Defining different weapon as default

[killerwhale 1]

Hi, is it possible to edit BIS soldier models to equip them with different gun? or you will have to model a soldier first then the gun you want

Well of course you can equip guns... or havent you played the game?

I think PuFu was confused by your question, as am I. It's in the O2 modelling thread topic. Simply equip different weapons ingame? I'd have to ask the same question as Fennek

i understand you can do that in the editor but you'll have to place a code in the init field or use the box containing the guns. i want the soldier to have it as his default weapon and the only way to do that i guess is to model a unit a gun of your own

you seem to be confused by your own question...I don't have an answer because you're question has no meaning.

Wrong! How did you come to that conclusion?

You can create your own config for your own units, name them as you please, equip them as you please, pack it as an addon, but all that has nothing to do with modelling.

You can also create a script executed at the start of your missing and equip them as you wantl without the need to write code in each init field.

Why does everyone want to flame you, PuFu? All you want to do is help. JeezUS!

To create a new unit (based on a existing unit) you just need a config which inherits from the desired existing unit and redefine it's initial loadout.

Thread renamed and moved to the correct section.

nice one

[killerwhale 1]

it sounds simpler than i thought but still too completed for me. would any one care to make a video about it or write instructions

[x3kj 1247]

Oh come on, you havent even tried.

And there is a perfectly fine sample that comes with the A3 Tool Package... found in /Sample_F/Test_Character_01/config.hpp

very nice information Fennek:yay:, now it will be through trials and errors before i get it working. that is if im lucky

Make a config overview for the above mentioned config dump mission in the editor; cfgVehicles for infantry or vehicles, cfgWeapons for weapons (or make subsets like CAManBase, AllVehicles, Tank, Cars, etc); for sounds cfgAmmo and cfgMagazines are also relevant and a few other specific classes for UI or terrain sounds

i dont get this line

Thanks big time by the way

Help please, the part i have in red is the part i want to change. I want the soldier's default weapon to be M16A2 rifle that i downloaded. i don't know how to go about this. i understand "test_weapon_01" is in the weapon sample and im working on the character sample, how do i link the test_weapon to the character im about to create
