Hi.If you want to make a sp mission/map and want the AI to have unusual weapons for example the mutant having a flamethrower for its attack instead of its boring melee attack read more about this tutorial.
1.First open RED and make a room of any size 20x20x20 is okay though
2.Then put in some nav points.These are located in the objects mode of RED.Press shift+O to quickly acces em.
3.After putting the nav points put in a AI of any choice.For this one we,ll be using mutant 1 wich is located in creatures folder.This is located in the objects mode of RED.
4.Select mutant 1 then press ctrl+p then look at its properties that says weapon.Now type in flamethrower in the weapons box.
5.Save,create level packfile and test.If it doesnt work check any AI that can use the weapon to check the name of the weapon.
NOTE
In RED weapons are spelled differently.Example,Rail Gun is spelled rail_gun.You CANNOT type the weapon anyway you like like maybe you typed assaultrifle but the correct way is Assault Rifle.To know how each weapons is spelled open any AI[miner 1 and any merc groups should do it because they have a lot of weapons selections] look at the properties and then look at the weapons selection box,and then copy it and paste it in the other AI weapon box correctly.Some weapons wont work with some AI like fish and bats cant have any weapons no matter how you type it.This could only be done by modding the table files.
This tutorial was made for sp mappers who wanted something different without modding stuff.
omg man good Tutorial this is going to help out with my Skinning when i come to the renders i can get it to have a cool weapon now instead of one of its defaults
i always have edited the table files to get them to do this for renders or for SP mods cheers Predalienator

There's a new tips topic started by L4YInfernus, why don't you copy & paste this over there. That way only one topic would need to be stickied instead of two.
