changing weapons

[pete10 0]

hi not sure if i have the correct thread here, but here goes.

trying to create my first few missions.

is there a way i can edit/change the weapons my soldiers are carrying? a new weapon i have imported in for example? or give a marine rifleman an AK? do i do this in the map editor? how?

also. how do i set up support units - such as artillery or a helo to come pick my team up?

cheers.

These commands are your answer:

First, http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/removeAllWeapons

Then, http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addMagazine

Then, http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addWeapon

Lastly, http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/selectWeapon

This list of weapons and their magazines is most helpful:

A marine's init box would look like this when you give him an AK and 4 magazines (after removing his normal gear).

removeAllWeapons this; this addMagazine "30Rnd_762x39_AK47"; this addMagazine "30Rnd_762x39_AK47"; this addMagazine "30Rnd_762x39_AK47"; this addMagazine "30Rnd_762x39_AK47"; this addWeapon "AK_47_M"; this selectWeapon "AK_47_M"

Can't help you with support units.
