AI thrown grenades and smoke? (another basic question)

[AirCav]

Hi,

I've tried all the published lines I can find for throwing smoke, nothing seems to work.  DUDE fire "Smokeshell" in a waypoint On Activation field has no effect.   What is the proper line?

BTW-  I use OFP 1.46.

Try:

unit fire ["throw","SmokeShell","SmokeShell"]

yea actually i have a problem in the editor where if i use this command:


removeallweapons this; this addweapon "smokeshellred"

then i dont have any ammo for the smokeshells, it says "Smokeshellred" in the top left, but it is in red and i have 0 ammo for it.

this is annoying!!!!!

the problem is you havent got any ammo for your smokeshell

try

removeallweapons this; this addmagazine "smokeshellred"; this addweapon "smokeshellred"

then try

man fire ["Throw","SmokeShellRed"]

Stoned-

Now i'm confused.  If I need a 'loon' to drop a grenade to pick up a smoke shell.  I have to say this removemagazine "HandGrenade"; this addmagazine "smokeshell" or this removeweapon "HandGrenade"; this addweapon "smokeshell"?

I think grenades are considered magazines. If not do a quickie test with addmag and addweapon.

Grenades fall under the magazine catagory.  Seems you have to remove all of them before the smokeshells will register.

mm... not quite.

"SmokeShellRed" is not a weapon... the weapon that's used when you use it is the "Throw" weapon.

Bottom line, don't try to add it was a weapon. Just add it as a magazine and you should be fine
