How do I assign different weapons in mission editor?

[dufalator 2]

Hello,

I have been playing around in the mission editor. I have created a team of frogmen for a night time mission. I want to equip my player with "Night vision goggles" and a sniper rifle. How do you assign specific equipment to individual soldiers in mission editor?

Thanks

Use the addItem command to add the NVGs to the player character's inventory, then the assignItem command to equip them. For the weapon, use addMagazines followed by addWeapon (this order ensures that one of the magazines is loaded into the weapon) and then addPrimaryWeaponItem to equip attachments (addHandgunItem is for sidearms, so far just "muzzle_snds_l"). Note that if a desired weapon has a weapon+attachments combo with its own classname, you may use that instead with addWeapon, allowing you to omit addPrimaryWeaponItem or addHandgunItem (both the P07 and Rook-40 have already-suppressed classnames).

Yes, at least that's the schedule.

They're scripting commands. You can write them into the box in the unit's settings that reads "INITIALIZATION". Something you can copy-paste there:

[url=https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/removeAllWeapons]removeAllWeapons[/url] this;
this [url=https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addItem]addItem[/url] "NVGoggles";
this [url=https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/assignItem]assignItem[/url] "NVGoggles";
this [url=https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addMagazine]addMagazine[/url] "7Rnd_408_Mag";
this [url=https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addWeapon]addWeapon[/url] "srifle_LRR_f";
this [url=https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addMagazines]addMagazines[/url] ["7Rnd_408_Mag", 7];
this [url=https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addPrimaryWeaponItem]addPrimaryWeaponItem[/url] "optic_sos";

Please look at the editing board for classnames of other items. This thread probably belongs there in the first place.

To add on to what I said about "combo" classnames, there's a pre-made LRR+SOS combo with the classname "srifle_LRR_SOS_f", which can be used in place of "srifle_LRR_F" so that you can leave out the separate line for the scope. Also, you can just use addMagazines (before addWeapon) and enter the total number of magazines, and then one will automatically be loaded into the weapon, saving another line:

removeAllWeapons this;
this addItem "NVGoggles";
this assignItem "NVGoggles";
this addMagazines ["7Rnd_408_Mag", 8];
this addWeapon "srifle_LRR_SOS_f";

Regular divers have very little inventory space, though. Since if eight magazines is too much (I'm not sure if it is), you "lose" one compared to adding a single one that gets loaded beforehand, and then the rest. But simplicity is a fair point especially since I'm not sure.

Admittedly I'd be surprised to find out that a combat diver was able to swim with an anti-materiel rifle... but the OP can experiment with the Editor to find an appropriate number of magazines for whichever rifle is chosen for the player character.

has no body seen the equipment tab on the beta??? this will eliminate all needs of scripting loadouts......

[Tyl3r99 41]
