Major Fubar 0 Posted October 14, 2003 Just a quick one: Is there any way to replace units in the mission editor, once they have been placed, with a unit from a different side? For example, I have placed a Resistance sniper in a tower, but I want to change the unit to an East machinegunner. Is this at all possible? I know I can always fiddle with the mission.sqm and assign the sniper to East, but I want a physically different unit. The reason I ask is I have dePBOd some missions in which I want to swap out some units for those from another side. These units have a shitload of waypoints, triggers etc. attached to them so I don't wanna have to delete them and then have to redo all the other stuff. Any ideas? Can I can modify in a mission file or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ex-RoNiN 0 Posted October 14, 2003 AFAIK, you can't change them in the editor. What you could do, however, is check for their complete name in their pbo, then go into the mission sqm, find the appropriate unit and substitute side and unit model for it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Death 0 Posted October 14, 2003 Maybe this helps; let's say you have a 12men western squad with alot of waypoints (i said 12men squad just to show you the worst case). delete one of these 12 guys create an east unit now add this east unit to the 11men western group by dragin da line (ya know: F2 + drag) Now you can delete the remaining 11 and voilla you have replaced a west group by an east unit. Off course you can add now 11 more commies to that group. ~S~ CD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tobi-Wan Kenobi 0 Posted October 22, 2003 The mission.sqm would be the best way of doing it. Find the unit you want to change and change the side from, eg west to east. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skul 0 Posted October 23, 2003 Don't forget that there is a list of the unit codes in a sticky at the top of this forum (which you yourself created, Fubar ). You can check that if you're not sure about the soldier's names. [Gareth Gates must die] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
