Hi, I previously made a throwable satchel-charge (a kind of anti-tank charge which explodes on impact) BUT it will not work in multiplayer all - it simply does not show in the weapon menu. This has been tested severly and I must conclude it is a bug. Can BIS confirm this and perhaps fix it in the future by enabling custom throw-weapons for multiplayer?

Heya,

I had this problem with the custom grenades and C4 charges in the SEB Delta Forces addon. The only way I could get it to work in MP was to remove all the weapons off each unit then re-add them at the start of a mission.

(take a look at Gimbal's Tossers as well.)

Same problem here. In my experience, I could use the custom grenades if I was not the unit leader. Very strange eh?

So I guess for now the best thing to do is to use a script to remove the grenades and add them again at mission start.

Probaly seems to be to do the new "Throw" weapon. I really think BIS should take a look on it, had done a swedish grenade. Nothing special but for the feeling, worked nice in SP but in MP it is like the game removes the throw weapon and adds it's own throw..

found/had the same problem.

my solution:

[p1,p2,p3] exec "FixCustomThrowPut.sqs"

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_list=_this

_index=0
#DoFix

_unit=_list select _index

&#34;if &#40;&#33;&#40;_unit hasweapon _x&#41;&#41; then {_unit addweapon _x}&#34; foreach &#91;&#34;OPEF_Throw&#34;,&#34;OPEF_Put&#34;,&#34;OPEF_BandageCarry&#34;,&#34;OPEF_PdaCarry&#34;&#93;

_index=_index+1
?_index&#60;count _list&#58;goto &#34;DoFix&#34;[/QUOTE]

thank you for inspiring me. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

There seems to be a bug that causes any addon ammo to be removed in MP if you don&#39;t have a weapon that *takes up a slot* for it. It will be there in the briefing but once you start the game, it&#39;s gone..

the solution for this you can find in my upper post. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif

just the names of the weapons must be fixed for different requirements. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

is it possible to use the init EH to launch the script?
or that loaded before ofp screws it up?
