chris330 0 Posted April 20, 2005 Dear All, I did a search on this and was surprised to find no-one had really asked the question so directly before. I want a unit to reload his weapon for a flare script I am making. I have no problem getting the flares to fire and the unit reloads his weapon automatically when I add a magazine via his init line. BUT... After he has fired one flare I use a radio command to add another flare to him but he doesn't reload the flare therefore cannot fire anymore flares Is it possible to get him to reload his flares via the action command? Or is there another way to get a unit to reload his weapon after the mission has begun? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a list on this page with all the available actions in the engine. But most of them need arguments and It's hard to find the correct syntax. I already tried : unitname action ["load magazine"] unitname action ["loadmagazine"]  unitname action ["load magazine", (magazines unitname (select 0))] unitname action ["load magazine", primaryweapon unitname] ...and a lot more... None of these work. And executing the switchmove reload-animations doesn't make him reload either  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris330 0 Posted April 20, 2005 Hi Blanco The problem is the unit reloads his weapon when I add a magazine via his init line but not when I add a magazine later through a script or radio trigger I will try again tonight and se if it works Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blanco 0 Posted April 20, 2005 ah, OK I couldn't see the difference between putting the code in an init and a radiotrigger. Euh.. Sure you don't use this in the radiotrigger? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hardrock 1 Posted April 20, 2005 Why not add a bunch of magazines and setting autoReload to false in the CfgWeapons? Each magazine should contain count=1 so only one flare is fired (or how many you want), then you'll have to reload. Of course AI will do that automaticly, but that's no problem is it?
