Garrison/Occupy Weapons for Flak/Guardian/other infantry?

Sheliek · Civilian **Joined**: 04 Aug 2014

Call me a noob, because I am one.

How do I make it so that units besides the GI/Conscript will use their weapons when inside a garrisonable structure? I want the Flak Trooper to use Flak, and the Guardian GI to use his rocket launcher.

AFAIK they just use their primary weapon...

Fair enough! I haven't gotten to that part of the simple mod I'm making, but I recall it giving me an amount of trouble when I was 12, didn't wanna repeat the same mistakes. Will give that a go, thanks!

EDIT: Nope, they just use the machine gun weapon that the conscripts/GIs use.

EDIT2: Got it working for YR, notsomuch for RA2.

In RA2 the Primary= & Secondary= tags on the building that is being garrisoned are used.

In YR you can specify it per infantry with;

OccupyWeapon=
EliteOccupyWeapon=.

Another thing to note that occupy weapons should all be able to target the same thing and have the same range.

The Infantries in question should have CanOccupy & Occupier set to yes on them.

Ares lets you customize more of who can occupy by using the CanBeOccupiedBy= as without it the game defaults to any infantry can garrison that specific structure with the 2 tags mentioned above.
