Kit Type

The Kit object type is created by ObjectTemplate.Create.

The Kit type is what the BattleField engine uses to create a class or soldier type that you will play during the game. The kit defines the soldier type as well as what weapons will be displayed in the weapon selector. You can create as many kits as you like, since each level picks what kits are used and what order they appear in the menu.

Kits are placed in the Objects/Items/[Team]Kit/[Class] hierarchy.

Used in a total of 90 .con files: Objects.con
