          I have a two questions.

#1: When I want to change a soldiers weapon in the init field, it doesn't work. Say the soldier is an east soldier. I type [this removeweapon "AK74"; this addweapon "M16"; this add magazine "M16mag"] If I give a cilvlian a weapon and ammo The civilain's ammo says it has no ammo but when you reload it does. How can I make a guy reload at the start of a mission?

#2: When I hide an objective, It still shows up in the briefing. How can I fix this?

Any Answers are appreciated.

1) You have to add the magazine before you add the ammo

2) head to the editors depot I'm sure there has to be a tutorial on this
( i could be wrong)

The info your looking for to hide briefings is in the code snippets. It's titled "How to use objectives and init.sqs" by snYpir.

remove the "[ ]" and you shouldnÂ't have a problem .

BTW:

Welcome to the forums

1)   remember to remove the loon's existing magazines as well as his weapon.      Does removeallweapons this do that?   Well, I can't remember.

2)  The usual reason for this problem is a syntax error.      In the Briefing our objectives are probably called OBJ_1 etc.    If so, then in then in init.sqs you should have

"1" ObjStatus "hidden"

or whatever it is.    If you called you objective OBJ_banana then it would be "banana" ObjStatus "hidden".       It is NOT "OBJ_1" ObjStatus "hidden".

Hope that helps.    There is a working example in the Tutorial Mission in the Ed Depot for you to copy and paste if you want.
