Summoning a medic citizen but with the medic uniform?

[Ionium]

Hello, I'm trying to summon a medic citizen but have him / her have the medic uniform, I think its cool. Anyways here's what I have:

npc_create_equipment weapon_rpg;wait; npc_create npc_citizen;wait; ent_fire npc_citizen setmedicon

I can't figure out what command to put in there to give the citizen a medic skin. Any help? :E

 

[crazyelmo]

I'm pretty sure thats impossible, the 'ent_fire npc_citizen skin #' command doesn't work. Hope someone proves me wrong though.

If it were to work, what would I replace "#" with?

I tried numbers 1 to 25 on citizens, if you use the command on barrels it changes their skin.

Hmm there must be a way to change citizen skins...

Your code is flawed as it will set all unnamed citizens to medics
I think this would do the job better (not entirly sure)

npc_create_equipment weapon_XXX;wait; npc_create npc_citizen medics;wait; ent_fire medics setmedicon

or

npc_create_equipment weapon_XXX;wait; npc_create npc_citizen;wait; ent_fire !picker setmedicon


I don't think it is possible to change a citizen's or soldier's skin in-game (you can do it to antlions though)

 

[Ionium]

Well that really sucks that you cant change skins. There must be a way though I refuse to give up.

 

[ríomhaire]

Well, in Garry's mod you can select from the 3 groups of skins. I tried poking around the Gmod files earlier to see if it's possible to add medic but with no luck.

 

[Ionium]

well one thing I did notice is if you have medic citizens following you and if you run into a loading screen, their uniforms change to medic ones. I wonder if there's a way to force that.

 

[ríomhaire]

Now that you mention that. I've heard that if you make someone a medic, go off to a random corner of the map, far away from them and then return their skin will have changed to a medic.

Hmm I wonder if there's a way to make them do that only without having to go off to a far corner.

 

[Azner]

well, running into a far corner will take much less time than typing and brainstorming lots of codes...

Haha that's why you bind the code to a key :rolling:

 

[Azner]

Oh, you want to spawn many soldiers at once. Makes Shens now.

i cant seem to bind my impulse 101 with V btw

Ex

bind v impulse 101 doesnt work it says bind, attach a command to a key

Might try opening the config file and doing it that way?

You need to put quotes around it.
bind v "impulse 101"
