Title: Running scripts for vehicle crews?
Post by: Dajan on 19 Jan 2008, 15:28:05

Couldn't find this anywhere, if its about plesae redirect me!

I'm creating mission using scripts to change units loadouts - thus avoiding cluttered INIT fields - however I can't work out how to use scripts to change the loadout of the crews, say the driver and gunner of a MG Jeep.

Obviously this exec "xxxx.sqs" works for units, but what do I have to change to do the above?

Thanks in advance

you could use the syntax

Code: [Select]

removeallweapons (driver vehicle_name)
(driver vehicle_name) addmagazine "ak74"
alternatively there is a shortcut. add the letter 'c', 'd' or 'g' to the name of the vehicle to grab its commander, driver and gunner respectively. thus the syntax above becomes

Code: [Select]

removeallweapons vehicle_nameD
vehicle_nameD addmagazine "ak74"
untested but should work.
