giving the loons names...

[bedges]

i'm creating new soldiers using <createunit> but need to give them names to be accessed via script - or any other command for that matter. how do i do this?

i had thought it would be as simple as

Code: [Select]

newsoldier = "SoldierWB" createUnit [getPos bert, groupAlpha]
enemy1 dofire newsoldier
but not so it seems. or is it?

 

[MI_Fred]

Code: [Select]

"SoldierWB" createUnit [getPos bert, groupAlpha,"newsoldier1=this",1,"PRIVATE"]

So almost as simple as you though. That's the init line of the createUnit command where you must name the new guy.
