I'm trying to edit some settings so that the server is a bit more primitive (no guns) so I'd like to find a way to equip bows on the scientist instead of their usual loadout.

It's a bit boring without them and a little overwhelming when they have guns on a primitive server. Any help is appreciated.

1/ scientist is BasePlayer
2/ get their inventory
3/ remove all
4/ add crossbow

Actually if you just block all guns then scientists will have none as well

I use BotSpawn plugin, which seems to work fine for bot/murderer load outs, loot dropping, weapons etc and at other locations, I use HumanNPC, though HumanNPC takes a while to set up on a freshly wiped server because you have to physically go to the location you need to spawn the npc in. I do find it funny though when new players arrive on the server and try talking to my HumanNPC behind the counter at Oxums etc.
