i want that one...

[angora]

i was wondering if its possible to change the weapon a unit has at the begining of a mission i made-up e.g. a soldier with an M16 would start with a M21 or somthing. (this may seem a really stupid question but i just don't know how to do it)

[dmakatra]

Look up the commands:

addweapon
addmagazine
removeweapon
removemagazines
removemagazine

:beat: *Gets Shot* :beat:

im not totally sure but i think in the initit. feild put this addweapon "ak74"   but im not totally sure about that, sorry if its wrong

well... you first want to start out by removing all the weapons the guy carries by default by using:

removeAllWeapons this;

then, you want to add a magazine for your new weapon:  
(you need to add a magazine before the weapon, or else the guy will start with no ammo and have to reload straight away)

this addmagazine "M21";

Finally you can add the weapon:

this addweapon "M21"

and then some more clips:

this addmagazine "M21";

and we may as well give the guy his grenades back too:

this addmagazine "HandGrenade";

so we end up with an init line that looks like this:

removeAllWeapons this; this addmagazine "M21"; this addweapon "M21"; this addmagazine "M21";  this addmagazine "M21";  this addmagazine "M21"; this addmagazine "HandGrenade";  this addmagazine "HandGrenade";  this addmagazine "HandGrenade";
