Q. How do you give a unit the ability to heal other units, using the .cpp script?

A. attendant = 1

is what goes in the cpp."

Okay since coding is a real weak point for me, where do you add the "attendant = 1"? I also would like to know how to do the hide corpse ability that black ops have. I would like to give my Lara Croft and some of my other Amazon Addons these abilities.

Heya

For hiding bodies, in the troops' bit where it gives them weapons and stuff e.g.:-

   class SoldierWMortar: SoldierWG
   {
      picture="imortar";
      displayName="$STR_DN_MORTAR";
      accuracy=1.500000;
      weapons[]={"M16","Throw","Put"};
      magazines[]={"M16","M16","M16","M16","Mortar","Mortar","Mortar"};
      threat[]={1,1,0.100000};
   };

put in "canHideBodies=1"

So if you wanted some sniper who can bury bodies then you put this in:-

   class SoldierWSniper: SoldierWB
   {
      picture="isniper";
      displayName="$STR_DN_SNIPER";
      nameSound="sniper";
      accuracy=3.500000;
      nightVision=1;
      camouflage=0.600000;
      sensitivity=2;
      cost=250000;
      weaponSlots="1 +    16 + 2 *    4096 + 4 *          256";
      weapons[]={"M21","Throw","Put"};
      magazines[]={"M21","M21","M21","M21"};
      model="mc sniperw2.p3d";
      threat[]={1,0.100000,0.100000};
                          canHideBodies=1;
   };

you add the "attendant=1;" in the same place as you would add the "canHidBodies=1;" part.  You may need to add "hiddenSelections[]={};" in there as well.  I'm not too sure as I haven't tried making my own medic .  Anyway, I hope this helps.

Ah I see and that has to be added to the mission.sqm or the config.cpp? I wanted to include it with my amazon addon pack for some of the units.

You add it to the add-ons' config.cpp file.
