I get a error messg with this script.

[FLBEE]

This script is called from another script in which the player is setpos in the sameplace as the selected squad member, then the squadmemeber is deletevehicle outta there.It is so the player can take the role of another squad member during the mission.

I get a error messege:
No entry 'config.bin/Cfg weapons.scalar bool array string oxfcffffer'

Then the system gets all laggy.
I'm using non addon weapons. My scripting is basic, so I could be barking up the wrong tree.

note: _this is the squad memeber being replaced by the player

;finds a units weapon loadout and gives it to player


_member = _this

Check your spelling first.

You have:

_pimary = PrimaryWeapon _memeber

and:

_magarray = magazines _memeber

But the variable is declared as:

_member = _this

Remove the extra 'e' from _memeber to make it _member.

aaaaaaaahhhh!
I hate when I do that!

Thx--i'll go fix it and give it another try.

[FLBEE]

Fixing the speeling didn't fix the error.

[Planck]

Whuuups........another spelling mistake.....I missed it first time round

_pimary = PrimaryWeapon _memeber


Should be _primary


Add the extra 'r'

How are you calling the script:

1:  [unitname] exec .....

or

2: unitname exec ......


If it is #1 then it is wrong.

[FLBEE]

Thx Planck--I have no excuse for that  

When I fixed the spelling this time it did fit the player with the primary weapon of the squadmember, but no ammo. And it didn't get all laggy. The error messg persists tho, must be a problem with the way I am calling for the ammo.

Its # 2 deaddog.

Thx for the help.

[Planck]

I think you will need to add the magazines too.....preffereably before the weapon.

Edit ......Forget that........I wasn't thinking right

Planck.

[Planck]

Not sure if it would work.....but instead of your magazine loop, try this:

player addmagazine format ["%1",_magarray]


Try it out anyway.

Or try changing the line in your loop to:

player addmagazine format ["%1",_primary]

Not sure if any of those will work........but experiment.

I got rid of the format stuff and it sort of works now. I find that  'magazines _unit' command already returns the string names of ammo in the array.
So now I get the weapon of the squad member and his ammo--but first I get a diff error messg : "no entry .model"

I got rid of the format on the primary and secondary and it still works fine.---- player addweapon _primary

Strange though, when the player gets the new weapon it is not ready to shoot until I hit the fire mode button(space for me). Like usually single fire is the standard it starts on. And yes it starts loaded.

Once I hit ok on the grey error messg "no entry model" button and hit the space bar I am ready to continue with the mission

_num = 0
#loop
_mag = _magarray select _num
player addmagazine _mag
_num = _num + 1
?_num > _magnumber : goto "next"
goto "loop"

[Planck]

I cooked up a quick test with your script.

The error about 'no entry .model' does not happen if you comment out, or remove the following line:

player addweapon _secondary

It seems to be the secondary weapon that is causing the problem.

LCD OUT

[FLBEE]

YES!!

Thats it!  ;D  

THX Planck. The squadmember never had a secondary weapon anyway. It works now with no problems. Also thanks for taking the time to work on this with me throughout the day.

THX LCD. myguy selectweapon _primary did the trick.


you guys rock!
