Is there a way to make units and upgrades insignificant? so that they're completion/death isn't reported by EVA?

Because i've done the 2 command set switch thing, but every time i switch commandsets, i get the upgrade complete EVA event (the little green triangle on the mini map, and the message at the top of the screen). And a unit death EVA event (because the drone blows up). So i was just wondering if there was a way to disable these EVA events, but only for these upgrades/units.

um, don't call on them in the ini's?

take a look at the ranger switch to flashbang/machine gun

all that the ranger switch does is a commandbutton that basically allows it to use the secondary weapon instead of the primary.

There's no upgrade going on there

CommandButton Command_AmericaRangerSwitchToMachineGun
Command = SWITCH_WEAPON
WeaponSlot = PRIMARY
Options = CHECK_LIKE OK_FOR_MULTI_SELECT
TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:RangerMachineGun
ButtonImage = SSMachineGun
ButtonBorderType = ACTION
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipSwitchToRangerMachineGun
End

CommandButton Command_AmericaRangerSwitchToFlagBangGrenades
Command = SWITCH_WEAPON
WeaponSlot = SECONDARY
Options = CHECK_LIKE OK_FOR_MULTI_SELECT NEED_UPGRADE
Upgrade = Upgrade_AmericaRangerFlashBangGrenade
TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:FlashBangGrenadeMode
ButtonImage = SSFlashbang
ButtonBorderType = ACTION
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipSwitchToUSAFlashBang
End

no shit, and it doen't make an eva event out of it either.

look in the upgrade.ini

see that stuff about displayname and researchsound?

that might have something to do with it.

I was trying to get you thinking!

Ok, tebrey, the reason there's no EVA event is because it's not an upgrade.

Just like when you use Jarmen Kell's pilot killing sniper rifle

Command = SWITCH_WEAPON

compared to

Command = OBJECT_UPGRADE

One of them just switches weapon slots, while the other one calls an upgrade. The upgrade itself is what does the EVA event. And if you don't give a label to the upgrade or give it a value of NONE it will say "Missing:"

If you don't declare a sound, it just uses the Default EVA "upgrade completed" sound. And even if you could disable the sound and the label, the minimap event is still there.
