How to retrieve the javelin missile

[Hymes 0]

Hello

I have asked this question before.  I have received a disrespectful response from the members on this and other forms. Can someone with a mind of a DI. Tail me step by step. How do I go about installing the Javelin Missile System into the weapons creates? I see the Javelin should be part of the weapons inventory. Per BI weapons lineup. Again I ask. Can someone explain to me in detail. The way I would go about activating the Javelin Missile system in ArmA.

                                               Thanks. 10th Cavalry

That didn't help me. I’m not looking for a general item. Where is the location of the section that the person is talking about? Where am I placing the script? How would the script be written for the Javelin? I'm a beginner. I can't remember how to edit the script. OFP was along time ago for me.

The problem is that is has slightly changed in ArmA, so if you do it like in OFP it will not work exactly that way.

Edit:

It should be: "this addWeaponCargo["Javelin",2]" add`s 2 Javelin to Ammobox.

"This addMagazineCargo["Javelin",10]" will add 10 Ammo to the box.

Write it in the initfield of the ammobox when you placed it with the editor.

But don't expect AI to behave properly regarding Javelins A Javelin unit will never reload unless he has two rockets in his inventory. And I haven't been able to script it yet, but I'm sure it can be done, somehow. I'm able to make him have a rocket in his inventory, I just can't make him reload the damned weapon.

I'm going maaaaad about this

I hope that the AI reloading, and AI searching for ammo will be better in ArmA 2.

If you don`t tell the AI to pick up ammo, they will not do it, at least not for secondary AA or AT weapons.

OK have that. Now where dose it go? Where about do I put the script? Plese step by step. Sorry for asking so many question.

Good point Mr_Tea. I'm not sure how the M136 or RPG-7 operates in real life, but all soldiers are here tought in basic understanding and operations of the M72. I'm sure if the carrier were incapacitated, another unit would assume responsibility of the weapon, even without being told.

Same goes for ammobearing and assistant gunners etc. They *know* their duties, while in ArmA we have to tell them, and even then it's not sure it will work.

I hope too, that Arma2 will improve on this.

OK. No one has answered my question. The link didn't help at all. So again I'm let asking the same question. How do I locate & active the Javelin Missile system in ArmA.

Don`t be afraid to use the editor.

Many things are much easier to do than you may think.
