Returning weapon names and mags

[StonedSoldier]

is it possible for a script to detect what weapon the player has then return the weapons name and magazine type...

so if the player was a basic western soldier the returned strings would be,

m16
m16mag

a script like this would be really helpful when finding easily the weapon types and magazine types of weapons for addons.

First of all, the M16 magazine is also called M16... (oh, I just had to say this   )

But, you could manufacture a script using 'commands' like primaryWeapon, secondaryWeapon, weapons, magazines, etc...

The ComRef has them all...

Greets,

Returning a soldiers Primary Weapon is fairly easy:

_weap = primaryWeapon _unit
hint format ["%1's Primary Weapon = %2", _unit, _weap]

Returning magazines can be done using the magazines command, which returns an array of all the magazines a unit has.

eg:
_mags = magazines _unit
hint format ["%1's magazines: %2", _unit, _mags]

I've attatched a demo script for you. I've initialised all the variables at the top, so you can see what I'm doing...

It should pop up a hint in the corner of the screen giving the primary weapon, secondary weapon and mags of the unit, with a 6 second delay.

Untested at the moment, so try it and see...

UPDATE: Fixed attatchment. Missed out a bracket...
