#

How does it called? AKA how did you call it?

copper vapor
#

i made it a function

#

then call it in the init eh in the config

wintry tartan
#

Show me the config

copper vapor
#

i had an idea

#

this is a lot to ask, but is there any chance you could edit this to be about vests instead?

wintry tartan
#

About vests what?

copper vapor
#

the code is the code that randomizes headgear, there is lots of terms and things that are specifically headgear, would you be able to change those terms to ones about vests and uniforms? then there would be two scripts, one that randomizes uniforms and one that randomizes vests

wintry tartan
#

Yes you can of course, use addVest

copper vapor
#

theres some other things refering to heagrear

#

one sec

copper vapor
#

this is what i did

#

and i call it with

           {
                init = "if (local (_this select 0)) then {[(_this select 0), [], []] call BIS_fnc_unitvest;};";
           };
          
       };```
#

i have random headgear above so ignore that stuff isnt defined

#

anyway my problem is ingame when i test the script it = false

#

any idea how to fix?

copper vapor
#

@wintry tartan 👀

wintry tartan
#

Are you sure that it is BIS_fnc_unitVest?

copper vapor
#

when i run the code, it just equals false

#

@wintry tartan would "head" need to be something like chest or body?

wintry tartan
#

What?

copper vapor
wintry tartan
#

Your question doesn't make any sense to me

copper vapor
#

see where it says head?

wintry tartan
#

Yes but why it does matter to make a randomized soldier?

copper vapor
#

but do u have an idea on whats wrong with the code?

wintry tartan
#

What code?

copper vapor
wintry tartan
#

You'll need to explain further

copper vapor
#

can you see any issues in the code?

wintry tartan
#

Depends

# 
class vest
{
    init = "if (local (_this select 0)) then {[(_this select 0), [], []] call SAM_fnc_unitvest;};";
};```
1. Is this the code that runs the script?
2. Are you sure it only returns false?
copper vapor
#

yes to both

wintry tartan
#

How did you confirm it returns false?

copper vapor
#

wait one sec

copper vapor
#

i ran the script

wintry tartan
#

Ran the script how/what?

copper vapor
#

one sec

#

this

wintry tartan
#

Of course it will return false, you didn't pass anything into the script

copper vapor
#

but even if i load the game normally it dont work

#

like if i try to run the script how its intended

#

by starting the game and letting the config call it

Trying to fix a problem with the RHS BRDM.
When you sit ontop on the BRDM AI is not shooting at you, so you can just sit there and shoot them and they do nothing.

Is there any way to disable/remove the seats on-top of the BRDM via a config edit? 🤔

The texture maps are defined in the rvmat (material) files.

You have source files and permission to edit them?

# untold wyvern Trying to fix a problem with the RHS BRDM. When you sit ontop on the BRDM AI is ...

continuing on that: the built-in solution works with rhs_fnc_lockTop function. [veh, true] cll rhs_fnc_lockTop lockCargos every seat devs marked as on-top.
For the config edit: you sure can remove/disable the related turret configs in (configOf veh) >> >> "Turrets" >> "CargoTurret_*" (i.e. by inheriting the vehicle class and using the https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Class_Inheritance#delete)
P.S. whatever i've said seems to only be true for the BTRs, not BRDM. BRDMs don't seem to have the list of on-top gunner positions created by devs. Config edit path still stands, or you can replicate the BTR function with {veh lockCargo [_x, true]} forEach [2,3,4,5,6,7]

        vehicleClass = "AeoGCars";
        maximumLoad = 3600;
        maxSpeed = 100;
        enginePower = 350;

            delete CargoTurret_05;
            delete CargoTurret_06;

although that's already way out of my depth

#

main thing about turrets is that the inheritance chain has to be correct to be able to edit them

ashen chasm
#

how deep though? All the way to Default or whatever is the base-est of classes?

also, wouldn't just dumping the actual resulting config, editing it and explicitly listing the needed parts be easier at this point?

having trouble getting the post Jets sensor system into some old helicopters my unit uses. I tried shoving the example on the wiki in just to see how it worked, it should have an active radar, but I cant turn it on in game

#

it should inherit Components from the base, and I have already initialized the sensor template

        class Components : Components

are the ones I want to change

the list of textures

but yes

thank you 😅

#

ok thats not the format i was hoping for

#

is there any way to make the sound play upon impact of a gl round be an ogg file or similar

#

you probably want the hitsound or whatever its called instead of the "effect type"

#

as in how the sound is played

ebon pivot
#

errrr

#

probably

ebon pivot
#

it is hitsound

#

however idk how to change because no config dumpy

hearty sandal
#

well you should be able to find a hitsound = someSound and then look up class someSound

ebon pivot
#

they all have stuff like hitArmor[] etc

hearty sandal
#

yeh thats for hitting different types of things

#

things sound different

ebon pivot
#

but would hitSound overwrite them all?

#

or would i have to redefine all of them

well you can copy paste the original and change the ones you want

Hello,

I have a mod that adds an AT4 (anti-tank ammunition) in launcher slot on arma.

But I have a problem, it doesn't fit in a backpack, it's not a problem of mass or space in the bag. I know it's possible because RHS made an AT4 that fits in a bag.

I tried to add an allowedSlots[]={901}; to the AT4 config to "allow" it in the bags but it didn't change anything.

I have to admit that I'm out of ideas so that's why I'm coming here to see if anyone has a solution.

Thanks in advance.

shy knot
#

Not where it can go into

#

So, by placing allowedSlots[]={901}; you’ve essentially told the game, this can go into the backpack slot and the player can wear it. But, it’s a rocket launcher. If you inherit off the base game launcher(s), you’ll be fine

Greetings,
I'm trying to create a UAV version of MK30 HMG Raised from the base game. But problem is, I'm a bit lost on exactly how I should go about inheriting from the turret config to be able to modify certain parameters.

molten musk
agile sequoia
wheat sluice
#

I would suggest taking a look at how BI themselves do it. Look for the HMG_01_A_base_F classname from the config.cpp in static_f.pbo (or just the static_f folder if you've unpacked everything to your P: drive).

#

Make your own custom class based on that but have it inherit from HMG_01_high_base_F instead of HMG_01_base_F.

#

Then add the faction-specific variants of your new Raised Mk30A as needed.

#

Just keep in mind that the raised Mk30 model (hmg_01_high_f.p3d) doesn't have the sentry/camera pod thing as part of its model so you will need to find a suitable replacement for the uavCameraGunnerPos/uavCameraGunnerDir memory points.

agile sequoia
#

One other problem I keep running into is, whenever trying to rap the config I find missing files error, even though the files are present.

I'm using Mikero's tools, Eliteness

#

example 1:
editorPreview = "\A3\EditorPreviews_F\Data\CfgVehicles\B_HMG_01_high_F.jpg";

Above, it's referencing a file already found in one of the game's addons. Well, that's a problem.

And in other instances, even if the file or directory is present inside the config folder, same error. For example, I've unpacked stratis world scenes and tried modifying, but upon packing that error comes up.

wheat sluice
#

You have your P: drive set up correctly right?

#

If you're not using P: drive then you'll probably have to use some other pbo packing tool. The latest versions of Mikero's stuff will not allow you pack a pbo if it detects missing files.

agile sequoia
#

I don't really need to use the ARMA Tools in general, so I never did. Just installed everything Eliteness needed from Mikeros site

wheat sluice
#

Would suggest that you do get it set up. Makes life a lot easier especially if you're just starting out modding since the majority of tutorials will refer to it as a basis.

agile sequoia
#

So it's only giving that error since it expects the config files to be operated through P drive... and other files I guess

hearty sandal
#

Yes. Your modding environment is not set up right so tools can't work as they are intended to work. And use pboproject to pack.

# south pumice Hello, I have a mod that adds an AT4 (anti-tank ammunition) in launcher slot on...

a) make sure you insert allowedSlots into the WeaponSlotsInfo subclass
b) make sure the mass there is low enough for the laucher to fit inside the bag
Here's the minimal example that works on my machine, launcher can be packed in both the vest and backpack.

class launch_MRAWS_olive_F;
class launch_MRAWS_olive_rail_F : launch_MRAWS_olive_F
{
    class WeaponSlotsInfo;
};
class launch_MRAWS_olive_rail_compact_F : launch_MRAWS_olive_rail_F
{
    class WeaponSlotsInfo : WeaponSlotsInfo
    {
        mass = 1;
        allowedSlots[] = {701, 901};
    }
}```
#

except it breaks everything else WeaponSlotsInfo-related, but the principle should be clear

ashen chasm
wheat sluice
#

Basically, your config should look something like this:

class B_HMG_01_weapon_F;
class B_HMG_01_high_weapon_F: B_HMG_01_weapon_F
{
  class assembleInfo;
};

class B_HMG_01_high_A_weapon_F: B_HMG_01_high_weapon_F
{
  ... blah blah blah ...

  class assembleInfo: assembleInfo
  {
      ... blah blah blah ...
  };
};
agile sequoia
#

I see now, I assume this means B_HMG_01_high_weapon_F won't get overwritten with this. And I'm guessing I can inherit the Turret config pretty much the same way.

agile sequoia
# 
   class HMG_01_base_F;
    class HMG_01_high_base_F: HMG_01_base_F {
        class AnimationSources {
        class autonomous_unhide;
    };
        class Turrets {
        class MainTurret;
        };
    };

Would this be correct?

#

Probably not considering it throws an error regarding the source for Animations when placing the unit

does anyone know why creating a new attachment class that inherits from a vanilla one add a premium DLC item marker to it? I have a weapon attachment that just inherits most things from acc_pointer_IR which is just a vanilla item, but my new item is marked like a DLC item when you view it in the inventory

wintry tartan
#

Show the config

rough hatch
#

something like this c++ class new_attachment_class: acc_pointer_IR { scope=2; displayName="New attachment"; model=""; _generalMacro = "new_attachment_class"; descriptionShort=""; descriptionUse=""; class ItemInfo: InventoryFlashLightItem_Base_F { mass=1; class Pointer { }; class FlashLight { }; }; };

#

it's an attachment that's supposed to be just a blank thing for activating an animation source on the weapon

#

so there's no model for it

wintry tartan
#

And it says what DLC?

I'm getting iteminfo.scope error, what's wrong?

put classes in right places

#

Refer to the sample configs from arma 3 samples for the right places

modest compass
#

OK, thank you very much.

This is what my config looks like:

    class acc_pointer_IR: ItemCore
    {
        class ItemInfo;
    };
    class DRE_acc_pointer_green_blk: acc_pointer_IR
    {
        author = "drebin052";
        scope = 2;
        displayName = "IR Laser Pointer [CSAT] (Black)";
        descriptionShort = "$STR_A3_cfgWeapons_acc_pointer_IR1";
        descriptionUse = "$STR_A3_cfgWeapons_use_pointer_IR0";
        model = "\a3r_weapons_acc\side\acc_pointer_green_blk.p3d";
        picture = "\a3r_weapons_acc\side\data\ui\gear_accv_pointer_green_blk_ca.paa";
        class ItemInfo: ItemInfo
        {
            mass = 10;
        };
        inertia = 0.2;
    };
#

The workaround is to use a blank model like "\A3\weapons_f\empty"; and it should be good to go.

#

that's really weird, I'll try using that empty model

is there some way that I can tweak the IR grenades so they dont attract LOAL weapons?

Hey, anyone know if the way voices and identityTypes in Arma 3 are handled changed? I just went back to working on my mod, only to find that in the current version of the game none of the identity types have the correct (or any at all) CfgVoice voices assigned, despite them having worked perfectly in the past

The voices still work if I assign them manually via either the editor or the virtual arsenal, and the identities still assign the correct heads, facewear, etc, it's just that all the units spawn with no voice assigned by default (the setting is empty). Has anyone else encountered this? Nothing about my mod changed since last year, and it worked back then..

#

I've gone and looked at the current configs for the vanilla voices, their identities, and their units, but I couldn't find anything to suggest a change of any sort. But I must be missing something, else things would still be working. Any ideas what that might be?

hearty sandal
#

hard to say but could be some sort of config mistake

#

are you running some other mods with your mod?

vagrant basin
wheat sluice
#

rpg2k_CUP_launch_RPG18 does not exist in your config.

#

Hang on, I remember writing this config out. I'm pretty sure you used to have a custom rpg2k_CUP_launch_RPG18 class that you just inherited from CUP's one.

#

You shouldn't need to edit CUP's own RPG-18 class as this isn't meant to be a replacement config.

#

I'm guessing you're having trouble with making it disposable, hence why you just reused CUP's classnames? I'm not quite sure how CBA has their system set up but from the looks of it, you either need to add your custom RPG-18 class to their CBA_DisposableLaunchers class or add a new array to it specifically for your own RPG-18.

vagrant basin
wheat sluice
#

You need to chuck the full config through. The one that I can see on the pastebin doesn't have the rpg2k_CUP_launch_RPG18 in CfgWeapons and no magazines for rpg2k_Rifleman_RPG18 in CfgVehicles.

vagrant basin
#

I just now got it working.

#

And I'm so angry how simple the solution was

#

I changed "CUP_launch_RPG18" to "CUP_launch_RPG18_Loaded", and gave the unit the required rocket.

#

And it now works as intended

#

dusk jungle
#

Can somebody direct me to the class that defines this impact crater?

#

I see HitEffects class inside CfgAmmo entry, it has hit* values that direct to effect classes in the root of config, but each subclass inside effect class seems to be simulation = "particles"; or simulation = "light";, can't seem to find this crater anywhere

novel lava
dusk jungle
novel lava
#

Yeah

#

I think the default is
craterShape="\a3\Data_f_orange\data\krater_maly";

#

or just blank

dusk jungle
#

getText(configFile >> "CfgAmmo" >> "rhsusf_40mm_HEDP" >> "craterShape") => ""
getText(configFile >> "CfgAmmo" >> "rhs_ammo_40mmHEDP_penetrator" >> "craterShape") => ""

novel lava
#

ok default is blank then - it is what sets it, when blank it just defaults to a specfic one thats defined somewhere else.

dusk jungle
#

I guess engine defaults it to something?

#

Alright

novel lava
#

cuz at least for example I use
craterShape = "\A3\weapons_f\empty.p3d";
to disable it

dusk jungle
#

Trying to figure why RHS's HEDP grenade multiplies impact effect by number of clients on the server.

#

Maybe somebody has an idea what's going on?

#

BE logs just single grenade and single penetrator entity so I thought it must by impact effect

novel lava
#

oh that's interesting - i wonder if its related to the penetrator being shotBullet

#

as at least dedmen said here: #community_wiki message
that shotBullet is always local so the client has their own version of the projectile

#

which might be causing this?

dusk jungle
#

SOG CDLC had (still has?) same issue but with vehicle explosions, they're multiplied by number of clients as well

#

Not sure if that's related though

novel lava
#

is that the big explosion or the small explosions afterwards (ie. secondaries)

dusk jungle
#

Primary explosion on vehicle's death

novel lava
#

strange

dusk jungle
#

Reproducible with just 2 players, number of particles multiplies by number of clients.

#

Promet SG shotgun is not affected by this bug

#

The only different I see so far by comparing two configs is that HEDP is shotShell and produces shotBullet submunitions, while shotgun is shotBullet that produces shotBullet submunitions

dusk jungle
#

So yeah, submunitioning global projectiles into local projectiles is a bad idea, their effects multiply by number of clients.

#

Local ammo to local submunition = ok
Global ammo to global submunition = ok
Global ammo to local submunition = nope

Hello i hope anyone can help me.
I want to delete the showcases in the main menu in my mod config with delete Bootcamp for example. All showcases got deleted successfully except the showcase "Cultural Property". But i have it correctly in my config.

The part in my config:

{
    delete Bootcamp;
    delete EastWind;
    delete ApexProtocol;
    delete Orange_Campaign;
    delete Orange_CampaignGerman;
    delete Orange_Showcase_IDAP;
    delete Orange_Showcase_LoW;
    delete AoW_Showcase_Future;
    delete AoW_Showcase_AoW;
    delete OldMan;
    delete SP_FD14;

    class JoinServer
    {
        text = "Genisys Milsim Server";
        picture = "NK_Data\data\spotlight.paa";
        action = "connectToServer ['195.201.169.176', 2302, '2099']";
        actionText = "Genisys Milsim Server beitreten";
        condition = "true";
    };
};```
And `AoW_Showcase_Future` is the AoW Showcase "Cultural Property". So what is wrong? Is there another config for that? Or did i made a mistake?
hearty sandal

your required addon loadorder may be faulty so it gets loaded after

id recommend aow loadorder addon as it contains all vanilla ones

I think its in the pinned messages

@unreal anchor

unreal anchor
#

I dont know excactly what you mean. Loading A3_Data_F_AoW_Loadorder except of A3_Data_F_AoW and A3_Ui_F_AoW or loading that too? And at first oder last

hearty sandal
#

using just a3_data_f_aow_loadorder in your required addons

unreal anchor
#

Okay i changed it but its still the same. Everythin is fine except the Cultural Property Showcase. Thats still there

hearty sandal
#

are you sure you have the right classname?

#

check in game config viewer whats left in there after deleting the classes

unreal anchor
#

I checked it 10 times. 😄 Yes im sure. Thats why im asking if there is another part where that showcase be in. I checked the title, the picture, the video, and the classname.

unreal anchor
unreal anchor
#

So i looked for it but the showcases are JoinServer (My Showcase) and as i thought the "AoW_Showcase_Future". And i deleted this as you can see above

#

Ignore the campaigns 😄

#

You're trying to delete AoW_Showcase_Future before AoW_Showcase_AoW

it's possible one inherits from the other. Check your RPT.

question, does arma take into account which part of your body armor protects, like looks at p3d and see what it covers, or does it solely works off

class Chest
        {
            hitpointName    = "HitChest";
            armor            = 1 ; //float [0 .. ∞]
            passThrough        = 1.0; //float [0 .. 1]
        };

value?

novel lava
#

its based on the character firegeo/hitpoints

nimble lodge
#

so if I put lets say class chest with armor = 5000, and place it under eyewear for example, will it actually protect the chest?

wheat sluice
#

Items in the facewear slot don't support HitPointsProtectionInfo.

nimble lodge
#

okay, than helmet?

wheat sluice
#

It should work if the helmet's model covered the hitpoint and it was configured to protect it.

novel lava
#

as said its based purely on the underlying character model so you could have a helmet that provided chest armour despite physically only being a helmet

Hey, I am completely new to this with 0 experience. How can I enable turret gimbal locking on an aircraft which has it disabled on the TGP? Like what do I type in and where

#

From some cursory research I'm pretty sure it's something to do with the enableDirectionStabilization

#

Do you wanted to achieve it in a Mod or a mission/script?

wraith ingot
#

Just in a mission

#

I'm not trying to make a mod, just enable it for a mission

#

Or, wait, a Targeting Pod am I right? I guess it is possible to do it with... the key which I forgot

Yeah I know you can enable gimbal locking with ctrl + T

but the TGP i'm trying to use it with doesn't even have that function

Ah okay

viral dragon
#

The config entry for camera lock stabilisation is located in "CfgVehicles" >> "Your_vehicle_className" >> "Turrets" >> "TurretName" >> "OpticsIn" >> "OpticModeName" and is called directionStabilized. It is described for each optics mode of each turret separately. Refer to e.g. B_UAV_02_dynamicLoadout_F for an example.

wintry tartan
#

I realized that directionStabilized isn't mentioned in BIKI so probably I have to slap Lou's face

Might be under "PilotCamera" instead

No dice there either, unfortunately

if we still talk "bwi_a3_at6b" - then there are >> "Turrets" >> "MainTurret" >> whatever subclasses

wraith ingot
#

#

That's exactly what I'm looking at and they don't seem to be there

#

Wait I think I'm just being dumb

#

not like directionStabilized is in any of the optics classes. And not like i can provide a decent working way of changing the configs notlikemeow

F-14 Tomcat JSDF branch-Copy\Addons\jsdf_f14\jsdf_f14\skin\christina is the complete file path of the mod folder, with "\jsdf_f14\skin\christina\body_co.paa" being the file path in the hiddenselectionstextures section

    };
};

Test is defined in there, the directory is CBRNOverhaul.Stratis\AJ_CBRN_V2\functions\fn_test.sqf

I'm not sure why it doesnt see it.

#

well, it shows up in the function viewer, but the function appears empty and if I execute it, it doesnt seem to run

shy knot
languid wing
#

which one? CBRN?

shy knot
#

You have a class inside a class

#

Functions should just be file only

languid wing
#

you've lost me, which one are you referring to?

shy knot
#

CBRN has class test inside it

#

That shouldn’t be done

languid wing
#

from what I understood from the wiki that was the way it was supposed to be

shy knot
#

That’s for a category

languid wing
#

yes, Tag > Category > Function

shy knot
# 

class CfgFunctions
{
    class TAG
    {
        class Category1
        {
            class myFunction {};
        };

        class Category2
        {
            file = "Path\To\Category";
            class myFunction
            {
                file = "My\Function\Filepath.sqf"; // file path will be <ROOT>\My\Function\Filepath.sqf", ignoring "Path\To\Category"
            };

            class myFSMFunction
            {
                preInit        = 1;

                ext            = ".fsm";

                recompile    = 1;
            };
        };
    };
};```
languid wing
#

that's specifically targeting the file in the function class

#

I was looking at this example

# 
class CfgFunctions
{
    class TAG
    {
        class Category
        {
            class myFunction {};
        };

        class OtherCategory
        {
            file = "My\Category\Path";
            class myFunction {}; // file path will be <ROOT>\My\Category\Path\fn_myFunction.sqf";
        };

        class DataCategory
        {
            requiredAddons[] = { "A3_Data_F" }; // Optional requirements of CfgPatches classes. If some addons are missing, category functions will not be compiled.
            class myDataFunction {};
        };
    };
};
#

specifically the "otherCategory" part

# 
        class OtherCategory
        {
            file = "My\Category\Path";
            class myFunction {}; // file path will be <ROOT>\My\Category\Path\fn_myFunction.sqf";
        };

Is it possible to make nested hitpoints? For example, I shoot off the top part of the wall, and then that breaks, then I shoot off the bottom part.

However, if I shoot off the bottom part first, the top part dies with it.

Or do I just have to not use that and only have one part that can be shot off at all?

hearty sandal

Good to know, but I don't want to overcomplicate the object, since one damage part will do fine if I need it to

I use the script below, the volume of the sound is the "300", my question is, what is the maximum volume for the cfg sounds

#

sounds[] = {};
class music1
{

Is it 999, or more? Or less?

I'm having some trouble getting a custom inventory item to show up in the arsenal. My addon seems fine as my preinit functions in cfgfunctions are firing and I'm not seeing any errors on startup.

Here is my cfgweapons:

class CfgWeapons
{
    class ItemCore;
    class InventoryItem_Base_F;
    class GromArmband: ItemCore
    {
        author="Grom";
        scope = 2;      
        scopeArsenal = 2;
        scopeCurator = 2;
        displayName="Armband";
        descriptionShort="Wearable armband for PID of friendly/enemy units.";
        picture="\grom_armbands\textures\isrc_matrix_skull_512x512.paa";
        model="grom_armbands\models\armband_003.p3d";
        simulation= "ItemMineDetector";
        class ItemInfo: InventoryItem_Base_F
        {
            mass=5;
        };
    };
};
#

in my cfgpatches i've also defined the following: (only relevant content)

        requiredAddons[]=
        {
            "A3_Weapons_F"
        };
        requiredVersion=0.1;
        units[]={};
        weapons[]=
        {
            "GromArmband"
        };
#

the item is also not spawnable using the classname, seems to be absent from the cfg bin altogether 🤔

toxic swan
#

Resolved!
I just needed to create a transport vehicle then include the item in the vehicle's transportItems

is there a way to append an array from a parent class ? Lets say :

class MyParent {
  myArray[] = {1, 2};
};
class MyChild : MyParent  {
  myArray[] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
};
#

this seems unnecessary

#

is there something like += that would do smth like that :

class MyParent {
  myArray[] = {1, 2};
};
class MyChild : MyParent  {
  myArray[] += {3, 4};
};
#

?

hearty sandal
#

some arrays allowed that if I remember right. += was the syntax I think

rustic cape
#

I just found magazines[] += {"ACE_HuntIR_M203"}; in some very old config of mine

#

I guess these used to work

#

maybe ?

#

I'll see

arctic sparrow

what configuration to add in config.cpp to be able to switch between pilot and gunner?

guys,i have been trying to add sensors to helis but i cant wrap my head around it,can i get some help?

arctic sparrow

#

Is addons\MR_Insignia your source folder?

#

I actually found an inconsistency with your name: MR_Insignias vs MR_Insignia

pallid sierra
#

im just gonna go to bed i think. must not be firing well up there

arctic sparrow
calm elk
#

oh,thanks

#

will do

calm elk
#

like 30 lines or so?

#

also where can i find the templates to edit them?

#

radar templates,i wanted to make some alterations but i cant even install them on my helis(outdated unit stuff)

calm elk
#

its weird,i set all the sensors data and stuff in the heli HPP file,but ingame it still refuses to lock or even acknowledge the enemy vehicle

hearty sandal
#

Have you packed your files into a pbo?

#

Is your hpp file included in the config.cpp of the vehicle?

slim mantle
#

Hey, I've got a vehicle I'm loading in and the MFD config of it is causing a small freeze to the game whenever I place the vehicle down.
I think this is just because of how gigantic my MFD config is (about 7k elements and 1.5k groups to turn them on/off, loading has increased consistently with the increase in MFD elements added to the mod), but I did notice this in the RPT whenever I place the vehicle down

d:\bis\source\dev\futura\lib\huddesc.cpp(5445)(func: MFDDesc::Load)  [AssertNoDlg]  MainThread=24860 countAll <= 200

This happens I think about 20 times, does anyone know what this might mean? Is it a sign of an error of some sort that I should be fixing?

hearty sandal
#

that is quiiiite a lot of elements

slim mantle
#

yeah turns out trying to stuff a whole blackhawk worth of MFDs in to arma is uhhhhh
not really what the MFD system was designed to be able to handle

#

especially since the MFD system only allows 50 strings and 50 integers to be inserted through SQF, I have to do some extra nasty workaround that bump the element count a fair bit also

slim mantle
#

what surprises me is that the RHS apache loads instantly and this is how the MFDs compare
Vehicle Elements Groups
RHS Apache 1830 275
Hatchet H-60 6360 1543
I'm vaguely guessing the main slowdown is caused by the simple expressions in the group conditions being loaded in on our 60, but figured I'd ask also about the RPT message above to see if maybe we have some kind of error going on

hearty sandal
#

you can debug it simply by commenting out half and see if that does anything

#

then try the other half

#

then half those

#

but yes you may have reached some safe limit

slim mantle
#

yeah loading time goes up pretty linearly with how much I'm enabling or not enabling, so unless there's some untraceable error that is evenly distributed through my MFDs I'm pretty much fucked 😄

Any documentation for how Arma3 handles setting hidden texture selections through Editor? I have an object I've made with hidden texture selections, and want the textbox which allows you to enter the path to a texture in the Editor to appear.

calm elk
#

enabling the sensors in the config too,but no ingame effect still,no lock even with IR weaponry on "hot" targets

calm elk
#

how does one add sensors to mod vehicles like RHS?

#

also double checking,which file am i supposed to add the sensor enable code into again?

wintry tartan
#

config.cpp, yes

calm elk
#

only the vehicle's right? so i put the wiki code in and alter the variables?

#

also the classnames

#

wait can i use like AllVehicles : Air to mod every air vehicle at once?

#

or do i have to manually change each one(which is what im trying but failing)

wintry tartan
#

I don't know which vehicles you try to modify but most likely latter

calm elk
#

im trying to edit a Huey to have Laser and IR sensors

#

its that one huey with pylons

#

rhs i think

wintry tartan
#

Can you show the config you have right now?

calm elk
#

sure

#

does discord format code?

#

or is it going to sprawl out everywhere

wintry tartan
#

sqfbin or pastebin if it is long enough

calm elk
#

this i guess

#

thats what im putting inside the CPP

wintry tartan
#

Full config please

calm elk
#

oops,sorry

#

one sec

#

second result if you look for gunship should be the edited part

#

line 1936

wintry tartan
#

Okay at first glance you have a lot of unnecessary configs, which is not recommended

calm elk
#

the ones with 0 and blank results?

wintry tartan
#

No, more like almost everything else than you wanted to put

calm elk
#

i see,so i should dump it and just leave the sensor stuff?

wintry tartan
#

Basically, a config work in Arma series (prior to Arma Reforger which I don't know how to Mod yet...) supposed to include only the thing you wanted to modify and nothing else

calm elk
#

ah,so im not supposed to just edit the original,but to make a specific edit? like just put a single part,not the whole thing?

wintry tartan
#

Yes

#

It could be an apocalyptic consequence

calm elk
#

so i,in this case,have to just add the sensormanager to a replacement cfgpatches?

wintry tartan
#

So you want to modify rhs_uh1h_hidf_gunship?

calm elk
#

yes

wintry tartan
#

The entire SensorsManagerComponent is your work more like what you wanted to modify?

calm elk
#

yes,i tried

wintry tartan
calm elk
#

holy damn i was doing everything wrong

#

thanks dude

#

wait,i know you from somewhere?

just firing up arma

so,it spat out an error

#

#

nvm

found the culprit

#

myself

#

your code is fine,i messed up

#

ok so,not working,macers still not locking enemy target

#

tried scalpels too,i guess something wack with my config

calm elk
#

HOLY SHIT ITS FIXED

#

no clue wtf went down,but after restarting twice its working

#

once again,thanks polpox

calm elk
#

say,do i need to edit singular vehicles, or just the base works?

calm elk
#

i noticed something,i need a copilot to lock to targets,is there a fix?

humble cape
#

So I am trying to make the Seara MRLS into a controllable UAV, and so I have this

crew = "B_UAV_AI";
isUav=1;

but if I take controls, then take turret controls, I get an option to go to drivers seat, which when doing that makes me stuck in the seat and have no scroll wheel actions.

is there something I am missing?

humble cape
#

I tried this, #arma3_config message, and the same thing happened for the helicopter, switching to copilot seats makes me stuck and unable to do anything

#

Though if I try that on the merkava, no option to switch seats appears, therefore no problem. but with the Seara and the Taru the option to switch to seat XXX appears which can causes issues

calm elk
#

i can find 0 reason for the co-pilot being a necessity, and the macer works great on planes with a single crewmember, maybe its the aimdown setting? if anyone knows what im doing wrong please do tell

calm elk
#

mother of christ,it seems it was the primarygunner=1 in the copilot,im taking a long break

rustic cape
#

is there something funny going on with author property ? I have a "base" object declared as such :

class GSRI_helmet_modular : H_HelmetB {
    author = "$STR_GSRI_AUTHORS_PHILEAS";
    //other stuff
};

and in the exact same file, a few lines down, an other object as such :

class GSRI_helmet_modular_advanced : GSRI_helmet_modular {
    //stuff, but no overriden author
};
#

when visualizing it in the virtual arsenal, I can see my two objects. The first one has its proper author in the down right corner, as expected.

#

However, the second one is authored by "Unknown community author"

#

Even weirded, if I go in the config viewer from in-game, I can see that the author property declared in the base object AND the inherited property of the child class are both correctly set.

rustic cape
#

and it seems to be the same for basically all of my child object inheriting their author instead of declaring it.

#

(these are helmets, so this config exists in CfgWeapons btw)

molten musk
#

Hi,
Is there any guide to build own object, i mean i have item which shows in invertory (this i have) but when i drop it ground from invertory , cursorObject says it is "groundHolder", so I cannot create this with createVehicle.
So where i start to build?

rustic cape
#

Items are never dropped on the ground "as is". They must always be contained in some kind of holder. If you drag something from the inventory to the ground, a groundHolder is created on the fly, and then deleted when emptied by someone.

#

If you want to create your object as a vehicle, you need to define it under CfgVehicles instead of CfgWeapons/Magazines/whatever

ashen chasm
#

or both CfgWeapons and CfgVehicles. And link the classes together. Or some other dark magic.

molten musk
#

Nice, i like dark magic

ashen chasm
#

nah, i'm misremembering things

nimble sequoia
rustic cape
#

that's weird

#

config viewer sees it correctly

#

that might be a willingful behavior, in order to avoid carrying miss-attributed objects everywhere

#

but that seems strange to me, quite unconsistent

ashen chasm
#

that's some epic dark magic sqf for "_i" from 0 to (count _config - 1) do { _entry = _config select _i; if (istext _entry) then { if (configname _entry == "dev" && cheatsenabled) exitwith {_author = gettext _entry;}; if (configname _entry == "author") exitwith {_author = gettext _entry;}; }; };

#

from bis_fnc_overviewauthor which is called by arsenal and i suppose that's how it gets the author data

molten musk
#

Hmm,
If i define my object in cfgVehicles, which all things I need define there.
I just want object shown on ground without any special element , if ppl can pick it up, that is only what I need.
I have .p3d from A3 models

rustic cape
ashen chasm
#

i wonder if that's specifically written to skip inherited properties

#

like count (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "B_Survivor_F") returns only 13, and the contents are mostly redefined inventory with nothing more. And author, of course.

#

count configProperties [configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "B_Survivor_F", "true", false] also returns 13, so yeah, count _config doesn't follow the inheritance. Maaagic

Is there a way I can remove cargo positions from a vehicle through a config patch?

#

I was interested in making some FFV slots for trucks but I'm unsure how to go about converting a cargo position into a turret to add the turning in and out features

humble cape
#

How can I make it so a seat/turret is only accessible form outside? I.E prevent driver from switching to gunner and vice versa from the inside

hearty sandal
#

they need to have setup with different compartments

humble cape
#

ah darn, I was thinking i could disable moving to driver/gunner seat for this uav issue I mentioned above a while ago

hearty sandal
#

compartments are config thing

humble cape
#

oh I thought that would be a p3d thing

#

ill try taking a stab at that then

slim halo
humble cape
#

changing compartments for driver and gunner to be different fixed my issue with the UAV showing "to driver seater" action which would then sorta break game, so theres that atleast

for #arma3_config message if anyone ever in the future runs into something similar lol

novel lava
#

cargoProxyIndexes[] to set which proxies are used for cargo

#

so if for example the model has 10 cargo proxies and you wanted proxy 2 and 9 to be FFV proxies you'd set:

cargoProxyIndexes[] = {1,3,4,5,6,7,8,10};
transportSoldier = 8;

FFV positions arent counted for transportSoldier

is there a way to give facewear functioning geo lod?

#

I tried adding geo lod to it but the item in a question, a shield, isn't registering bullet impacts and they just pass through

no

#

facewear slot is meant as simple facewear slot

#

😅

dry mantle
#

damn, so if I did it in the weapon slot and binded to a bone, would the shield then work and absorb bullets?

hearty sandal
#

weapon slot only follows the weapon bone

#

but yes

#

weapons have geometry and they can block bullets

quartz rampart

I've been able to create FFV slots on the truck I want in the old seat positions. Though there are extra slots (i.e Passenger 11, Passenger 12, etc.) that you can sit in but are invisible and inside of the truck. Any way to remove those?

okay thanks. On another note. I haven't configured sounds for weapons before. Do I need to do cfgsoundshader first, then incorporate the soundshader into the cfgsoundset, then call that class into the weapon config in the soundshader list?

Don't write it, just write in only values you are changing.

IIRC you should be able to only write in the things you want changing and everything else should stay the same.

Okey. I try find from Google/ wiki some examples.

#

weaponholder is a invisible object that gets placed on ground and items/weapons go into it

#

it is like a invisible crate

#

you can find weaponholder configs from the ingame config viewer or if you make a all in one config dump file or even the arma3 samples have that if I remeber right

molten musk
#

Okay. But if I can get this working correctly, this will help me get my other designs "created". currently i have put the player in invertory and dropped the item on the ground or gave it to another player

you need to have the class you inherit in the parent class and in the child class. you can see examples in the vanilla configs and sample configs and the wiki page about config inheritance

Does anyone have solid documentation on how to implement vehicle PP effects in gunner turret views? I've tried to go off of some existing configs but I've never been able to get anything to apply. There are also a lot of different classes the PP effect names can be defined in and it'd be nice to know how that is supposed to apply.

Hey guys,
I need help. I'm trying to implement optic model and I don't know how (I need to know what is the code for that).
I need to make the optic work with all the rail weapons
like RHS optic.

Thanks.

IIRC I also had it applied to all the various views.

grand zinc
#

hm my examples are only thermal resolution, not normal resolution pp, and they are attributes to the thermal pp thing and not standalone pp's :sad:

ruby basalt
#

I mean I'd be fine with thermal resolution too, never got that working via script but I also haven't figured it out on the config side of things.

grand zinc
#

The same config that has opticsZoomMin/visionMode/memoryPointcamera gets
thermalResolution[] = {0.0, 640, 1.0, 320};
thermalNoise[] = {0.2,0.1,0.2,1,1,1,0,0.7};

Well. Now the default settings of this M2A2 are loading but for some reason it creates a HitHell folder when I just need to change the HitHell in the HitPoints folder...

        };
        author="MFive";
    };
};

        class HitPoints;
    
        armor = 400; //Default = 290
        armorStructural = 5; //Default=280
        minTotalDamageThreshold = 0.005;
        explosionShielding = 1; //Default=15
            class HitHull: HitPoints {

Has anyone had any success with implementing a customized radio protocol and adding it to their custom units in their own custom faction? I've made a spanish language voicepack replacing the most common .ogg voicelines and when I try to use my faction their all speaking american english. It only works when I go in the editor and manually change the speaker to my custom faction in the individual units.

I found something in CfgLocationTypes:

    class RockArea: Hill

        color[] = {0,0,0,1};
        size = 12;

        importance = 2;
        texture = "\A3\ui_f\data\map\locationtypes\rockarea_ca.paa";

But I wonder where are map scale thresholds are defined (when icon hides and stops changing size with the zoom)

Some kind of font size probably

That will be the Geometry or Geo Phys LOD's. Empty them out and I guess it won't collide with anything.

hi guys, i'm trying the retexture the white thingy that covers the second cockpit on the Buzzard. Through a process of... well... opening every single texture in air_f_gamma/Plane_Fighter_03/Data, i managed to find the correct texture to retex and change that hideous white thing. Only problem is: is there a way to change that texture through config? (for info it's air_f_gamma/Plane_Fighter_03/Data/Plane_Fighter_03_VP_kab_CO.paa)
I have checked all .rvmats and i don't see a way there, so i'm guessing the texture is hardcoded in the .p3d, but perhaps there's a way?

#

if it does not come up in the vehicles hiddenselection array it cant be retextured

It depends how big you dream. As you've managed to get this far you've already demonstrated abilities beyond the norm, so perhaps push yourself to make a new aircraft or adapt an existing model (with permissions) to make exactly what you want. 🙂

#

means either that file is not packed into your pbo or its folder structure in pbo is different from what you have written and thus it cant be found

#

In case you have not set up P drive I recommend doing that and getting Mikeros toolset and use pboProject to pack your pbo

#

that way you get error debug when packing instead of having to go to ingame to see errors

this is the file structure ( i pack the pbo with pbo manager for this tests)

On APC_Tracked_03_base_F am I correct in reading this config that in order to turn the drivers reverse camera on somewhere there is an eventhandler that is performing two animate actions, one to hide the MFD and the other to swap the view to the reverse camera?

How would I leave the reverse camera on all the time?

Within the config there is these two entries under the animate array.
"driver_reverse_cam"
"driver_hide_mfd"

Both are set to 1.

I assume that I'd need to set both of these to 0 (animation start) in order to achieve that?

#

Or do I need an AnimationSources class to forceAnimate the above?

somewhere there is an eventhandler it is done through animation source

I don't think you are able to override "gear" animation source via config

to the init.sqf the script runs when the server starts, how can i make it only run when it is called through the CfgCommunicationMenu ?

I'd like to edit the existing mods config. It defines it's own class afuk_scimitar2a_base.
Now the changes I've done works however I want to know if there is a better way to achieve this without redefining everything.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Class_Inheritance#:~:text=It is not necessary to declare the base class'es
It says that in the wiki, I have afuk_vehicles in my required addons, however if I do something like
class afuk_scimitar2a_base : afuk_scimitar2a_base
it throws an error saying afuk_scimitar2a_base is undefined. So I'm a bit confused. Could someone teach me how to do this properly?

How do these work then? Knowing inheritence i know it's not logical but for arma i thought maybe it means copy everything without changing class name or something. Since i saw this being used in the mod itself. Not sure how it works.

hearty sandal
#

it inherits from these classes from inside another class

hearty sandal
#

but the main1 cant inherit from main1

#

class main1: main1 because on that level there is and can not be another class called main1

#

the inheritance is very logical

#

there might be main1 : main_base

#

and stuff like that

            };

You can figure out the rest. Shouldn't take you too long to implement if you know config basics and inheritance.

Use ingame config viewer (there are nice mods that have better search tools) or make all in one config dump file that you can easily search through.

so if i inherit a helicopter that has fire from passenger seat turrets, and i want to delete those, how do i actually do that?

    class Turrets: Turrets
    {
        class CargoTurret_01 {};
        class CargoTurret_02 {};
        class CargoTurret_03 {};
        class CargoTurret_04 {};
        class CargoTurret_05 {};
        class CargoTurret_06 {};
    };

but this breaks the turrets that im not deleting, is this wrong?

CfgPatches >> units must include those units in it

weak relic
#

may have gotten me one step closer but still no cigar unfortunately 😦

proper tangle
#

I was wondering- Is there a reason why config.cpp does not include types in the class fields?

ashen chasm
#

uhm, "types"? 5 is Number, "5" is String, {5} is Array and i don't think there can by any other type to be included?

wintry tartan
#

Actually, Engine determines which config is a number, a string or an array

ashen chasm
#

and i somehow remember funny things about getText _cfg returning a piece of code and getNumber _cfg returning its result for the same _cfg 🤔

wintry tartan
#

Yeah

#

That's... a strange Engine. More like ancient

would you not need an auto

it's not C++

it just happens to use the same filename extension and partially similar syntax 🤷‍♂️

More Turrets questions:
I'm creating a vehicle that is identical to a vanilla neo-chinook, with the crew sword out for units from a custom faction. The pilot and copilot are swapped fine, but to do the door gunners I need to alter the turrets. Easy enough, but I can't find the Names of the turrets for the model I've inherited! Config viewer just gives me a blank page when I try to dig through it.
Any help on how to find the answers would be most appreciated

simple surge
#

OK found them after being redirected. Now I can't get a3 to launch because I haven't defined a base class for the turret. But I've got the turrets listed right there with the base class at the top of the file...
--edit--
OK they're defined and I'm not getting error messages, however my new helicopter has vanished from the entity list in Eden along with the original it was inheriting. WTF.

nimble sequoia
#

You have probably overwritten the base class, rather than inheriting from it.

simple surge
#

...shit.
Well I can backtrack to before I defined the turrets, but I'm out of ideas on how to proceed in that case.

nimble sequoia
#

Use Leopards "Advanced Developer Tools" from Steam - in game it replaces the Config Viewer with a much better one, especially when it comes to viewing Turrets and inheritance.

OK thanks, I'll have a shout at that

for CowsSlot on weapons, does += work to add additional scopes, or would I have to have all possible scopes listed? I have only seen += used for magazines and no where else

wheat sluice
#

You can use that operator but it's not necessary unless you want to restrict the weapon's optic choices. Otherwise, you can just inherit from CowsSlot_Rail and then modify the class to add whatever custom optics you have to compatibleItems like this:

class CowsSlot_Rail: CowsSlot
{
    class compatibleItems
    {
        optic_myCustomScope = 1;
    };
};
humble cape
#

I thoughtcompatibleItems was an array? I am basically trying to add a some scopes to a subclass of an existing weapon and I dont think its a good idea to just copy what it supports now + scopes I want

#

oh I think I see what you mean after looking through config viewer

#

would there be issues if you had both array and class for compatibleItems?

Could, by any chance, somebody help me with making an gasmask from facecover to nightvision? I am working on a zombie mission and the mod disallows facecovers, yet nightvision work just fine.

out of curiosity, is it possible to add submunition to submunition to submunition..?

I think so, submunition is just another ammo class, which can have submunition again, right?

Crashes the game

ammo A has submunition B that has submunition C that has submunition B....

I've atleast done a submunition that spawns a submunition, but the game does not like it if you loop it around

steep pawn
#

Is there any workaround to get a weapon name to display a & symbol without breaking the name completely?

hearty sandal
#

how have you written in in your config?

steep pawn
#

Just the & symbol like H&K

hearty sandal
#

displayname = "H&K"?

steep pawn
wheat sluice
#

Use &.

#

e.g. displayname = "Koffler &amp; Stock MP-V";

#

The reason why you get the question mark is because the engine thinks you're trying to input an escape for a symbol. Since 'K' isn't valid, it returns ? instead.

#

Should note that this applies to almost every special character for strings in Arma. If you need to display a symbol, refer to its XML counterpart.

not much. some debug stuff for physX are exposed in the diagExe

there are all kinds of scripted solutions possible though. They can even be honed to work well enough in MP

reef shore
#

yo bros how do you define what muzzle flash a weapon use? is it defined by the defined proxy of the named selection assigned in selectionFireAnim in config?

nimble sequoia
#

Put a proxy (link to a p3d model) on the end of the barrel with the flash type you want, give it a name (like zasleh), include it in the gun barrel selection (typical otochlaven), add
selectionFireAnim = "zasleh"; in config
and put zasleh in the model.cfg sections[]

can anybody shed light on why this doesnt succesfully create a uniform? i dont crash or anything I just can't find my item in the editor, no errors.
wintry tartan
#

Are you sure that U_B_Soldier_new is a proper config to inherit?

deep roost
#

probably is not
im trying to make an individual item, not just inherit textures for a reskin to be clear

wintry tartan
#

Let me fetch some exmple after I'm back at PC

deep roost
#

okay

hearty sandal
#

You'll want to choose your own mod project tag_ prefix instead of using cup_

deep roost
#

will that only be an issue when publishing online? im making these just for myself

#

otherwise i can understand why

hearty sandal
#

It can cause issues if you happen to pick up same classnames. Good to do things properly even fo your own use

#

Saves a lot of confusion in helping you out too

#

Or you'll end up always answering why you don't have cup setup as dependency or this is not valid cup_ class to inherit from etc

deep roost
#

alright

wintry tartan
#

So uhh... I'm back. Before I start the thing, are you aware that an uniform is made from two parts: a CfgVehicles entry and a CfgWeapons entry?

deep roost
#

nope. that will likely be an issue
i assumed they were made in the same vein as a helmet or vest, but I have read something about needing to be attached to a character or something

wintry tartan
#

Well, if you use the common sense, it should only use CfgWeapons... but this is Arma (prior to Reforger), where the common sense wouldn't work!

deep roost
#

ofc lol

wintry tartan
#

So, let me allow to take some time to write minimum config

ok, sounds good

        displayName = "$STR_A3_CfgWeapons_U_C_ArtTShirt_01_v1_F0";
        picture = "\a3\Characters_F_AoW\Uniforms\data\ui\icon_U_C_ArtTShirt_01_v1_F_ca.paa";
        model = "\a3\Characters_F_AoW\Uniforms\Suitpacks\suitpack_ArtTShirt_01_F.p3d";    // <- this is the model when you drop the uniform, not when you wear it
        hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"};    // <- same with above
        hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\a3\Characters_F_AoW\Uniforms\Data\U_C_ArtTShirt_01_v1_F_co.paa"};    // <- same

            containerClass = "Supply20";    // <- Supply0 - Supply500 IIRC, the number should represent how many items you can put (related to somewhat confusing *mass* number just like below)
            mass = 30;    // <- how heavy the uniform is
        };
    };

#

Here we go, because the characters limit I split it two

#

Somewhat lazy that taken from official config but effective to learn I guess

deep roost
#

yea np let me look over it one sec

wintry tartan
#

Of course if you know how to class inheritance you can inherit from any uniforms for the base of your uniform

deep roost
#

uniformClass = "C_Uniform_ArtTShirt_01_v1_F"; // <- probably mandatory to use the same name
what do you mean when you say its mandatory to use the same name?

wintry tartan
#

uniformClass of an unit should tell that the unit should wear the uniform by default. I don't really have a big experience with making uniforms so I say probably

deep roost
#

I see, so its not saying to use literally the same name ("C_Uniform_ArtTShirt_01_v1_F") but to use the same class name as the new uniform item? whatever that is

wintry tartan
#

Probably you need to experiment and see, maybe it just don't care if the unit shouldn't be spawned

im not making any units for eden editor so maybe yeah, i will try some stuff anyway thx

If you are inheriting cup classes you need to use cup as required Addon

No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWeapons/rhs_uniform_gorka_y_g.scope'.

so a config you have(?) contains class rhs_uniform_gorka_y_g inside class cfgweapons that is missing scope parameter

probably due to broken inheritance or/and missing required addons
