PLayer Has Weapon

[armymanbronson]

hey lads, just a quick question, i am making a mission where the player has been shot down, but the radio man bailed out and is dead a few clicks away. so the player has to go and use his radio to radio for help. but i want his waypoints not to continue untill he has the radio and has used it. i though player has weapon "sebrpc" but for some reason it gives the player his next waypoint even though he hasnt picked up the radio. i tried a few other ways but after he gets the radio the way point just says wait for others. so it wont give him the next way point. im guessing u have to use a script for this, anyone know of one to help us out??
cheers

the "sebrpc" reference made me think of the 'Nam Pack, where there's this one soldier who is a radio man. I suppose that's what you're using, right?

Anyway, as far as I can tell the actual radio doesn't do anything, and it's used for exactly the kind of stuff you're planning on using it for However, since it can't fire and doesn't have any ammunition or any other way to check if you're "using" it, you better just add a little extra condition to that waypoint...i.e, after using the radio (as in the radio menue, which is what I suppose you're using), you just add a line like, usedRadio=true at the back of the script or on Activation line, and then put usedRadio in the condition field, making it look something like:

aP hasWeapon "sebrpc" AND usedRadio

:-) that should solve your problem. If this wasn't your problem, please elaborate a little bit more    

G'luck!

Wolfrug out.
