Civilian Units

[Sira 10]

Where can I find civilians who can handle weapons like in the following example screenshot?

That's from ArmA 1.

And that's for ArmA 2.

Every civilian with the addweapon command.

[Nixo 10]

Except the women... and the priest. As far as I know.

[Sira 10]

Thank you both very much for the the info.

Any chance you could kindly point me to an example of that addweapon command, if possible to select specific weapons.

@Sira

removeallweapons this; this addmagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag"; this addweapon "M16A2"

ect. you can find more weapons at armaholic.com

[Nixo 10]

removeallweapons this; is only needed IF the unit already has a weapon in its hands. If you just want to change a units weapon you can use this removeweapon "xxx" to remove the weapon and then you put a ; as sweguy96 has in his example and then : this addweapon "newweapon". This if they use the same ammunition. There is also a code: this removemagazine which removes the mag. You can combine all of these to add the weapon you want for the unit.

thanks a lot guys :bounce3:

Unfortunately this isn't as straight forward as I thought.

The Weapon and Mag. names that have to be specified don't correspondent with the names in the Item list.

Where can I find the correct names? I'm trying to use this also with RH weapon addons.

Thx

You could PM RH for the classnames of the guns and mags.

Sira, just look in editor dropdown menus, some fractions do have armed civilians already ready to drop in....should be in Resistance and OPFOR, both for Chernarus and Takistani people.

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA_2:_Weapons

=> all ArmA2 classname for official weapons and magazines

for RH weapons there should be a readme into the zip file, just open it and you'll have all the classname you need

[Undeceived 392]

If there is no classname list for whatever addon you use, you can use this script, which shows all information about the units (including the classnames) by just looking at them:

ShowClass by Cyborg11

Edit: And instead of having to write down all classnames there is also the option in the action menu (move mouse wheel) to save all the data into the Arma2.rpt file. So you can copy the classnames out of there directly - saves some work. :)

Wow, thanks a lot guys, very helpful.

@Sira

removeallweapons this; this addmagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag"; this addweapon "M16A2"

ect. you can find more weapons at armaholic.com

Do I have to repeat "addmagazine" as many times as mags are required or is there a shortcut?

I also tried "this addequipment" for NVGoggles, did not work. Is there a list with all those add commands?

(Can not find them in "New_Scripting_Commands_List")

On Armaholic (on the main page, right hand side) there is the Object Library where every weapon, unit, vehicle, etc. is shown, also with its classnames.

The direct link to it: http://www.armatechsquad.com/ArmA2Class/ (yes, it is on Armaholic, even if the link says armatechsquad.)

About your first question:

Yes, you need to put

this addmagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag";

as many times as the desired number of magazines.

To add the NVGoggles, try

this addweapon "NVGoggles";

This should work. As far as I know the command addequipment doesn't even exist. :)

Yes, there is a list of all commands, but this list is very extensive so it will be hard to find what you need if you don't know the name of it. :)

Unfortunately OFPEC.com seems to be down at the moment but when it's up again, make sure you check their forums as well and the COMREF, which contains all commands for editing in the Armaversum, in alphabetical order.
