Adding a MEDIKIT or TOOLKIT to backpack

Now this is just plain frustrating. The only documentation I can find is based on lame ass INIT code and not config based code. Nothing seems logical about scripting when It comes to a simple wish: Add a medikit or toolbox to a given loadout.

So here are my 2 configs. Soldier and Backpack. I am unsure what command to use and where to place it. AddItemToBackpack???? Item? Items? WTF???

....Calm down. :)

Here is my soldier 1 config. Ive tried placing it in items and linked items with no luck. Why is the medikit different to other items?

enum {
   destructengine = 2,
   destructdefault = 6,
   destructwreck = 7,

   stabilizedinaxesxyz = 4,
   stabilizedinaxisy = 2,

Summary: how are medikits and toolkits added to a backpack?

Zeo

You have to create a new backpack

class base_backpack_class;

class new_backpack : base_backpack_class {

	class TransportItems {

		class _xx_medikit {
			name = "medikit";
			count = 1;
		};

		class _xx_toolkit {
			name = "toolkit";
			count = 1;
		};
	};
};

then for your soldier, you have to have backpack = "new_backpack";

obviously, for the backpacks I just used general made up names

but, based on what I see from your config...

Take note that this creates new items, so you'll see them in VAS.

Thanks for your time man. I used the last config (medikit) you show above with the following error log..

Thanks for your time man. I used the last config (medikit) you show above with the following error log..

Think I forgot a closed squiggly...

class Gen_tacops_D_medikit : Gen_tacops_D {

	class TransportItems {

		class _xx_medikit {
			name = "medikit";
			count = 1;
		};
	};

}; 

class Gen_tacops_D_medikit : Gen_tacops_D {

	class TransportItems {

		class _xx_medikit {
			name = "medikit";
			count = 1;
		};
	};
       [color="#FF0000"][b]};[/b][/color]
}; 

Not easy for me to do this at work without my configs and Notepad++.

The close in red closes the open in the first line. Next one up closes TransportItems. The one up after that closes the _xx_medikit. Should work. You'll have to do the same for the toolkit selection as well.

Whenever you see errors, always scour your config and make sure every open has a close with it, because for me that represents the majority of my pbo pack failures.

Well it works without error...but that still does not provide a medikit in the ruck....it's empty.

Is it the fact that my player isn't a medic class? Not sure how that works. But my point is, what's the use of carrying a medikit if I cant use it as e medic :) How can I make my player a medic?

Zeo

How can I make my player a medic?

Try adding attendant = 1; to your unit.

I forgot that once you create Gen_tacops_D_medikit that you need to assign that to your soldier. Actually, I mentioned it in my first post, but didn't add it once I started filling out your config. Your line should be backpack = "Gen_tacops_D_medikit";

OK all working. Here is my config. I needed to add reference to the classname so it would work. But thanks guys. Also, is there are a hand list of all ICONMAN icons? And can I force a rank from the config below? They seem to be all team leaders. Anyway great help as usual. Thank you.

Try changing B_Soldier_base_F & B_Soldier_F to B_medic_F to make him a combat life saver with proper symbology.
