Title: setrank during game
Post by: blekzebbed on 26 Jan 2006, 21:44:26

A very simple question but I couldn't find it in the FAQ and comref:
 Is there a way to (while the mission is running) set the rank of a soldier. Just like you do with: unitname setdammage 1 or unitname setfuel 0 etc. ?
cheers bekzebbed

something like: unitname setrank "colonel" ? :P


changed spelling of "rank"... bedges

You mean rank, not rang.   :)    And sadly, no, there is no way to set the rank of  loon during the mission.   However, you could delete him and replace him with another loon of a different rank.

Why do you want to change rank anyway?   What is the situation?   We may be able to find a workaround.

if you create a unit with the createunit (http://www.ofpec.com/editors/comref.php?letter=C#createUnit) command, yes.

if you wish to change the rank of an existing unit, no.
