Adding a weapon to an existing unit?
Hi all
i have created a unit that uses a sword as primary weapon, but i wish to change this and use a pistol as the primary weapon and then the sword as melee weapon?
Can anyone help me on which entries i need to use/change in units_stat_land and i understand that i may have to create a new file warscape_equipment_table?
Please keep this as a "noob" type response as i have never done this type of adjustments before!!

Right well first things first, you will need to use the personality officer animation, otherwise you get masses of crashes and bugs...
second of all open warscape equipment themes
create a new row in your own table and call it whatever you want, say "x_pistol_sword"
in column primary weapon put "pistol" and in secondary your other chosen weapon, search thorugh the vannilla table until you find one you like the sound of...
You can then choose flagpoles and instruments backpacks etc...
Now go back to your unit_stats and change the warscape equipment theme, to whatever you called your entry.
Now you should be done...

Thanks mate, do i not need to add the entries of "pistol" in the "Unknown" column next to Gun ID Ref, and do i add "pistol" to Projectile ID Ref?? i would assume i need to add ammo and accuracy as well??Originally Posted by DoomBunny666

Yes all of what you said is needed otherwise he will simply carry the pistol but never use it...

Thanks mate I will give a test and let you know how I get on. Just remembered do I need to change the entry next to the warscape animated table in units stats land as the entry there is man sword slash??

change it to "personality_officer" the unit will now march with swords out and when they fire will pull out the pistols in the same way the officer does

Im not sure if there is a weapon called sword, check in the vannilla warscape table and see what other sword armed units have...

Re: Adding a weapon to an existing unit?
I dont think there is a way around it, you can make them stop it by having the unit move immediatley after firing, that way they dont do any anims at all but still reload, other than that we need a new anim...
