Changing Weapons

[nitespectre88]

Can someone tell me how i can modify a units weapon? like on a Black Op's HK to a M21 and adding a LAW Launcher.  It would help best if the info is for OFP: Cold War Crisis.

You want a combination of removing their existing weapons, and adding new weapons.

Its best to start out with a fresh unit;
In the units INIT field put;

RemoveAllWeapons This

THen you want to add ammo for the weapon, its best to add the ammo first as there is a bug if you add the weapon first, there ends up no ammo in it.

This AddMagazine "M21"

Then to add the gun;

This AddWeapon "M21"

This adds one magazine and one weapon.  Put semi colons " ; " between each command to seperate them, so you might end up with an init line that looks a bit like this;

RemoveAllWeapons This; This AddMagazine "M21"; This AddWeapon "M21"; This AddMagazine "M21"; This AddMagazine "M21"; This AddMagazine "M21"

[myke13021]

sure....put the following into the unit's init field:

removeallweapons this; this addmagazine "M21"; this addMagazine "M21"; this addMagazine "M21"; this addMagazine "M21"; this addWeapon "M21"; this addMagazine "LAWLauncher"; this addMagazine "LAWLauncher"; this addMagazine "LAWLauncher"; this addWeapon "LAWLauncher"

you can do this also in a script and just call the script from the units init field

but always make sure to add first magazines before adding the respective weapon, else the weapon wouldn't be loaded.

so the word "this" needs to be in the init path as well? do I also do the same for crates as well?

[gundernak]

'this' in the init field always represents the unit you are editing.

If your unit has a name, you can change 'this' to the unit's name, but there is no meaning of it. Using 'this' is much more simpler and faster...


For Crates you should use this:

this addweaponcargo ["M21",1]; this addmagazinecargo ["M21",10]; this addweaponcargo ["LAwLauncher",1]; this addmagazinecargo ["LAWLauncher",6]

[myke13021]

this addweaponcargo ["M21",1]; this addmagazinecargo ["M21",10]; this addweaponcargo ["LAwLauncher",1]; this addmagazinecargo ["LAWLauncher",6]

the numbers behind the weapon name stands for the amount you'll put into the crate.
For all weapon names, look if you find the command reference (comref)...afaik theres a list with all valid weapon names...if someone has a link to it, plz post it

Editors Depot - Tutorials - References.   (Link in my sig line below)

Several weapon and ammo lists in there as well as other handy stuff.

hmmm...m8 it be that the editors depot doesn't like Netscape? i can't get into the tutorials menu...all i get is repeatedly the Welcome site....

or is just because it is still under re-construction? btw...how long till ofpec.com will be back online in it's full beauty?

hmm... the tutorial page doesnt for for IE or Netscape for me.  It keeps on going back to the welcome page.  Must be still under construction.  Since I can't get to the lists they have of the weapons in there, any of you know what the name is for the G36?  Thanks for the help guys/gals.
