OOB and Game Engine Variable Questions

Post by Hancock the Superb »

When I look at the SDK manual, I pay careful attention to the game engine variables. For OOBs, is there any way to set not only #name, but #name2 and #name3 as well? Unfortunately, OOB creaters cannot specify even #name2 for regiments. In addition, I see the #weapon and #weapon2, but how might I specify a second weapon. How would this weapon work in the game? I also see the #sellead1, #sellead2, and so on. What are these commands and how do they work? What does the #rank command do and how can I set it?

Thanks for your help.

Bump...hopefully it will get answered this time.

So to recap:
How could I set names 2 and 3 (especially for regiments) using the oob?
How can I set #weapon2 using the oob?
What does #sellead1,2,3 do?
What is the #rank command?

In addition, playing around with the tilde key:
How can I set the weather? I can put Weather=5, but that doesn't work. However, weather sets the weather equal to 0.

Thanks for your guys' help. I know the team is especially busy after the release of Antietam.

You cannot.
You cannot.
Nothing. It's a variable that stores the leader number.
It is no command, it is another variable.

The correct command is weather:5.
