How do I make a Soldier drop his weapon?

[Frosty]

Does anyone know the action to make a soldier drop his weapon. I tried:

LAW action["DROP_WEAPON",LAWLauncher]

but that didn't work. I "believe" that that is the correct action, I found it in the Resistance stringtable.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Frosty

well I don't either, but

unitname action ["Drop Weapon", "weaponanme"]

makes him do the action he just doesn't drop anything

[Frosty]

Nah, I tried that on a LAW Launcher, doesn't work. I was gonna (if it worked) make the condition when his LAW ammo ran out he drops the tube. I don't want to do removeweapon cos it'll not look good.

To drop magazine use:

soldiername action ["drop magazine",soldiername,0,0,"m16"]

To drop weapon use:

soldiername action ["drop weapon",soldiername,0,0,"m16"]

Dont ask me what the 0's mean.  :-\ Also It appears you have to be in the units group to pick up the weapon/magazine although i may be wrong.

I would think that the 0's decide how far ahead of the soldier the weapons are placed...

[Gameer_77]

Emmm...Yeh, yeh...I guess that could be it.

Thanks.
BTW the 0s actually are two other variables, 0 for none, as they are not used.

[Cedaie]

so you mean u can drop multiple weapons with those 0's?

Hey here is two easy ways for this!!
ONE- If he was surrendering.
unit switchmove "fxstandsurdown" he will put his weapon
on the ground and put his hands behind his head!

TWO- removing weapon
unit switchmove "combattoputdown"
~0.8
unit removeweapon"m16"
then he will stand with arms at side!
Then you can use the other commands that have been posted
in this post.
Hope this helps ;D
