Give AI Weapons

[Pl4t0 10]

I'm fairly new to scripting, and so I was wondering, if I wanted to force infantry units to spawn with different weapons than they normally would spawn with, what would I need to do?

This has been asked countless times since OFP has been released in 2001.

addWeapon

addMagazine

Here is an example of dif weps for a USMC (vanilla) Corpsman. The 'code' can be placed in the units 'Initialization' box (through the editor).

removeAllWeapons this;

this addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag";
this addWeapon "M16A4";

this addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag";
this addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag";
this addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag";
this addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag";
this addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag";
this addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag";

this addMagazine "HandGrenade_West";

this addMagazine "7Rnd_45ACP_1911";
this addWeapon "Colt1911";

this addMagazine "7Rnd_45ACP_1911";
this addMagazine "7Rnd_45ACP_1911";
this addMagazine "7Rnd_45ACP_1911";

this addWeapon "NVGoggles";

this addWeapon "ItemGPS";

Notice that a magazine is placed before a weapon. This will allow the unit weapon to spawn loaded.

Review the forum stickies for tons of info on this and other things. Search, too, for instance, on... removeAllWeapons this.

Have a good one! :)

EDIT: Heh. Yeah, what he ^ said. ;)

You can also use forEach to add items (e.g. magazines) as follows:

{this addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag"} forEach [1,2,3,4,5]; {this addMagazine "7Rnd_45ACP_1911"} forEach {1,2,3];

Just tidies things up a bit in the init box, is all.

I know it was just a typo. :) - Change this:

{this addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag"} forEach [1,2,3,4,5]; {this addMagazine "7Rnd_45ACP_1911"} forEach {1,2,3];

to this:

{this addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag"} forEach [1,2,3,4,5]; {this addMagazine "7Rnd_45ACP_1911"} forEach [color="Red"][[/color]1,2,3];

For the above Corpsman, it would be:

removeAllWeapons this;

{this addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag"} forEach [1,2,3,4,5,6,7];
{this addMagazine "15Rnd_9x19_M9"} forEach [1,2,3,4];

this addMagazine "HandGrenade_West";

this addWeapon "M16A4";
this addWeapon "M9";

this addWeapon "NVGoggles";

if you changed the pistol to an M9.

Sry for the noob question but, where can i see the list of equipment names that is used in the editor?

[This kid 1]

Redcoalition: Classnames for all units and weapons are found in this thread. :)

CyOp and SwiftyBoy: Thank you for the information on the "forEach" command. Didn't know about that one. Will certainly clear up some of my initialization lines... Thanks!
