Weapons on ground

[angusjm]

Is there any way to make weapons on the ground?  Could you put a random soldier or something, make him drop his weapon then vanish?  Ammo crates and trucks can be useful, but they are not effective for some missions .

Code: [Select]

_weapon = "WeaponHolder" createVehicle _position
_weapon addWeaponCargo ["M16", 1]

I think addMagazineCargo should work, too.

  Just in addition to this   here's how to do it in a trigger :


Place a Trigger on the weapon spot ya wanna create

then NAME the trigger in the "name" field - let's name it G1
and just let it fire right away (by anyone). Remember to set the RADIUS to 0/0  

Put this in the "OnActivation" field :


W1="WeaponHolder" createVehicle Getpos G1; W1 addMagazineCargo ["M16",4]; W1 addWeaponCargo ["M16",1]

This would place a fully loaded M16 on the weapon spot (the "G1"-trigger, right?!)

NOTE :    Sometimes (when placing handguns at least), it can take a while
        before yer able to actually pick up the gun   it's probably
      just a question of getting the ol' OFP engine up & running.  ;D


( the orig. game enginge is buried underneath a mountain of upgrades, yanno )


 PS.  you need OFP v_1.75 (resistance) to do this.
