Rank

[macguba]

Anybody know how to get the rank of a unit?    I mean sort of like getdammage.      

Thanks

I don't know if thats posible...

But there is a getskill command,

So if you have all private on low skill, sergeants on medium and captians on full you could do it that way

[Ace]

of coure in a campaign you ca do it by loadstatus but that not any good unless you have an objects.sav

There's no exact command for it as far as I know.

Anything related to this is that you can createunit a unit and in it's paremeters you can define his rank.  :-\

"soldierwb" createunit [getpos temp1, west1, "westman1 = this", 1, "LIEUTENANT"]

nah, it doesn't really matter ...... I just wanted to use it in a cutscene text something like this

titletext [format ["%1 %2 blah blah blah.", rank loon1, name loon1],"plain",1]

The name works, and it would be nice to have the rank too.

 ;D its for my onplayerkilled script (already implemented in Regina Proeliorum in the Ed Depot) .... so it could be any enemy loon in the game  ;D

relevant parts of the script so far ... it works fine, I would just like to add the villain's rank.


_player = _this select 0
_killer = _this select 1

_hero=name _player
_villain= name _killer

titletext [format ["Lieutenant %1\n\nKilled in Action by %2\n10 January 1986\nR. I. P.",_hero,_villain],"plain",2]

thanks LCD, but don't bother ... its not worth the trouble for something purely cosmetic.   I've got better things to do than write out a list of every west unit in the game .....
