#

some references

hearty sandal
# severe marlin

so this would be a unit that would be in the bluefor/redfor/indfor/civilian lists

#

not in the yellow structure/building/static entity list

severe marlin
#

ah

hearty sandal
#

in the pictures I just posted theres reference list to the base classes and couple of examples how a weapon and vest holders have been set up

severe marlin
hearty sandal
#

so the difference is that the groundholder entity is a static object like a box or chair or building

#

and its made inside the cfgVehicles class like all static objects (and walking units and all other vehicles are)

#

its not defined in the cfgWeapons where the items, weapons and gear that you interact in your inventory are defined

#

the cfgVehicles GroundHolder object will however carry the weapon or gear you want it to show

severe marlin
hearty sandal
severe marlin
#

for uniforms

hearty sandal
#

same way as when you create a unit you give it Weapons= Magazines= and so on

severe marlin
hearty sandal
#

yes

severe marlin
#

for the name right?

hearty sandal
#

what name?

severe marlin
#

in class transport item

#

there is a name

#

name = ""

hearty sandal
#

yes that connects with cfgWeapons items

severe marlin
#

k

#

i try

hearty sandal
#

same here for a weapon

severe marlin
#

it wont show in list

#

also this

ArmA_3_2025.05.30-16.42.png
#

my uniform has different color

wintry fox
#

Show your config

severe marlin
#

i just used on this 1

wintry fox
#

Yeah you're still inheriting from a unit

#

You don't need to set the uniform class, model, textures, etc.

severe marlin
#

bruh

wintry fox
#

A ground holder is just an invisible crate with your item in its inventory

severe marlin
#

do i need to use ground holder on cfgweapon?

wintry fox
#

What?

severe marlin
#

nvm

#

so whats the problem now?

wintry fox
#

You're trying to make your ground holder like a unit

#

There needs to be a separate class for the ground holder, you can't make your unit into a ground holder

wintry fox
severe marlin
wintry fox
#

You didn't

#

Because what Goat sent is completely different from what you have there

severe marlin
#

its vest

wintry fox
#

It's the same setup

severe marlin
#

he also gave the cfgweapon of that vest to that

wintry fox
#

There's nothing special about what item goes in it

#

You need two CfgVehicles classes. One is your normal unit that sets the model, textures, etc.

The second will be the ground holder, which just contains the uniform (i.e. the CfgWeapons class) in its TransportItems

severe marlin
wintry fox
#

Should be Uniform_Base_F for uniforms, but I don't think it matters too much, mostly for categories iirc

severe marlin
#

but in "inventory items"

#

instead of "Uniforms"

severe marlin
#

also when i put it on ground its 2 aaf uniforms on ground and half of the uniform its underground

wintry fox
severe marlin
wintry fox
#

Well that's what I said would happen

severe marlin
#

uniform base is nato uniform right?

wintry fox
#

Use Uniform_Base_F, which sets the editor category / subcategory

wintry fox
severe marlin
#

also this happened

ArmA_3_2025.05.30-17.35.png
#

it spawned 2 instead of one

wintry fox
#

You're probably still setting the model, don't do that

severe marlin
#

yeah i set model

#

in site used dummy weapon

wintry fox
#

You don't need to change it because you're inheriting

severe marlin
wintry fox
#

You don't need it, it's been long replaced by editor (sub)categories afaik

severe marlin
#

it joined in AAF

#

it works but this

ArmA_3_2025.05.30-16.42.png
severe marlin
wintry fox
#

You need to add it to your addon's CfgPatches >> units list

severe marlin
#

Add what exactly?

wintry fox
#

The ground holder's class name

severe marlin
hearty sandal
#

everything you want to show up in zeus

severe marlin
#

on ground

wintry fox
hearty sandal
# severe marlin on ground

there are 2 parts to an uniform. The cfgWeapons Item which is that folded block of uniform you see normally and then the cfgVehicles part uniform that is what the uniform looks like on your character when you put it on in the inventory

#

I dont know why you have the cfgVehicles uniform visible when having the item in the ground holder should show the folded block

wintry fox
#

Probably because they set the model in their uniform config too

severe marlin
#

i also removed model in ground holder codes

wintry fox
#

Uniform = CfgWeapons, Unit = CfgVehicles

severe marlin
#

yes i set model

#

for cfgweapons

wintry fox
#

Yeah that's why it shows like that

severe marlin
#

and try it

severe marlin
hearty sandal
#

and compare your class next to it

severe marlin
hearty sandal
#

I mean one of the actual uniform item ground holders

#

so you can compare to a same thing you are making

#

not the base class

#

like this

image.png
severe marlin
#

I'm looking into an folded aaf uniform

severe marlin
hearty sandal
#

yes that is the GROUNDHOLDER model

#

and the groundholder model would then show this folded model from the cfgWeapons

severe marlin
hearty sandal
#

that you dont touch

#

the cfgWeapons Uniform should have suitpack_universal

#

and that suitpack universal should show up on the dummyweapon of the ground holder

severe marlin
hearty sandal
severe marlin
hearty sandal
#

almost all uniforms use same UNIVERSAL suitpack which is retextured with this line

#

this is for the folded uniform

severe marlin
hearty sandal
#

yes

severe marlin
#

So I must give hidden selection and texture same like vehicles

hearty sandal
#

yes

severe marlin
#

The folded models has different texture?

#

Or no

hearty sandal
severe marlin
hearty sandal
severe marlin
hearty sandal
#

do you want the folded uniform look the same as the retextured man?

severe marlin
#

Yes

hearty sandal
severe marlin
#

Can't do copy pasta?

hearty sandal
severe marlin
hearty sandal
#

the textures are not the same

#

so no

#

this is what they look like

#

left the unit man

#

right the folder suit block

severe marlin
#

Well man

#

Thanks

#

It works but invisible

#

It doesn't have texture

hey people, on my custom plane i can't see the wing vortices effects spawning. I do have them defined in the config and also have the respective mem points in the mem lod. So i don't see the reason that prevents them to spawn

is there a way for me to use the ace arsenal export code in a script to set a player's loadout? I am trying to have a few options in my undercover setup for premade kits such as a russian kit, middel east etc and would like to just be able to make a kit in the ace arsenal and export the code. If not then that is fine just will give the basic stuff like uniform vest backpack and headgear and let them change it in the arsenal at spawn

player setUnitLoadout [ [[["TOTT_NSR_300_CTR","TOTT_sandmans_NSR_Tan","TOTT_NSR_Side12_IR","TOTT_romeo4t_g33",["TOTT_PMAG_Tan_30rnd_110_TTSX",30],[],""],["rhs_weap_m72a7","","","",[],[],""],["rhsusf_weap_glock17g4","","acc_flashlight_IR_pistol_RF","",["rhsusf_mag_17Rnd_9x19_FMJ",17],[],""],["jeantee_2_uni",[["ACE_elasticBandage",60],["ACE_MapTools",1],["ACE_tourniquet",4],["ACE_splint",4],["ACE_EarPlugs",2],["ACE_DefusalKit",1],["ACE_EntrenchingTool",1],["ItemAndroid",1],["ACE_CableTie",2],["ACE_IR_Strobe_Item",2],["tsp_lockpick",1],["ACE_Flashlight_XL50",1],["MineDetector",1],["MRH_HackingTool",1],["MRH_SoldierTab",1],["flb_bandana_shades_01_rgr",1],["kat_Painkiller",1,4],["33Rnd_9x19_Mag_RF",1,33],["TOTT_PMAG_Tan_30rnd_110_TTSX",2,30]]],["TFR_JPC_Belt_TL_BLK",[["ACE_surgicalKit",1],["kat_accuvac",1],["ACE_SpraypaintYellow",1],["TOTT_Razor_110_RMR_Geissele",1],["tsp_sling",1],["rhs_mag_m67",2,1],["SmokeShell",4,1],["tsp_flashbang_cts",15,1],["TOTT_PMAG_Tan_30rnd_110_TTSX",11,30]]],["TFR_Scout_BLK",[["kat_TXA",15],["kat_EACA",15],["ACE_bloodIV",8],["kat_AED",1],["kat_IV_16",15],["kat_IO_FAST",15],["kat_larynx",15],["kat_Pulseoximeter",5],["kat_stethoscope",1],["ACE_bloodIV_500",8],["kat_chestSeal",10],["kat_aatKit",5],["flb_opscover_peltor_A_02",1],["ACE_UAVBattery",1],["ItemMavic3X",1]]],"mac_cap_nighttime_coms","flb_glasses_02",["Laserdesignator","","","",["Laserbatteries",1],[],""],["ItemMap","B_UavTerminal","TFAR_anprc152","ItemCompass","ACE_Altimeter","NVGoggles_mas_usl_h18"]],[["aceax_textureOptions",[]],["ace_earplugs",true]]] ];

so that is what I have put but doesnt seem to actually set the loadout to that which is why I am asking

#

unless im missing something

wintry fox
#

Ace arsenal uses "extended loadouts", which is just a vanilla loadout but also has a hashmap attached to it so mods can save extra info. That's what the textureOptions and earplugs part is

trim thorn
#

alright so what would I have to do in order to make it work or would it be easier to just create a unit and do something like

player setUnitLoadout "custom_unit"

wintry fox
#

You can either:

  1. Drop the extended bit (i.e. _loadoutExport select 0) and use that with setUnitLoadout
  2. Convert the extended bit into a hashmap (_loadout set [1, createHashMapFromArray (_loadout select 1)) and pass that to CBA_fnc_setLoadout
#

Pretty much the same results, but if you care about extra info from mods, use the second one

trim thorn
#

so if I did the second option I would just create a var and then put the loadout into the var and do something like this

`_loadout = [[["TOTT_NSR_300_CTR","TOTT_sandmans_NSR_Tan","TOTT_NSR_Side12_IR","TOTT_romeo4t_g33",["TOTT_PMAG_Tan_30rnd_110_TTSX",30],[],""],["rhs_weap_m72a7","","","",[],[],""],["rhsusf_weap_glock17g4","","acc_flashlight_IR_pistol_RF","",["rhsusf_mag_17Rnd_9x19_FMJ",17],[],""],["jeantee_2_uni",[["ACE_elasticBandage",60],["ACE_MapTools",1],["ACE_tourniquet",4],["ACE_splint",4],["ACE_EarPlugs",2],["ACE_DefusalKit",1],["ACE_EntrenchingTool",1],["ItemAndroid",1],["ACE_CableTie",2],["ACE_IR_Strobe_Item",2],["tsp_lockpick",1],["ACE_Flashlight_XL50",1],["MineDetector",1],["MRH_HackingTool",1],["MRH_SoldierTab",1],["flb_bandana_shades_01_rgr",1],["kat_Painkiller",1,4],["33Rnd_9x19_Mag_RF",1,33],["TOTT_PMAG_Tan_30rnd_110_TTSX",2,30]]],["TFR_JPC_Belt_TL_BLK",[["ACE_surgicalKit",1],["kat_accuvac",1],["ACE_SpraypaintYellow",1],["TOTT_Razor_110_RMR_Geissele",1],["tsp_sling",1],["rhs_mag_m67",2,1],["SmokeShell",4,1],["tsp_flashbang_cts",15,1],["TOTT_PMAG_Tan_30rnd_110_TTSX",11,30]]],["TFR_Scout_BLK",[["kat_TXA",15],["kat_EACA",15],["ACE_bloodIV",8],["kat_AED",1],["kat_IV_16",15],["kat_IO_FAST",15],["kat_larynx",15],["kat_Pulseoximeter",5],["kat_stethoscope",1],["ACE_bloodIV_500",8],["kat_chestSeal",10],["kat_aatKit",5],["flb_opscover_peltor_A_02",1],["ACE_UAVBattery",1],["ItemMavic3X",1]]],"mac_cap_nighttime_coms","flb_glasses_02",["Laserdesignator","","","",["Laserbatteries",1],[],""],["ItemMap","B_UavTerminal","TFAR_anprc152","ItemCompass","ACE_Altimeter","NVGoggles_mas_usl_h18"]],[["aceax_textureOptions",[]],["ace_earplugs",true]]];

_loadout set [1, createHashMapFromArray (_loadout select 1);

player setUnitLoadout _loadout;`

?

wintry fox
#

Also if you don't need to set this via script, you can just import the loadout onto the playable units in eden

wintry fox
trim thorn
#

alright so everything but the last line is right just change it to what you just gave

wintry fox
trim thorn
#

tis good thank you for the help much appreciated

#

now time to work on making the kits and setting up a cool down before can go covert again and making the self interaction option not show up for that time

calm pilot

#

question, I am creating a GPS and I don't want a mini-map or radar feature. is there a way to disable it from config or does it have to be in a script in the addon folder?

trim thorn
#

alrigth so this is the whole of the config file but what I am currently trying to do is have a zeus module for setting a player as covert or overt. The modules are not showing up in zeus for me when I go into my eden testing file.

any ideas as to why?

wintry fox
#

Zeus issue is that you probably need to set scopeCurator to 2, I think Module_F has it set to 0 iirc

trim thorn
#

alright let me try adding that line into the code and see if that helps. the wiki didnt have it in the list so yea

trim thorn
#

now just gotta not have the modules stack over top the player that but should just be a simple fix I think

wintry fox
#

Just delete the logic object in your function

#

Example:

/*
 * Authors: DartRuffian
 * Shows a message in the Zeus menu, and then deletes the given logic object.
 *
 * Please provide proper credits to those who participate in development.
 * This function was developed for Legion Studios: Core.
 * Do not place in any other mod without permission.
 *
 * Arguments:
 * 0: Logic <OBJET>
 * 1: Message or stringtable key <STRING>
 *
 * Return Value:
 * None
 *
 * Example:
 * [_logic, "message"] call ls_zeus_fnc_errorAndClose
 *
 * Public: No
 */

params ["_logic", "_message"];

if (isLocalized _message) then {
    _message = localize _message;
};
[objNull, _message] call BIS_fnc_showCuratorFeedbackMessage;

deleteVehicle _logic;

/*
 * Authors: DartRuffian
 * Toggles a unit's active camo.
 *
 * Please provide proper credits to those who participate in development.
 * This function was developed for Legion Studios: Core.
 * Do not place in any other mod without permission.
 *
 * Arguments:
 * 0: Logic <OBJECT>
 *
 * Return Value:
 * None
 *
 * Example:
 * _logic call ls_zeus_fnc_moduleToggleCamo
 *
 * Public: No
 */

params ["_logic"];

if (!local _logic) exitWith {};

private _unit = attachedTo _logic;

private _exit = true;
switch (false) do {
    case (!isNull _unit): {
        [_logic, "Place on a unit"] call FUNC(errorAndClose);
    };
    case (alive _unit): {
        [_logic, "Unit must be alive"] call FUNC(errorAndClose);
    };
    default {
        _exit = false;
    }
};

if (_exit) exitWith {};

// Module specific stuff that isn't relevant here

deleteVehicle _logic;
#

The if (_exit) exitWith {}; was due to some weird issues I was running into where the module wasn't exiting when it should have, but also did make it easier to handle multiple conditions like that

trim thorn
#

ah alright cause right now I just have this for the functions

player setCaptive true;
newLoadout = false;
hint "You are now undercover.";
//checks to see if the player shot while in line of sight of the enemy
player addEventHandler ["Fired", {
    params ["_unit"];
    private _friendlySides = _unit call BIS_fnc_friendlySides;    
    private _units = allUnits select { !(side _x in _friendlySides) };

    if (_units findIf { _x knowsAbout _unit > 1 } > -1) then {
        player setCaptive false;
            hint "You were spotted firing your weapon! You are now OVERT!";
        };
}];

so I would just add in
params ["_logic"]; and deleteVehicle _logic;

Correct?

wintry fox
#

Yeah the logic object (module) is passed to it
You'd also want to get what the module is attached to, because a zeus using that module on another unit would make them a captive

#

Also newLoadout there is global

trim thorn
#

basically creating a undercover thing where you can either go UC with your current kit or have your kit saved and a default one applied to you

the newloadout is a var that is just passed over to the function for you to take off the gear basically just tells it if you need to have your original kit replaced or not

#

could have been named better but was what I came up with in the moment

wintry fox
trim thorn
#

?

wintry fox
#

And if you do for some reason, you should prefix it

#

There's no leading _, that variable is accessible to any script

trim thorn
#

yeah that is how I wanted it to be so that way another script can get that value

wintry fox
#

So save it to the unit (and still add a prefix), because multiple units going undercover would all modify that same newLoadout variable

trim thorn
#

so do something like this then

player setVariable ["TFR_Base_Loadout", _tfrBaseLoadout, false];

rather than how I have it right now

wintry fox
#

Add a prefix to the name

#

And for zeus modules, player isn't going to be the unit you're placing the module on

trim thorn
#

like that

wintry fox
#

Not sure if that's what your intention is or not

trim thorn
#

for the other functions that would work but for the zeus one I assume I would need to do _this rather than player

wintry fox
# trim thorn like that

Yeah, though you can also drop the false because the default is to only set the variable locally

wintry fox
trim thorn
#

so _unit then

wintry fox
trim thorn
#

wait one

wintry fox
#

That also only works if curatorCanAttach is set to 1, which it already is in your config

trim thorn
#

so this would be for the zeus module

params ["_logic"];
private _unit = attachedTo _logic;

player setCaptive true;
private _tfrBaseLoadout = false;
_unit setVariable ["TFR_Base_Loadout", _tfrBaseLoadout];

hint "You are now undercover.";
//checks to see if the player shot while in line of sight of the enemy
player addEventHandler ["Fired", {
    params ["_unit"];
    private _friendlySides = _unit call BIS_fnc_friendlySides;    
    private _units = allUnits select { !(side _x in _friendlySides) };

    if (_units findIf { _x knowsAbout _unit > 1 } > -1) then {
        player setCaptive false;
            hint "You were spotted firing your weapon! You are now OVERT!";
        };
}];

deleteVehicle _logic;
#

it is working

wintry fox
#
  1. Still using player and not _unit in the module and the EH
  2. What's the point of setting _tfrBaseLoadout to false, and then only using it to set a variable on the unit? Why not just setVariable ["", false] directly?
  3. There's no check if the fired event handler has already been added, meaning you could have multiple running. The event handler is also never removed
trim thorn
#

check shouldnt be needed upon doing overt ace interaction you will have the event handler removed

#

this is the two interaction option functions

go covert

player setCaptive true;
player setVariable ["TFR_Base_Loadout", false];
hint "You are now undercover.";
//checks to see if the player shot while in line of sight of the enemy
player addEventHandler ["Fired", {
    params ["_unit"];
    private _friendlySides = _unit call BIS_fnc_friendlySides;    
    private _units = allUnits select { !(side _x in _friendlySides) };

    if (_units findIf { _x knowsAbout _unit > 1 } > -1) then {
        player setCaptive false;
            hint "You were spotted firing your weapon! You are now OVERT!";
        };
}];

Go Overt

player setCaptive false;
if (TFR_Base_Loadout isEqualTo true) then{
    private _oldLoadout = player getVariable ["TFR_Saved_Loadout", []];
        if (!(_oldLoadout isEqualTo [])) then {
        player setUnitLoadout _oldLoadout;
    };
};
player removeEventHandler ["Fired"]; 
hint "You are no longer undercover";
wintry fox
trim thorn
#

didnt think of that so would there just be like an if statement to check it or what would be the best way to check that?

wintry fox
#

Just set a variable on the unit, and only add it if it's not been set

trim thorn
#

so something like this then

Go Covert

player setCaptive true;
player setVariable ["Checked_Fired", true];

player setVariable ["TFR_Base_Loadout", false];
hint "You are now undercover.";
//checks to see if the player shot while in line of sight of the enemy
player addEventHandler ["Fired", {
    params ["_unit"];
    private _friendlySides = _unit call BIS_fnc_friendlySides;    
    private _units = allUnits select { !(side _x in _friendlySides) };

    if (_units findIf { _x knowsAbout _unit > 1 } > -1) then {
        player setCaptive false;
            hint "You were spotted firing your weapon! You are now OVERT!";
        };
}];

Go Overt

player setCaptive false;

I'm using animationSourceElevation to allow FFV turret to rotate the player proxy, so that it can cover the full 360 using Q and E.
I'd like for it to start in the middle of the range, instead of 0. Is that possible? I suppose the other choice might be camElev.

hearty sandal

in the config

#

angle0 and angle1

narrow swallow
# 
angle0 = -rad 360;
angle1 = rad 360;

so it turns right 720, but cannot go left at the start

you could try make it a custom animation source

#

in config.cpp

#

class animations sources

narrow swallow
#

oh like iwht the ::

hearty sandal
#

well you could override it too if you dont need it elsewhere

#

but also it could be alternate one

#

wihout the :: but just something like

#

class newElevtSource
{
source = animationSourceElevation
initphase 0.5
}

#

assuming it goes goes between 0-1

narrow swallow
#

oh interesting, like another step of scaling. I'll try

#

hmm. not having any luck getting a custom source to mirror

//Turrets
animationSourceElevation = "Turn_source";

//AnimationSources
class Turn_source3 {
    source = "Turn_source";
    initPhase  = 1;
};

also tried raw

does anyone know what or how a boat determines its 'safe' to unload units?

I have a test scenario where I use a vanilla armed speedboat and they beach the ship and unload fine, but the modded one they just want to get closer and closer to the shore until they can't move anymore due to being beached

#

and never unload

novel lava
#

figured it out, seems to be caused by the memoryPointsGetInCargo/memoryPointsGetInCargoDir

#

having them too 'low' makes them want to get it closer to shore

novel lava
#

...kind of

nimble sequoia
novel lava
#

Yeah I found my changes to be inconclusive with that

#

they were reasonably high, like 30cm off the ground if the ship is beached

#

I had it working even 1 meter off the ground

#

but it was unreliable, it still seems like the driver thinks the ship isn't close enough to land

nimble sequoia
novel lava
#

I tried copying the one from the speedboat (engineShiftY = -0.1;) but didn't see a change

#

previously it would have been 0, or whatever the inherited value from Boat_F is

nimble sequoia
#

It's a useful number for getting the desired sailing performance and can change how the boat moves under power, especially for high powered small boats like RHIB's where the prow lifts at speed, in my experience. Typically I've used -0.5 to +0.5, trial and error.

novel lava
#

yeah this in particular is an LCVP landing craft

#

and the screw is at the lowest part of the keel so I think at least for this having it raise the front would probably make this worse

#

it seems to behave as expected anyway - it's just the AI insist on putting it as far on land as it can instead of just in shallows

toxic solar
#

for pylons that are like cannons is there way to get GunParticles to show up whereever the pylon is? right now the particle effects play in the center of the geo/center of the vic on ground cause I am assuming the particle effects does not actually know where the pylon weapon is

kinda need some help with this. I am trying to make like a sudo tranquilizer thing. The mod works fine for units that are placed down in eden and the mission runs but if they are zeus spawned then they don't work.

I have a function that adds an event handler for when they are damaged by the ammo type but I need way to have this work on zeus spawned AI as well. Does anyone know what I would need to do in order to get it to work. I have tried this code in both a postInit and XEH_postInit sqf file but they don't seem to work so not sure what the problem is

[
    "CAManBase",
    "EntityCreated",
    {
        params ["_unit"];

        [_unit] spawn {
            params ["_u"];
            waitUntil { !isNull _u };
            sleep 0.1;

            [_u] call Tranq_fnc_onHit;
        };
    }
] call CBA_fnc_addClassEventHandler;
chilly tulip
#

First step would be to add some logging to check what exactly isn't working.

trim thorn
#

I had in there hints to display but they werent event showing

#

I guess first question/s really is this. Is that the best way to go about it and does the code at least look correct?

wintry fox
trim thorn
#

fair but wouldn't be stopping the whole thing would it?

#

units in eden have no problem so rather pretty much just use this as the code then

[
    "CAManBase",
    "init",
    {
        params ["_unit"];

        [_unit] spawn {
            params ["_u"];
            sleep 0.1;

            [_u] call Tranq_fnc_onHit;
        };
    }
] call CBA_fnc_addClassEventHandler;

You don't need that spawn

so just go from parms to _unit call Tranq_fnc_onHit;

Just know that you can't pay people to import things, you can comission a model, not an import

I build the specific boat irl and the designs are mine, i got the model and everything i'd need the config/scripting done

is that considered importing?

you got some bad data in there

is it self made model?

nimble glade

model exported from solidworks into blender, adjusted, added 3 materials with each their texture paa file (static color) and .rvmat file referencing said texture. fixed ngons, only 1 LOD (custom), stuff and exported to p3d (went through fine)

#

this is my rvmat the three files differ just in the color names (blue black white)

is it triangulated?

thats not valid rvmat

for super shader at least

nimble glade

it is triangulated, no ngons

nimble glade

this is the model so its very simple

if you got P drive unpacked right P:\a3\data_f\ has bunch of hte default shaders

this really should need only 1 texture too.

all the colors baked on 1 map

as solidworks exports it only 1 mesh for the blue part and white part i did not know how to make it nice

thats where you will need to learn blender stuff

it's only for internal use anyway so won't ever be released to anyone else

should I spend time helping with that then? Sometimes I wonder. :C

I am always open to paying for good work but apparently with the licensing etc its not allowed

I guess you can test replace your model with just simple non textured cube and see if that packs

simplify until things work

Okay, then it is the article

So, what is unclear or what is not understandable to you

umbral cosmos

Basically they gave me the cake without the instruction on how to do so. Meaning there are no instructions like a step by step. Is it a game logic?

wintry tartan

That means you lack of knowledge how to write a config and pack it into a Mod

umbral cosmos

So it is a mod and not some sort of script?

Yes

#

The game offers a Dynamic Airport object already though. It is used in USS Freedom

I’ve searched for that everywhere even with jets dlc installed

Of course everyone installed Jets DLC

DynamicAirport_01_F it is

It is a vehicle. So just createVehicle it

Greetings,

In my mod config, i define an object of type thing

        scope = 1;
        author = "author";
        destrType = "DestructNo";
        model = "pathToModel.p3d";
        weight = 50;
    };```

However this object doest not have physx applied to it, as commands like `addTorque `do not work on the regular *thing * objects that dont use physx.

I modified the config to include base class *ThingX*, and changed this class to inherit *ThingX * instead of *Thing*. However, in game the object doesnt seem to spawn.

Any ideas on what im doing wrong?
#

Is there something that must be included in the model.p3d object to be able to work with physx?

and well in relation to this, I am doing the config parts for a tank now. the class wheel portion is more or less the same as merkava with the only things I changed are the memory point related stuff., mass and MOI Problem is vehicle caps outs at like 16kmph in VR map so not good.

the weight of the tanks is 50k KG which is lighter then the merkava, I dont think anything in class wheel is a problem, so any suggestions on what I can do to make the tank not cap out at 16kmp, ideally id like it to go 60kmph rather quickly for a tank

Okay

Some things to check there

toxic solar
#

ahd yea tracks deform nicely

nimble sequoia
#

This is how it should look

image.png
#
  • all the wheels are aligned front to back
  • wheel axis are two points, closely spaced, centred
  • boundary points are directly under the wheel axis
  • sprocket wheels (0 and 9) have their boundary points 90 degrees up
toxic solar
#

So just looking at first wheel (that touches ground)
center="wheel_1_1_axis"; is one point, it should be two?
boundary="wheel_1_1_bound"; is directly under that one point of wheel_1_1_axis

nimble sequoia
toxic solar
nimble sequoia
#

Try moving those wheel 0 and 9 boundary points, if nothing else. Move them to same height as axis, and possibly bring them in slightly closer than edge of wheel

toxic solar
#

but could the suspension here really be the reason why the vehicle caps out at 20kmph? I had tried some crazy values before and having these the tanks goes kinda wat I would like it to go

normalSpeedForwardCoef = 0.7;
slowSpeedForwardCoef = 0.35;
maxSpeed = 100;
enginePower = 3000; //1121
maxOmega = __EVAL((19000 * 2 * PI) / 60);
minOmega = __EVAL((1000 * 2 * PI) / 60);
peakTorque = 15000;
idleRPM    = 1000;
redRPM    = 19000;

now I dont like that the rpm is 19k so thats wat I guess im tryna fix

toxic solar
#

the two sprocket wheels

nimble sequoia
#

As I said, it could be any one of 20 different things. We're 1/3rd through the list

toxic solar
#

ah okay

#

we might have to resume later since its 7:15 and alas I must leave for work soon sunglasscry

nimble sequoia
#

When I see something you're doing that is not how I do it, I'll point it out for you to try

toxic solar
#

so move wheel 0 boundery to black line or to red line?

image.png
nimble sequoia
#

Can you see it on my screenshot?

toxic solar
#

that red one is boundery?

image.png
nimble sequoia
#

yes

toxic solar
#

ah okay

#

Okay i moved them, ill try now

nimble sequoia
#

I have to go too, but no doubt someone else can offer help if I'm not here.
Next to try would be additional config stuff, such as engine power, omega's and torque curves.

toxic solar
#

oh and I am on dev branch ill see if anything in rpt logs

toxic solar
#

its lighter hten merkava so should go faster

#

I guess something in p3d is wrong

nimble sequoia
#

The physx of your p3d is totally different though, including wheel mem points

toxic solar
#

ah okay

#

thank u for now ill fix the axis memepoints and get back then

Check what is set for driverCompartments (main config) and gunnerCompartments (turret).
You have confirmed that the get-in memory points exist, are raised above the ground a bit and are spelled correctly?

untold stream
#

Is there any documentation for missile configs? I was making my own and it was working but it wouldn't lock anything farther than 5km, and it was taking forever to lock.

true fossil
untold stream
true fossil
#

The lock speed / timing is under the weapon cfg as weaponLockDelay

chilly tulip
#

missileLockMaxDistance for the other thing, although I imagine you found that.

untold stream
#

well its not locking

#

at all

#

but when it was working it only worked at like 5km

chilly tulip
#

You have object view distance set high enough?

untold stream
#

like 20k

untold stream
#

ahhhh i broke it more

#

is there a place where I can find the vanilla amramms full thing and edit it?

tepid stratus
hearty sandal
#

though cant edit it there.

#

there is also all in one config dump file in the pins that can be used as reference

#

you would need to create an additional mod that alters things

#

instead of editing the original files

does anyone know how i can disable the secondary explosion on a tracked vehicle? there arent any explosions on static turrets, which also use tankx simulation, but i dont get why. i have probably disabled everything i could find related to explosions, yet, after a few seconds of being destroyed, my vehicle will spawn an explosion

#

hullDamageCauseExplosion = 1; ok, i missed this. let's test..

hearty sandal
brazen merlin
#

yes, -1

hearty sandal
#

also does it have fuel?

brazen merlin
#

it has 0 fuel

hearty sandal
#

destruction effects?

brazen merlin
#

class DestructionEffects{};

#

i even commented out all of the hitpoints, still

nimble sequoia
brazen merlin
#

i have another idea

#

yeah

#

i just thought of that

#

currently i am using destrType = "DestructDefault";

#

however, static 50 cal is using the same, and that one doesnt explode either

#

ok, as expected, with DestructNo it doesnt get destroyed anymore at all, which is also not what i want 🥲

#

arma is really testing me again today

nimble sequoia
brazen merlin
#

sure

nimble sequoia
#

some people are hard to please

nimble sequoia
brazen merlin
#

hmm. let's try

#

nope, still boom

#

oh wait

#

i am inheriting. let's remove that

#

nope, not it

nimble sequoia
#

You're testing without ACE loaded?

brazen merlin
#

yes, i dont have / use ace

#

let's see what happens if i inherit from static weapons instead of tank_f

#

ok, it stopped exploding. now i need to figure out the why

#

or maybe i'll just keep it as static weapon.. since everything else still seems to be working as intended..

hearty sandal
#

technically it could even be related to parent class

#

like how invisible helipads work 😅

brazen merlin
#

hm. indeed.

#

i'm too tired for this stuff now 😄 i don't want to work through another night again, it's getting a little tough

brazen merlin
#

you know, maybe that really is the case. because while the other big statics like that AA thing cast fire, they do not explode either

Is there any way to set a weapon to always spawn with a scope? I have a p3d of a weapon with no ironsight so want it to always spawn with some form of scope on it (prefferably from an array)

alright I need some help with this as its my first time trying this so yeah. I am trying to make a UI popup when you place down a module for inputs from the player on different things. The config code is below along with the fnc code. I am not sure if I have this setup right at all but please could use some help with this.

Currently I get an error when I place the module down that tells me the variables are undefined which makes sense as there as never a prompted for inputting values

so its a zeus module im not sure line wise I saw line 35 for the function but it jumps to different lines

would it be causing an issue if I play it in singleplayer from eden

My config.cpp in the root folder called ess_myscript

        };
        weapons[] = {};

    };
};

in the root folder there is a folder called Functions that contains the file fnc_myscript.sqf

I get the error: "Script ess_myscript\Functions\fnc_myscript.sqf not found"

Can someone point out what I am doing wrong? I can't figure out functions

#

fnc_myscript.sqf does not do anything at the moment I just want to get rid of the not found error first.

#

Check the PBO's pboprefix

#

Or rather, how do you pack the PBO

slow vortex
#

ess_myscript being the root folder.

#

The pbo is then placed in a local mod @MyLocalMod/Addons

wintry tartan
slow vortex
wintry tartan
#

Then your PBO might not include your SQF properly

#

Addon Builder, Options, there should be a option for included files

slow vortex
#

Well I no longer get the error, so hopefully its fixed.

#

It works, thank you so much for the help! @wintry tartan

#

Not sure what specifically it was but just re-did all of the Addon builder options and it seems to have fixed

#

AB is anyways a bad builder. AKA Addon Breaker

#

Disregard, somehow fixed it by inheriting from a different class

Not sure why you're using a pellet shotshell as your parent class when vanilla already has slug shells (B_12Gauge_Slug_NoCartridge) that you can inherit from.

uh, what makes you think the engine speed is the 2nd number? In the examples it'd have to be the first number.

#

33% engine speed -> 100% torque.

Heyo, got some questions if someone has time and knowledge on how to work with Modules [I already went through the wiki]:

Context:

I set the module via isGlobal to fire even for JiP players but it only seems to work on mission initialization, and I can't for the life of me figure out what is causing it or how to set it up right if I fucked something up.

if it may help here is the config:
https://github.com/Nomas-X/AET_AUX/blob/3332f41e52393a7dc04caa50fed064282d0b52dc/addons/start_in_vehicle/CfgVehicles.hpp

The init function it self seems to work fine when I run it through debug.

need a little help i think (just posted this in scripting but its probably more of a config thing) - i've put together bespoke hitpoints for a unit, it works as intended for the most part, but there is a particular issue when it comes to speciifc hitpoints that are designed to be weakspots affected by small-arms fire; against which small arms do appear to deal damage - however the damage dealt appears to just stop at something like 0.15, with further hits dealing no further damage to that specific hitpoint - i cant really tell which config variable could be affecting that or if the "getallhitpointsdamage" command im using to monitor it can display it wrong

You gave an answer why it doesn't work
"i got this config from ai"

Don't remember !quote,

Do not use any ai to sqf.
It just doesn't know how it works.

#

well i gave my config to modify it

#

it did kind of a decent job

#

like the editor objects spawn and have the texture

#

but the wearable object dosent have the texture and uses the vanilla textures

#

to befair idont know how to do SQF myself

#

so

wheat sluice
#

it did kind of a decent job

If AI were capable of doing a "decent" job, then it would know that making a brand new base class when all you're doing is making additional texture variants of existing hats is plain dumb and utterly redundant.

Like everyone else said, please don't use AI to write configs. Chuck your full config on pastebin or something so that we can actually check it for you.

What parameter can I change in an ammo class to adjust the in-flight sound? Missile inherits from KH58 but I can't find any relavent parameter in the config viewer.

# tacit zealot What parameter can I change in an ammo class to adjust the in-flight sound? Mis...

soundFly[]

The KH-58 ARM technically has it defined but no sound file was assigned. The majority of missile-based ordnance from the Jets and Tanks DLC don't have in-flight sounds for whatever reason so they remain completely silent.
If you want an example of how the array is defined, see M_PG_AT (DAGR) or M_Titan_AT_long (Titan Missile).

BIKI article: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/CfgWeapons_Config_Reference#soundFly[]
(pay no attention to the article being titled as CfgWeapons; the token is actually used for CfgAmmo)

tacit zealot

awesome thanks

#

Is it possible to make it use a soundset? Want to use a jet engine soundset for a jet powered missile

AFAIK there's no token for that (only for explosions). So you'd have to do some magic with event handlers.

How do you make an object be able to use something like ACE carry but not a requirement if you dont want to use ACE?

molten musk
wintry fox
#

If it's the second, just set the ace_dragging_canCarry (or canDrag) variable on the object to true. Or set the same properties in the object's config. Neither setting a variable or just a config entry would create a dependency.

Is it not possible to force magazines/items into a characters vest by config? Or to script it so that when those characters get spawned at mission start, all of the items get moved to the vest automatically as like an EH or something?

#

I know its possible to do with basic scripting but this is for player roles that need to be there at start.

#

But no, you cannot move items into specific slots via config

#

They just get put wherever they fit and allowedSlots allows them to be placed

                linkProxy="\a3\data_f\proxies\weapon_slots\muzzle";
            };```


How would i make that gun compatible with every other asdg_muzzleslot_338 item plus the one described at the top?

And is it possible to make that suppressor a "real" asdg_muzzleslot_338 item? Or with other words..is it possible to make it compatible with other guns without putting it in an compatibleItems array in every single config?

More than likely, you want to add your new items to the asgd_muzzleslot_338 class

if its plane you are making you could try move the nose pylon way back so pylon model is hidden inside the plane

cobalt topaz
hearty sandal
#

you could just have configured integrated weapons instead of pylons for the nose gun

#

Im pretty sure it has some weapons configured

#

or you can look at vanilla configs via in game config viewer (leopards advanced viewer is better for that) or you can find a all in one config dump from pins

well you can study the other vehicle types too and vanilla configs to see how weapons are configured

I haven't done submunition configs, so this is just a guess
Could be from a combination of velocity passthrough and the model direction of the first grenade
It doesn't look to be very convenient, since grenades rotate in midair iirc

novel lava
#

the problem is you're changing to shotSubmunitions which iirc is based on shotshell, the model direction is 'fixed' upon firing

#

so when the submunition spawns it's basically recreating the same arc it had when it was thrown

#

leave the simulation type as shotGrenade

oof yeah I forgot triggerTime doesn't work for shotgrenade for reasons

Hello all, I'm trying to fix an IR laser pointer issue but can't seem to locate the origin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's a secondary laser pointer named an Izlid, and from my perspective - the view looks fine. But others see my laser originate from the ground, which obviously defeats the purpose. From the wiki/drawLaser, I can't really find anything wrong with the current config.

I've been trying to get the usaf moab to work with the USAF cargo planes but I've been struggling to get it to work. I changed the .sqf for usaf_moab_init.sqf to reflect the two cargo planes:

#

Line 3: _moabPlanes = ["USAF_C130J_Cargo", "USAF_C17"];

#

and in the config for the moab I edits the lines to this:

# 
                priority=0.5;
                shortcut="";
                condition="count (nearestObjects [this, (this getvariable 'MOABPlanes'), 50]) > 0 && (getDammage this) < 0.5";
                statement="nul = this spawn USAF_LOADMOAB";
                displayNameDefault="";
                position="actionpoint";
                radius=10;
                onlyforplayer=0;
#

Right now I'm not getting any errors but the MOAB has no "load moab option"

#

I managed to get it to have the option before but then it would throw errors and no work

#

I have the moab within 50 meters of the aircraft but I'm not sure what I'm messing up in the code

#

if you need I can send the files

hi, can anyone help me to make a custom config for a model so that my radar jammer actually works in game , which tools i need to use

willow garnet
#

Hello guys I'm trying to get my custom compositions inside an addon. AI has been unable to get me there, this is the minimalistic example of my config.cpp.

class CfgEditorCategories {
    class GOL_GuerrillasOfLiberation {
        displayName = "GOL Guerrillas of Liberation";
    }; 
};

class CfgEditorSubcategories {
    class GOL_Subcat_Bases {
        displayName = "Bases & Camps";
    };
};

class Cfg3DEN {
    class Compositions {
        class TEST_MyComposition {
            path = "configs/LARs/compositions/Ammocamp"; // This folder does NOT need to exist for the entry to show up!
            side = 8; // Ensures it appears under Props
            editorCategory = "GOL_GuerrillasOfLiberation "; // Built-in default category
            editorSubcategory = "GOL_Subcat_Bases "; // Built-in default subcategory
            displayName = "TEST: My Composition";
            icon = "\A3\ui_f\data\map\markers\nato\b_support.paa";
        };
    };
};````

Even if the path is wrong, I should still be able to see the composition in Eden right? There's of course good information on the forums, which obviously have been abandoned 😄 so there's little information regarding this. Any help would be insanely appreciated 🙏

I am assuming this is more config related then memory point on model, the flare points on the tank are at right spots, but the lights are coming out of the center it appears. However if in config I only do left side, the lights out of the left side, is there something im missing?

#

This is just a generalized question, but does scripting with in game tasks (the objective markers like BI uses in singleplayer) have a tendency to break when a server is on the profiling branch? I’ve been noticing it in some ops recently

chilly tulip
#

Nothing like that has been reported.

obsidian bay
#

Interesting, I’ve noticed it across a few ops in separate units

#

Namely tasks not completing when they should

chilly tulip
#

Task completion is just scripting, but the task system needs to broadcast data for clients to see the results.

obsidian bay
#

Because it was an op that worked previously on the public branch and then developed these issues on profiling with seemingly no changes

chilly tulip
#

Well, if the guaranteed queue was completely jammed then no-one would see task changes. But I'd expect you to notice other issues in that case.

#

So no. The server operator would need to investigate the issue.

Are you inheriting from any pistol base classes? It might carry over from there. I do see these entries in the P07?

does this error point to an wrong base class? or is it some kind of syntax error?

image.png
#

because that base class is existent in the sps mod?!

image.png
#

i guess syntax somehow becaus how would cfgconvert know about other mods?!

chilly tulip
#

I'm not sure what its existence in a giant list of strings is supposed to mean.

#

Generally you have to re-declare any external base classes you're using, for example:

class CfgVehicles {
    class VTOL_Base_F;
    class VTOL_01_base_F: VTOL_Base_F
    {
    
    };
};
wheat sluice
# still owl i guess syntax somehow becaus how would cfgconvert know about other mods?!

CfgConvert doesn't have the ability to check if an external class reference exists or not.
It does however, warn you with this EOF error if you attempted to inherit from an external class that you didn't declare in your own config.
From the looks of it, you probably attempted to write this in your config patch:

    class CfgWeapons
    {
        class new_hk416_16_base: sps_hk416_16_5_sl_fde_f
        {
            ... blah blah blah ...
        };
    };

But you did not declare sps_hk416_16_5_sl_fde_f as your external reference (like what John Jordan said above):

    class CfgWeapons
    {
        class sps_hk416_16_5_sl_fde_f;
        class new_hk416_16_base: sps_hk416_16_5_sl_fde_f
        {
            ... blah blah blah ...
        };
    };
#

Just having your own config patch specify the original addon in its requiredAddons[] is not enough. Declaring the external class reference is still required.

still owl
#

dang it....thank you @wheat sluice

#

and John Jordan, too

#

i was wondering why it was working for "sps_hk416_16_5_sl_vfg_fde_f" but not "sps_hk416_16_5_sl_fde_f" ....seems i forgot to add that reference

#

#

I'm trying to use a gunparticle effect on my pistol, why do i get this message ?

image.png
#

When i type getText(configFile >> "CfgCloudlets" >> "IARTS_BlackPowderCloud" >> "texture") the answer is correct

#

which means the cfgcloudlet is correctly defined

#

the effect is defined in CfgWeapons like this C++ class GunParticles { class IARTS_BlackPowderCloud { positionName = "gunparticle"; directionName = "gunparticle_dir"; effectName = "IARTS_BlackPowderCloud"; }; };

wintry fox
#

Because it's looking for a class defined in config root

#

GunParticles uses complex effects, not a CfgCloudlets class

Hello, first time I post here..
Someone can help me with this little config ?

Advanced flight model works if put inside RotorLibHelicopterProperties

RTDconfig="A3\Air_F\Heli_Light_02\RTD_Heli_Light_02.xml";

But it doesn't work if I put this:

RTDconfig ="ffaa_heli\addons\ffaa_uh_1h\data\rtd\rtd_ffaa_uh_1h.xml";

route is double, triple checked .. I even move the RTD_Heli_Light_02.xml to that path and doesn't like it.

I start thinkg that is the "ArmA 3 Addon Builder" tool. Any help ? Thank you in advance.

Nop, I will check it

then { systemChat "El fichero existe"; }
else { systemChat "El fichero no existe";}

Result: File doesn't exists

#

I have checked with an image, it is detecting the paa file, but not the xml. So why? it is because it is binarized ? because xml doesn't get copied?

winter rain
#

probably it gets excluded, check options.. pboProject excludes also if you dont set it up correctly

winter rain
jagged basin
#

Thank you, was the file, didn’t get copied because of the filter, and also combined with a faulty xml. Now it is working.

So again, thank you very much.

is there a way to have a submunition instantly fire, tried having the triggerTime set to something like 0.000000001 but it seems to wait at least a second before triggering

chilly tulip
#

Hmm. Check out how the shotgun pellets are implemented maybe.

coral knoll
#

those are set to 0.008 and they seem to have the same issue, the line showing the main bullet goes for about a second before stopping

chilly tulip
#

That implies that it's generating the submunitions well before then?

when i checked in the ingame config viewer that was there and i couldnt see it being overwritten by anything but it was also the only thing that was there

so im going to go back through the parents and make sure ive inherited properly

nimble sequoia
#

When you say the only thing that was there, you mean the turret class was empty apart from that one line?
Definitely an inheritance error in that case.
Try using mikero's pboProject to pack, rather than Addon Builder, to get some error checking.

And can you pls tell me how to load custom mods

I am using -mod=@example in launch options

its part of the mission editor

to see if mod is loaded you can check the rpt log file

Arma RPT

Arma generates a .rpt log file each time it's run, which contains a lot of information like the loaded mods, or any errors that appear, this log file can be very useful for troubleshooting problems.

To get to your RPT files press Windows+R and enter %localappdata%/Arma 3

Additionally see the wiki page for more info: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Crash_Files

To share an rpt log here, please use a website like https://pastebin.com/ (Set expiry time to 1 week or less) to upload the full log, that way the people helping you can take a look at it and try to figure out the problem you're having together with you.
Note: RPT logs can hold personal information relevant to your system, the game or others.

youll need a @yourmod folder and the @yourmod\addons\ folder where you put your pbo in

then you add the @yourmod as local mod into the modlist

so first youll need to figure out if your inheritance structure is correct to begin with

#

simplest you can do without extra mods is to make missions on full moon

#

or use the setaperture etc post process effects via scriptiin

thats my first try the do any mods and I dont know exactly what should I do

#

changing lightin is not easy

setting date on fullmoon night or playing with the aperture commands is far easier

or can an additional mod not remove the compatibleItems array if set in the original mod?

It will remove , it define your adgs_MuzzleSlot_762 to {} empty with second picture.
You want use same for your sniper?
