changing units in editor

[Comrade Joe]

I've noticed that you can remove an armed vehicle's weapons with the removeallweapons command and then add any vehicle weapon you want with the addweapon "x" command. You can even add a cannon to a soldier!!! Its fun adding a 125mm cannon to an m2mg  ;D . And addon free! The question is how do you change a certain unit's name without making an addon?  

[macguba]

What do you mean, change its name?   What are you trying to do?

And yeah, that's a nice little feature.   I made myself a play mission once with an invincibility script, a 30mm cannon with infinite ammo, and as many bad guys as I could be bothered to place.   ;D

Lets say you approach an m2a2 and you want to get in. I dont want the action to sound like "get in m2a2 as gunner" but "get in m3a3 (for example) as gunner".

uh, ud hav 2 make an addon, i believe. i don't know a way 2 do it otherwise. Prooly not possible.

Unit names are defined in the config file - AFAIK you can't crack open the default BIS units and change their names, but you can do this to unofficial addons.
