Initialization Fields

[MSpencer1313]

I'm trying to do basic scripting and addind weaps. I'm only basic w/ the editor so go easy on me. Where is the initialization field???

First off, make sure you are using the editor in its "advnced" mode.  Dont be fooled by the name, it makes it no harder, but it does give you more options.

Now place a unit on the map (F1), and then double click it.  This brings up the unit propeties.  The Initialisation field (or init) is the long line with initialisation written next to it.

...and in this INIT field ya could put the codes that will add some goodies to your unit  


Try these :

RemoveAllWeapons This

  that would empty the unit's pockets, so to speak. But to add new stuff would take:

This AddMagazine "m16"; this AddMagazine "M16"; This AddWeapon "M16"; This AddWeapon "Binocular"

Now, the guy would have an M16 with two mags, and the gun would be LOADED because you typed the ammo codes before typing the "addWeapon" code!  

Just note that each command has a semicolon ; which seperates it from the following code(s)

There's nothing much to add to Icarus' most excellent answer, but just for the sake of completeness ..... it should say "Advanced" in yellow at the top right of the mission editor map screen..... if it says "Easy" then left click on it once.

Edit:  Or Tomb's
