  • where to stand
  • the target
  • how many times to use the weapon
  • whether to crouch when reloading [optional, default is true]
  • whether to hold fire when blocked [optional, default is true]
  • whether to automagically hit the target [for scripted forced kills; optional, default is false]
  • whether to prevent all damage [for scripted protracted fake combat; otpional, default is false]
  • where the target needs to stand [optional, default/NULL means "anywhere"]

Syntax

[help]
actor.UseWeapon weapontoUse:baseform whereToStand:ref target:ref numberOfShots:int crouchToReload:int holdFire:int alwaysHit:int doNoDamage:int targetShouldBeHere:int

Example

BuddyRef.UseWeapon  Pistol12  BuddyRef  HollyRef  5  0 0 0 0 XMarkerRef047

So Buddy would draw his pistol (or grab one if one was nearby), and from his own current location he would fire at HollyRef five times -- but only while she is near XMarkerRef047.
