Not able to throw grenade

[KDog35 0]

i searched, sorry..but i don't know what the problem is.

I play as captive with no weapons. I removed the M16 from a soldier and at the very beginning of the mission, and he get's shot. What I want to do is go to the dead soldier and take the grenades from him. I get no action menu ...?

What I also tried is addweaponcargo "handgrenade" to some barrels. Seems to be "OK" to do that and I can take them, but I can't throw them (can't reload either).

what I really need is to take "1" grenade from a dead soldier, how can that be done?

thanks

Do you have the problem with the normal Captive unit and the unit with "removeallweapons this"?

Weird problem, maybe caused by 1.96

[KDog35 0]

No, I'm using 1.91 for the moment.

yeah it's weird..i believe if I use another "captive" to get shot, them I pick up a grenade from him, i don't need to use "removeallweapons" do I? I already tried adding a grenade to a captive and don't see it.

The mission is being a prisoner within some fencing and finding a grenade...would be cool to add it to the barrels and being able to use it. ..like an easter egg hunt lol.

By reading your post, i remember having had a similar problem.

I've been using the HYK US army soldiers. As they are already

using JAM magazines, i thought to only remove their rifles and

add them BAS JAM rifles, using their original mags.

Shooting went fine, but i wasn't able to grab any magazines

from dead soldiers.

I didn't investigate that prob any deeper, until i've read about

your problem.

Try removing all weapons + readding everything and see if it

works then

When I added the 'INQ_HandGrenade" to a "HYK_USols" stock, I couldn't use it.

It required "INQ_throw".

Investigate what kind of ammo your using. It may require additional stuff.

darn, I just tried that, doesn't work  

My reason for using a older update and no addons is I'm playing with a good friend online, and trying to get him into it. He has no patience and don't want to bother him with addons; he just wants to play, so i need to make this work.

I have no hope to win this mission without a weapon' I just need "1" grenade and there's a chance.

hmmm  

...I'm not using ammo and don't start with any.

btw - try: addmagazinecargo "handgrenade", as it's the

right code to get it working

ahhhh, not working.

I tried magazine, weapon, and using ["handgrenade",1]

nothing's working.  

I'm using the Ia Drang Vietnam Island "full" pack. Where there problems with that??

that is the only addon I'm using.

Just try this exact code

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this addmagazine "handgrenade"

[Chris Death 0]

huh - just noticed a mixture here:

vehiclename addMagazineCargo ["handgrenade",1]

would be used to add it to objects/vehicles

while:

unit addMagazine "handgrenade"

would be used to add it to a unit.

As i was just copy/pasting your syntax to show you that

hangrenades belong to magazines and not to weapons, i

didn't take notice about the cargo_thingy.

lets see...

OFP needs a weapon+a magazine.. always, even with strokefist..

so if u first remove all weapons and then give it a handgrenade as mag then u cant trow it...

maybe this addweapon "trow" or this addweapon "handgrenade"

[KDog35 0]

this is too much!

Now I can't removeallweapons from a normal soldier. Is it:

this "removeallweapons"

nameofsoldier "removeallweapons"

which one is it??

now I'm doing it under the soldier's int: ..should i try a trigger??

[Chris Death 0]

It's: removeAllWeapons this

or: removeAllWeapons soldier

btw - i've tried some things now:

1) remove all weapons from a guy and give him only 1 hangrenade (using the correct method )

Then i killed him, and couldn't take the grenade from his

dead body

When displaying the weapons and magazines by a radio call,

it still showed me that he has a hangrenade

2) placed a red barrel +

this addMagazineCargo ["handgrenade",1]

No problem for me to go there and take the handgrenade +

throwing it onto the soldier i made in step 1)

thanks for all the help guys! I got it (finally)

I used ofpforum's idea where you need a weapon in order to use a weapon, including throwing a handgrenade.

note: also, if removeallweapons does not work for you, try eliminating each weapon and mag at a time.

If you want to create a defenseless soldier, but capable of using handgrenades, give him binoculars. Binocs are considered a weapon. Just add ... this addweapon "binocular" ..and you can pick up from either cargo or a dead soldier.

only problem is once throwing the grenade, your looking through the binoculars, but it's working now.

[Maddmatt 1]

Instead of using binoculars just type:

this addweapon "throw"

Then you can pick up and use handgrenades. Ammo in ofp cannot be used without a weapon to fire it, even hand grenades.

[NeMeSiS 11]

mhm, i told him exaclty the same... but didnt didnt repley on my idea for "trow"

[Chris Death 0]

hmm - i fear that's not all true, being said here:

If i removeAllWeapons myguy, and addMagazine "handgrenade",

i can use it.

If i do not change anything related to weapons on an ai unit,

and if i removed all weapons for me, i can use the grenades

from the dead ai.

If i removeallweapons from the ai, and only add him a handgrenade,

i can't use his grenades

If i only addMagazineCargo a handgrenade to a barrel,

i can use it

and btw:

Quote[/b] ]note: also, if removeallweapons does not work for you, try eliminating each weapon and mag at a time.

:note - if removeAllweapons does not work for you,

then you've done something wrong - no need to remove 'em

seperately then
