The generic code is like this:


So, to add a Light Soldier (in ram, I'll discuss plopping it ingame later) , you would logically have to do this:



However, this does not work because a Soldier is an AHuman. So you do this instead;



Does that mean to place him in game, all you have to do is this?


Not yet! We haven't given him any X Y co-ordinates yet! To do that, we write this:


This sets up a vector for X,Y positioning.

This will set the X and Y co-ordinates to somewhere in the sky, on the tutorial map, this places him in the little valley area with the crab.


Now to set the team.


Then we can do this:




Tadaah! You've just made an actor and placed him! You can repeat the last command to place a copy of him as many times as you want. I'll figure out other stuff later.

I'll try and get a gif of this in action if you want, but you have my guarantee, this works.

Oh you are cool.

These exact commands in this order, just to make it completely clear.


Anywho, pretty cool.

I wonder if there's any combination of commands that can add a certain device to the selected actor's inventory?

Or to pause and unpause the game, without exiting to the menu.

This command might work:


And then this one:


These commands must be done before spawning.

Apparently not, unless I did something wrong.


Hard to tell with the minuscule text.

myActor:AddInventoryItem("Pistol");


PS: Post threads like this in the lua section next time.

And how do I pause the game without the menu coming up, and how do I gib an actor/add to it's velocity?

To gib an actor, I think you'll have to do something like this:



Where the ID is the number of a unit: i think it's in order of spawning.

Then, you do this:


Where those two variables are the X and the Y speed in Metres Per Second.

To sum up, this code creates a new variable called myGibActor and assigns a living actor to it. Then the living actor's stuff can be edited.

Damn, we don't have lua on bunkermodules yet. Otherwise I'd be doing tons of stuff.
