I am very new to this game but i played the demo for a month so i know a little but not much. I want to start out easy i want to spawn a us pilot with a m16. Now this m16 is the kind that has no attachments no scope no laser no nothing how do i do this? Any help would be nice:)

_pilot = "USMC_Soldier_Pilot" createVehicle getpos player; 
removeAllWeapons _pilot;  
_pilot addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag"; 
_pilot addWeapon "M16A2"; 
_pilot selectWeapon "M16A2";

That'll make the pilot, take away his weapons, give him a single magazine for an M16, give him the M16A2 (iron sights only) then make him wield it.

You could also do this:

"USMC_Soldier_Pilot" createUnit [getpos player, group player,"removeAllWeapons this;  this addMagazine ""30Rnd_556x45_Stanag""; this addWeapon ""M16A2""; this selectWeapon ""M16A2"";", 0.6, "corporal"]

That'll do the same thing, but group the pilot with your player.

where do i put in initaialzation? i told you im new plz step by step

[kylania 568]

Well, to be honest if you're new, just place a Pilot in the Editor and put this in it's init field:

removeAllWeapons this;  this addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag"; this addWeapon "M16A2";

What exactly are you trying to do? If I had more information about what this pilot is and what he's going to be doing I could give you more specific information about how to get your idea in game.

well i was using the pilot as a example im ganna use a rifle man or something. the reason i said pilot was not to confuse people "oh he already has a m16" yea but it has a scope lol. oh can i copy and paste or do i need a pin and pad (;

Yes, you can copy and paste from the forums into game. Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V per normal.

You need to use the CLASSNAMES for all of that. You can find them here: http://www.armatechsquad.com/ArmA2BuilldingClass/

what about ammo

but thnx for this list im in heaven omfg im so happy

[kylania 568]

If you follow the link i gave you, and click on Weapons, then click on a Rifle it'll give you details about it. The ammo it uses is listed on the bottom of the detail page.

Like the M24 (Class name M24) uses 5Rnd_762x51_M24 while the M16A2 M203 (Class name M16A2GL) uses 30Rnd_556x45_Stanag.

Or you could use the stickied thread in this forum, as has been said in every thread this question has come up. Check out Placebo's sticky for details.
