use it is the "Throw" weapon.

Bottom line, don't try to add it was a weapon. Just add it as a magazine and you should be fine ;)
