Ok I just got back to work on a old mod of mine and was about to give it out as a beta but as I was testing it I saw that artillery was not working the way it should. I found why it was not working right but now I need some help fixing it. You see I added more ranks and you still get artillery on rank 4 but when you move up to rank 5, 6, 7, 8, ect you don't get artillery no more. here is the code

giveBinoculars(spawnweapon)
{
	binoctype = "binoculars_mp";
	
	self takeWeapon("binoculars_mp");
	self takeWeapon("binoculars_artillery_mp");
	
	// if they are highest rank then they get the artillery strike binoculars
	if ( self.pers["rank"] == 4 && level.allow_artillery)
	{
		
		if(self.pers["team"] == "allies")
		{
			switch(game["allies"])		
			{
			case "american":
				binoctype = "binoculars_artillery_mp";
				break;
	
			case "british":
				binoctype = "binoculars_artillery_mp";
				break;
	
			case "russian":
				binoctype = "binoculars_artillery_mp";
				break;
			}
		}
		else if(self.pers["team"] == "axis")
		{
			switch(game["axis"])
			{
			case "german":
				binoctype = "binoculars_artillery_mp";
				break;
			}			
		}

See the line if ( self.pers["rank"] == 4 && level.allow_artillery) I like to make that so it would give artillery for rank 4 and up but how ?

just a wild guess as im not scripting wonder ... replace 4 with >3 and everything greater than 3 (meaning 4 and upward) gets it?


but again i have no clue on scripting hahahahaha

i only started scripting not long ago but maybe try this..

if ( self.pers["rank"] == 4,5,6,7,8 && level.allow_artillery)

dunno if it will work but try it ^^

Oh here a link to see a pic of the code so you can see the lines better then how the forum puts the code. click here

Have a look inside This Mod.

It might be some help!

I looked at it and the code for the _rank_gmi.gsc has nothing that I am looking for. You see the game has 5 ranks and the 5th rank is the 40 points rank that gives you artillery. Well I made 5 new ranks to be added with the other ranks and I tested them and they all work as well. The problem is that you get artillery for the 40 point rank but after you move up to one of the new ranks you don't get artillery anymore. I found the reason why that is but i don't know how to fix it. The problem is that artillery in the _rank_gmi.gsc file are only set for rank 5 and I need to know how to set it so that people will get artillery for rank 5 and up.

try something like:

if ( self.pers["rank"] >3 )
self.level.allow_artillery

not tested - but it should work

Ok sorry for the late late reply but I have not been well and am only getting better now plus this is my last year in school so I been busy trying to pass it.

StrYdeR the code you gave me did not work but I got what I wanted any way so now I will be nice and give out what I did so other who are trying to do something like what I am doing can

I changed the code

if ( self.pers["rank"] == 4 && level.allow_artillery)

to

if ( self.pers["rank"] > 3 == level.allow_artillery)

and now I can get artillery for rank 4 and up.
