Title: making created units playable
Post by: Killzone on 31 Aug 2007, 20:37:33

I was wondering if its possible to make created units (using a script) to also be playable. I am making an addaction menu for reinforcements and I know how to create a unit but it is not playable.


Thanks in advance.  :D

Does anyone know if the command is local or does it need to be made global (I presume at least on the server).

LCD I appreciate the help but I dont get how to use it. I must admit the comref confuses the heck out of me   ???

it says:

setPlayable Ap

I dont know what ap is or how to use it in  a script

I Tried


"SoldierWSaboteurAssault" createunit [getpos supply,group (leader),"d = this",1,"Private"];

setPlayable leader

I also tried

"SoldierWSaboteurAssault" createunit [getpos supply,group (leader),"d = this",1,"Private"];

setPlayable D

Thinking that they wanted the units name but neither worked. Can you give me an example.

Thanks again.

Code: [Select]

soldier = "SoldierWSaboteurAssault" createunit [getpos supply,group (leader),"d = this",1,"Private"];
setPlayable soldier;

Untested, but should work..
