Hey guys,
if got this model.cfg and my model does not stick to the back of my character.
What do I have to fix for it it work?

Can't find one in the Arma Samples
So I tried using the sample config and it does not solve my problem.

hi all, i have a vehicle i’d like for people to be able to getin even if it’s moving. is there a way to specify the acceptable minspeed or something like that?

@low token Arma 3 Samples\Addons\Test_Character_01\model.cfg

Yeah I tried that, it did not solve the problem, but thanks
vital torrent
what did you try exactly
basically you have to swap A3_headgear_example with your p3d name
low token
Yes that's what I did.

selection in the model?

Yes

Does anyone know if it's possible to configure a plane to fly veeeeery slowly (5m/s) while maintaining altitude and also be able to do PRECISE 90 degrees turns
(no smoothing)

Maybe have a look at the Vtol config

I'm asking for this https://cldup.com/G_ulhzWHMe.mp4
it works, it also is sync'ed in MP with server sending over the positions at regular intervals
BUT
all of the vehicles are local
so all the get in / get out / eject work only for the player itself, while they see the other players floating in the air
so I'm thinking to use a global vehicle instead, however I have no idea how to make a vehicle "float" and make extremely precise turns
hence:
is there a way to make a "hovering" vehicle?

is there a way to add conditions to assembleInfo
this thing can be assembled inside cars

summer moat
@viral rapids that is the same as using setVelocity or various equivalents
summer moat
it doesn't hover though, how do you compute the necessary force to keep it STEADY up
viral rapids
Read the Description
Link to Example script is in there.
summer moat
i am reading it dscha
and i'm also trying it
i might be applying it wrongly, but it is not overing, it just... woggles
viral rapids
Remove lines 45-49. That was testinger stuff (the Ropes part)
viral rapids
No clue what you do
summer moat
i copied pasted your script and called the object that I want to hover OBJECT in my mission.
viral rapids
Is it a PhysX Object?
summer moat
anyway, if this uses draw3d i'm back to the same problem
i need it to work in mp
i already have all of my system working in MP
viral rapids
Do you even read it?
/////Optional:```Anyway, no clue what you do, other tried it before and it worked for them. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
summer moat
I took that away
viral rapids
Test it with a Crate
summer moat
ok
viral rapids
Could be the Plane Simulation stuff, that borks it (iirc i haven't used anything else, except a Crate/simple PhysX Object)
summer moat
same result
- put a
CargoNet_01_box_Fin a mission, named itOBJECT
- put this object above the ground,
- run the code on
init.sqfexcept the last optional part
start the mission, it flies away and disappears
viral rapids
No clue ¯_(ツ)_/¯
summer moat
am i supposed to use it differenlty from what I just stated?
viral rapids
That Codesnippet is for EditorConsole (and only an example of how it can work/be used)
More or less just copy Line 9-58, past it in the COnsole, Local, done
Not much someone can do wrong in there
Anyway, further stuff: #arma3_scripting
summer moat
ok, it has been used successfully by others, not much anyone can do wrong about this script, got it
thanks for sharing
@viral rapids here https://drive.google.com/open?id=1mTe4q3FzmgvobfN6TIY5LynxXVho1egK
that's the working thing
viral rapids
Don't have Arma installed =}

interesting
then unfortunately this script doesn't work anymore.
will see if it's an easy fix.

Is there a way to make a UAV not usable to anyone with a UAV terminal?
I.e the CRAM that came with the jets DLC, I want it to be there on the map but I dont want players to be able to select it from the list

Have anyone a idea to create after bullets a particle effect? Can i create a new Magazine in the config with particle effect?

it's what is used for the bubbles on the underwater rifle
but that particular effect (class AmmoUnderwater) has a condition enabled = "(distToSurface - 1) * (-1)"; so that it only shows under water

What is the root when loading images throught the text parameter when creating gui elements?
currently I am using the form text = "\ModName\Addons\AddonName\Data\image.paa"; But that is just displaying the text literally not the image
untold temple
try getting rid of the leading \
untold temple
unless they have a pboprefix defining it as such
jade brook
The root for most entries is a virtual addons folder made up of all the addons folders of all components, vanilla or mod.
@mod\addons
should never be used in such paths.
grand sundial
Thank you building now 🤞
I still can't get it to work. If I had Image.paa directly inside the folder being built into the pbo what would I write?
jade brook
@mod

What tools?
grand sundial
what do you mean by tools?

What tools do you use to binarize the folder

No, but I have just checked and it is already there

Of course the pbo file has a name too...

I just checked out the screenshot.
I know what's wrong.
untold temple
style = ST_PICTURE;``` do these require defines?You don't actually use a RscPicture. You recreate the config yourself and made a RscText
Because the macros are undefined.
What Monkey said.
You need to include the header file with the macro defined...
Let me search...
#include "\a3\ui_f\hpp\defineResincl.inc"
This in line 1 of your config.
It should be the right one.
Sadly I don't have Arma on this machine.
grand sundial
Okay testing that now
jade brook
They name the folder "hpp", but the files ".inc". This is baffling.
jade brook
Yes, but you entered the picture path as "text" too. Don't argue with Czech programming.
1,1,1,1 means all channels full, not necessarily white when the picture itself isn't white.
1,0,0,1 would mean tint the picture red for example.
jade brook
Yey

Thank you so much

This was more painful than it had to be.

Is there any setting anywhere with controls how fast vehicles get refueled/rearmed/repaired when next to service vehicles? I don't like how fast it is in vanilla.
stoic lily
i think its related to cost of the vehicle
barren umbra
I would love to have more control over this
wise fog
I think reconfig with a mod or you would have to do some script magic is the only way
barren umbra
@wise fog But reconfig what exactly? That is the problem, what to change to slow down repair/rearm/refuel process?
stoic lily
disable that system and script a custom one instead
wise fog
Would change the cost if kju is right
A custom one would most likely be the best and easiest result though
barren umbra
@stoic lily Oh, I think you are under erroneous assumption that I'm able to script anything 😛
I just want to slightly adjust he vanilla system
wise fog
Would be easier to just learn and script rather then mess with BIs stuff 😂
strange egret
cost doesnt just affect refuel time. It also affects AI calculation
so unless you want to screw everything else, dont touch it.
super shitty but thats arma... legacy bullshit
wise fog
Good to know on both information - thanks
barren umbra
I really liked the system they have in the Support multiplayer game mode. The service you get on the helipad is really nice. Also the vanilla services do not work if you start a local server from a launcher and join it (so you can split the cores), it just does not function in that case.

Anyone able to point me in the right direction for adding more seats to a helicopter and adjusting the co pilot position? For A2 UH-1H Huey
balmy sable
You need to modify the .p3d for that.
fast mica
Same with adjusting the co pilot seat? @balmy sable
balmy sable
Yeap, the positions are set by special triangles in the .p3d file ("proxies").
fast mica
Oooo okay, this'll be a fun learning curve 😄
balmy sable
If you have a look at some of the tutorials for Object Builder/O2 you'll be able to get started on that (unless you want to learn a 3D modelling package like Blender).
Almost every useful object in Arma uses proxies so whichever tutorial makes the most sense should be fine.
untold temple
you can adjust the position by making new animations too. The proxy triangles just act as the centre coordinate for the animation
so if you increase the offsets in the .rtm, unit moves the same distance as if you'd moved the proxy
fast mica
Okay cool, I'll have to play around with it
boreal heart
Does the Pylon loadouts only apply to airvehicles?
What if a land vehicle is capable of swapping out AA and Rocket pods for example?
barren umbra
@fast mica In CUP we already added more seats to the UH-1H (up to 13 cargo, from 4), but you do need unbinarized p3d to add more proxies
fast mica
Got the A2 samples which're unbinarized @barren umbra
barren umbra
@fast mica Not sure what you need to do to make it work in A3, I didn't make the conversion. I only added some extra seats
fast mica
I've managed to rewrite the configs with the test helicopter config, it legitimately works which is fab. I only need to work out how to add more seats and ideally a few seats people can fire from
barren umbra
It's not that hard really, you just copy the proxies from other seats and make sure they are named correctly and positioned where you want them, you just need to put those proxies on all of the lods. You can look at CUP's UH-1H config to check how the FFV seats are done, those are just config stuff, they use the seat proxies
fast mica
Yeah seems easy enough, I gotta play and grasp the object builder
fast mica
@barren umbra With my seat dilemma, it seems as if the seats are all there actually. ( I think it's because I'm looking for the different named options like the other mod helis, gotta test it some more)
Slightly reassuring but I've now noticed the rotors don't spin 😂

You could have both memorypoint and cfg issues... I can't think of any turret config tutorials. Best bet is to look at the A3 samples and arma 3 cfg's for different turrets. As well as https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Turret_Config_Reference

Wow that copy paste came out shit haha, but you get the idea
mint pike
oww ok
thanks
and then whatever the "CUSTOMCLASSNAME" is i put in the "weapons[] =" of the unit script im assuming?
boreal heart
From my experience you dont need that for custom factions
mint pike
yeah, but i want the gun for the custom faction to have set attachments
ile throw this in and give it a shot, see if it works
boreal heart
What you do with the above CUSTOMCLASSNAME is just put that into your soldier config and they will have the weapon

does anyone know how to remove camshake on crewmen?

distance = -1;
};
class CamShakePlayerFire
{
power = -1;
duration = -1;
frequency = -1;

};
i've tried this, as basically my grenadelauncher ammo is inheriting from a grenade with camshake on it
and i cannot for the life of me remove it on my vehicle grenade launcher ammo
i tried using delete on the class and that wouldnt work
ive triedsetting the values to -1 in case that might have worked
it seems i might have to go all the way back up the inheritance tree and change my bases to avoid this feature being established in the first place
what happens as a result is that the grenade launcher, fired fro mthe cobra nose, is causing the pilot view to shake all over the place
camshakefire appears to be passing on default values to the pilot
and i can't stop it
anyone ever attempted to fix this issue?
hot pine
simple 0 is not working?
livid heath
testing
i had used 0 before to no effect
BUT i just looked again at the configviewer and it seems some of the default values have been changed recently, so am resetting to defaults with 0 power
nimble sequoia
@grand zinc We're using A3_Data_F_Loadorder, which includes A3_Weapons_F, of which srifle_EBR_F is a member. With this questioning over the requiredAddons, can I take it that the actual inheritance code I posted looks correct to people?

Isn't the EBR marksman dlc?

grand zinc
I don't know if your code is perfectly correct. But I don't see anything wrong
nimble sequoia
Can you double check for me that I'm correct in saying that srifle_EBR_F is in A3_Weapons_F please?
grand zinc
Yeah I'll check. In the meantime. Can you answer my question?
nimble sequoia
I don't know if it's a marksman dlc weapon.
I don't think it is, looking through the list
srifle_EBR_F = "Mk18 ABR 7.62 mm"
Marksman DLC = Cyrus, ASP-1, Mk-1 EMR, SPMG, Mar-10, Mk14, Navid

jade brook
Let me check srifle_EBR_F
stoic lily
@nimble sequoia UK3CB_BAF_L129A1
this is the source you have to start looking
its defined in two configs
jade brook
class srifle_EBR_F: EBR_base_F //inherits 37 parameters from bin\config.bin/CfgWeapons/EBR_base_F, sources - ["A3_Weapons_F_LongRangeRifles_EBR"]
and one is loading before the second, while it should be the other way around
jade brook
There, you need A3_Weapons_F_LongRangeRifles_EBR for this one, not A3_Data_F_Loadorder.
stoic lily
Updating base class ->srifle_EBR_F, by uk3cb_baf_weapons\addons\UK3CB_BAF_Weapons_L129\config.bin/CfgWeapons/UK3CB_BAF_L129A1/
nimble sequoia
ok, let me think
stoic lily
this says:
config 1: class UK3CB_BAF_L129A1;
config 2: class UK3CB_BAF_L129A1: srifle_EBR_F
so it tells you it goes from no parent to srifle_EBR_F
jade brook
Yep, add A3_Weapons_F_LongRangeRifles_EBR to required addons and it's fixed.
stoic lily
either config 1 is wrong defined, or you need to fix the load order (1 to depend on 2 via requiredAddons)
@nimble sequoia dont think - but use agent ransack or similar search tool to scan your configs
nimble sequoia
I'm thinking about commy2's suggestion...
jade brook
The all in one config says which config you need to require.
stoic lily
they talk nonsense - ignore them 😃
stoic lily
you can verify it by checking the order of your cfgPatches class in a config dump
it will show the actual load order and tell you currently your config 1 is loaded before 2
nimble sequoia
commy2 says add A3_Weapons_F_LongRangeRifles_EBR to requiredAddons fixes it... but A3_Data_F_Loadorder includes this class
stoic lily
yes thats not the problem
as said ignore his point here. its not relevant
these warnings are to tell you about inheritance mismatch - aka the parser finds something strange when it builds the complete config tree in memory

Updating base class ->LIB_Truck_base, by WW2\Core_f\alarm9k_SmarterTanks_f\config.bin/CfgVehicles/LIB_SdKfz222_base/ (original WW2\Core_f\alarm9k_SmarterTanks_f\config.bin)
if you run the dev branch exe, it also tells you the second config it found not matching
however you need to find the first one
in my case this happened as the first config had requiredAddons[] = {}; and thus was loaded first with doing class LIB_SdKfz222_base; while it has to be loaded last/after the actual vehicle configs
jade brook
Shrug. You should've just posted the full config with the CfgPatches.

jade brook
´magazines[]` isn't actually a thing btw. No idea where that came from.
nimble sequoia
No idea either, it's not actually 'my' config, but I am trying to fix it.
jade brook
Are there two definitions of UK3CB_BAF_L129A1 in the source code?
nimble sequoia
This is what the nested cfgPatches comes down to:
requiredAddons[] = {
"A3_Data_F_Loadorder",
"cba_xeh",
"cba_jr"
};
We use that in all our mods, and it seems to work everywhere else, so I'll be surprised if it's just wrong for this one weapon.
jade brook
Can you ctrl+f the folder for class UK3CB_BAF_L129A1 ?
Looks like there two configs with that weapon and one isn't requiring the original, but only uses it as reference.
nimble sequoia
Could be - I'll try to check that.
I think that's what kju was suggesting - check for 2 definitions of the weapon class with differing inheritance? I guess they'd need to be in different files for that to happen.
jade brook
That's what I suspect, but it would mean that the rpt message is very unhelpful in claiming some config as the original which obviously isn't the original.
Or are there multiple configs in that pbo?
nimble sequoia
No, just the one config, that's what is confusing me. But I'm running a full pack of pbo's, so am going to remove as much as possible and check the rpt's again.
jade brook
Throw it on github and it's fixed in 5mins.
nimble sequoia
Having removed other weapon pbo's the error has gone, so it does look like there is another erroneous definition somewhere in one of the other pbo's.
jade brook
Is there UK3CB_BAF_L129A1 in that other pbo?
nimble sequoia
That's what I'll be looking for (later today), but it's a very big pack, so not a quick job.
jade brook
I can just search with sublime text through a folder of files and it takes like a minute on this 7 yo laptop for BWA3.
jade brook
If you find:
class UK3CB_BAF_L129A1;
in any of those config patches, you need to add the origin on UK3CB_BAF_L129A1 which is UK3CB_BAF_Weapons_L129 to requiredAddons of that config patch.
This is why we put all rifles into one config for BWA3...

A question about RscPicture controls. Is there any flag that can be used (in either style or type) that changes scaling behavior on an image. Im aware you can set it to clip, repeat or fit, but I was wondering if you change from LERP to nearest or just don't smooth
livid heath
so the vehicleclass "Mines" is hardcoded. who knew?
if you make a new class of mine, be sure to keep this vehicleclass, or else placing the vehicle part of the mine in the editor or mission will result in non-working behaviour
just had to clone an apersmine and then gradually introduce my changes (model, ammo, etc) and all worked til i changed the vehicleclass
jade brook
Interesting.
kindred moss
class MineBase;
class my_apers_mine : MineBase
{...};``` wouldnt that work?yep, we just give everything a custom vehicleclass in unsung
but mines behaviour is hardcoded
worth knowing
am now wondering how many other functions rely on keeping vanilla vehicleclasses :/

@hot pine do you have any idea why i cannot remove the effect?
boreal heart
Would that be the velocity thing where when you accelerate you go back, and then forward when you decelerate? Maybe it keeps doing that 24/7
?
livid heath
no, it is related 100% to firing the grenade launcher in the chin turret
it happens also to the m113 and static weapons we have with the same weapon added
vital torrent
does the weap have any recoil in the model.cfg?
livid heath
the only cause i can see is that class CamShakeFire in our 40mm grenade ammo
ooh yes probably
kindred moss
it related to ammo/magazines?
livid heath
but why would recoil affect the pilot, when the gunner turret has the weapon?
vital torrent
check the selection
livid heath
pilot and gunner are not part of the gun or turret selection
it is a rotating chin turret
it can probably be repro'd by adding a stock 40mm GMG to a kajman gunner turret
then have the pilot fly while the gunner shoots it
it's a crazy behaviour
and for some reason once your ammo inherits from the grenade containining the class CamShakeFire , you're unable to remove it in any way that I can figure out
setting al lthe values to 0 or -1 does nothing to change the behaviour
seems really strange
kindred moss
does camera actually shake when you fire a weapon or character only moves affected by recoil?
in case the later you might need custom gunneraction or something alike, its due to animation maybe
livid heath
im almost certain its camshakefire
ok here's my weapon config
weapon in the vid is uns_M129_cobra_GL firing uns_M75_GL_302rnd magazine containing Uns_G_40mm_HE_v ammo
i think the issue is very specific to grenade launchers mounted on vehicles where the driver has not got forced optics
so if you mount a GMG on a stock vehicle, it should be seen in a vehicle with turned out driver
i will see if i can repro it
unfortunately the documentation for CamShakeFire does not explain how to prevent the effect from happening
i don't define any recoil. but my weapon inherits from GMG_F
vital torrent
you could not inherit from GMG_F and see if you have the same prob
livid heath
i guess im more trying to report it as an unexpected issue with the class camshakefire
but i can try to go further up the inheritance tree
what i will do initially is add some machine gun mags and ammo to the same weapon and see if that removes the problem
that will prove if it is ammo related
vital torrent
Good idea 👍
hot pine
it's not cam shake
it's recoil
if you want to reduce you can use muzzleImpurceCoef thing
muzzleImpulseFactor*
strange egret
@hot pine would it be possible to get the formula for the recoil force that results from hit values and the impulsefactor?
junior bane
can i move the memorypoint with the object? because im in trouble with turret optic. i click left mouse button, he goes in the optic and and the cam stuck and i can move only my turret.. or what is the problem?
vital torrent
you have to include the "eye" point in the "gun" selection
junior bane
which "gun" selection?
livid heath
@hot pine - why would recoil in a weapon in a gunner turret of a cobra helicopter affect the pilot?
surely that is unwanted behaviour?
vital torrent
@junior bane i guess you have a nameSelection for the MainGun anim of the weapon

is there a way to edit the impact point of a weapon to match the sight?
strange egret
normally you would do the opposite...
also how exactly do you want to match the impact point? What kind of sight is it? A full reticle with range marks or just a fix crosshair / iron sight?
livid heath
@hot pine ok when i added a minigun mag to the 40mm GMG grenade launcher weapon (in its permitted mags, and in the helicopter vehicle turret config) - the weapon can be reloaded wit hminigun mag, and has no shake effect
this means it must be the ammo causing the issue
camshakefire
rather than the weapon, with any associated recoils
livid heath
if i reload the 40mm mag it shakes, if i reload the minigun mag (both in the same 40mm weapon) then the behaviour toggles on and off
hot pine
Shot she'll has
livid heath
ohhh its in the simulation?
hot pine
Why are you so stubborn sometimes
livid heath
i don't mean to be
i'm trying to fix the issue, and am very grateful for your advice
strange egret
recoil base value is bullet dependant, not weapon dependant
livid heath
ithought recopil was set in cfgweapons
strange egret
its not set anywhere
livid heath
it is in a handheld weapon
strange egret
its hardcoded by some formula involving ammo hit value and possibly other things
well not for vehicles...
livid heath

etc
livid heath
i wasn't aware of that
recoil = "M240Recoil";

thats what i assumed reyhard meant
nobody mentioned simulation being a factor
so im not being stubborn, im scientifically tackling the issue 😉

@vital torrent edit head position in rtm?
vital torrent
basically it's not possible to "move" the bullet trajectory?
livid heath
ok here's what i would do
strange egret
you can angle it upwards @ Giallustio
vital torrent
i could move the weapons memory points but meh
@strange egret it doesn't affect the AI?
livid heath
- lift the pilot proxy up a little, so his eye when zooming is exactly looking through the centre of the reticle
strange egret
AI should be able to compensate. But if you angle it upwards the bullet still has a firing arc and it is not parallel to pilot sight
do you have pilot HUD set up properly? or is this just a texture?
looks like later to me
strange egret
you can still make a HUD for it...
livid heath
- then (using heavy tracer ammo) tweak the position of your muzzle memory points (usti hlavne) relative to the chamber memory points (konec hlavne)so they converge at say 400m away in the centre of your reticle
untold temple
does that work on planes? Rockets and guns used to be fired exactly forward back in the day.
angling mem points I mean
strange egret
yeah angling gun memorypoints does not work
untold temple
I know it works with angled gunpod proxies in dynamic loadouts
strange egret
possibly also main cannon (gunbeg gunend)
vital torrent
I could rise them
livid heath
hrm well mine work great, i have quadcannons in the A1 skyraider that converge
vital torrent
but then the bullets would start from an higher point
livid heath
though a little offset is normal, and expected, for example if you have a left wing cannon, you expect it to hit a little left of your center
strange egret
try gunAimDown = 0.0; /// adjusts the aiming of gun relative to the axis of model
headAimDown = 0.0; /// adjusts the view of pilot to have crosshair centred
first
vital torrent
try that already
i think it's only for hud
because i had no change at all
even with pretty high values
livid heath
i think moving the pilot is key to solving your problem
if he moves up the tracers will also move up relative to the front sight glass
feel free to pm me your model
vital torrent
that is an idea, but the pilot will clip out of the cockpit lol
livid heath
off for food now but i can look at it tomorrow
strange egret
change the pose then
livid heath
oh, so when you zoom in, how far off fro mthe centre of your glass reticle is the weapon cursor? that's what i normally set up first
strange egret
changing view angle limits and default view (in config) also changes relative position
if its just a solid texture it will always be off, no matter what you do
hot pine
angling memory points works
vital torrent
so, you suggest to move to the hud cfg
livid heath
strange egret
reyhard, does the collimator uv set source work for vehicles or just for handweapons?
livid heath
i did this for our cobra the other day
hot pine
just for hand weapons
vital torrent
@hot pine i know they work with AT weapons for sure, but the AI aim is really bad
livid heath
you can see the crosshair vs the reticle cross
hot pine
yeah, that's why I would suggest moving head a little bit higher or move sight down
livid heath
it is pretty vital to match the weapon crosshair close to your reticle centre
yeah same rey
get the centres aligned before yo utouch the weapon mem points
livid heath
yo ucan squash the pedestal of the glass to lower it
if needed
in the pic i just linked yo ucan see the game crosshair almost lined up with my reticle
i left it slightly off line because in reality the rockets dip
so it was a best-fit for the rockets / minigun / thumperetc
the right side 20mm cannon hits slightly left on the reticle, but its height is good
i have no issue with that variation
so line up your pilot eye/ game crosshair / reticle, then massage your muzzle mem points
job done
vital torrent
done
i need to center a bit the camera, but i think it's pretty good already

Guys, a quick question
I am trying to store some values in parsingNamespace via Config
like this
class CfgPatches
{
class mode
{
units[]={};
weapons[]={};
requiredVersion=0.1;
requiredAddons[]={};
author[]={"longbow"};
magazines[]={};
ammo[]={};
};
};
__EXEC(mode= "test")
But
parsingNamespace getVariable ["mode",""] returns me an empty string.
why?
balmy sable
Because the "mode=..." gets executed in binarize.exe when it's building your addon into a .pbo, and then binarize.exe just releases everything in "parsingNamespace" when it exits.
Also I assume parsingNamespace is cleared every mission load anyhow (well after all the addons have been loaded) too.
If you want to store random things in configs, just create classes prefixed with your OFPEC registered tag, like:
class lngb_SomeNiceVariables
{
mode = "test";
};
(where "lngb_" would be your OFPEC prefix)
turbid coral
then new question comes
is there a good getter for booleab values from config?
I recall I had it working from missionConfigFile
seems does nto work from just configFile
turbid coral
resolved, if I build mod with Addon Builder from tools and binarize option is enabled - then nothing goes to parsingnamespace, if disable binarization - it works

@jade brook A while back you helped me out with adding a texture to the game, how did you get a "all in one config dump from the games master config" you were talking about
jade brook
strange egret
@hot pine when you are at digging for the formula for recoil, having the formula for bullet bounce angle (based on angle of bullet impact to target plate and deflecting value in cfgammo) would also be extremely helpfull
testing this empirically is a butt load of work... i made one test for just one deflecting value with 1200 shots, counting number of deflections at various angles xD
hot pine
there is also deflection param in rvmat
strange egret
does it have an effect on the result? Haven't tested with different materials
hot pine
yes
deflection = 2; //material deflection coefficient, works as a simple multiplier of bullet deflecting value
strange egret
aha interesting.
as said, i only made one test to get the nature of how this behaves. Might be linear. https://abload.de/img/2017-11-1815_55_43-_d7myl3.png Was alot of work as is, having a formula would be extremely handy.
next question - when bullets penetrate material, the exit angle can change randomly. Can the magnitude of this effect be modified by material or bullet settings?
i have bullets with long tracer (sort of laser effect), when they penetrate and go in a different direction it looks extremely stupid, as you see the tracer rotate to change path. Wonder if this issue can be reduced or eliminated in some way.
currently i have to set caliber=0 to prevent any penetration, which is obviously problematic when the laser is supposed to be used for AT purposes.

It's for a cinematic
I have no idea really about scripting beside some basic stuff. Maybe there is a mod or something anyone knows?

what hit effects will be used is defined in the firegeometry lod of the model itself, and this is baked into the model ->no way to change it
only way would be to overwrite the effects definition with something else temporarily

like i said - if its just for one scene you could replace the blood effect wholesome with sparks. But if you need special distinction or dont want to shoot a very specific scene, you can only modify the model.

@winged fjord so yo ucan make a neckscarf accessory, that can be worn with a vest. the model would be a transparent mesh (i.e. completely see through texture) and then apply a "metal_plate" rvmat to its fire geometry, and have it cover your players entire chest. that would be a cheap and easy way to achieve what you are seeking, though it may not fit perfectly to your character especially if he is bending and wearing different shaped vests

@strange egret recoil formula

ocean nacelle
Hi folks,
How do you code the “class SimpleObject” to every vehicles (consider big mods like RHS, FFAA, CUP) at a reasonable time without wasting A LOT of time on it?
Do you have any script/tool to do it “semi-automatically” (considering further little tweaks manually)?
lofty zealot
Regex?
strange egret
@hot pine 💚
hot pine
There is internal script which is not super fast since you need create vehicle before retrieving animation state
strange egret
so the recoil, is it applied at vehicle center of gravity, center of object or where? And how does that torque tie into it?
ocean nacelle
@stoic lily Yes I see.. But any regarding to SimpleObject config, right? I'll try to do it then..
@hot pine The ideal "tool" should be an external IDE where you can adjust it manually and communicating it via Interceptor, and previewing it with BIS_fnc_adjustSimpleObject.
But too much time/resource consuming for just a little tweak (even If I have a bunch of vehicles to tweak I think..)
strange egret
if you do a large mod, you usually do it bit by bit, not everything at once, so the issue for large mods becomes less pressing.
ocean nacelle
@strange egret Yeah but me, as a FFAA MOD developer, considering a mod which was started even before the Arma 3 released, things like this do usually pass under our radar (being said, the one who "track" this new features is me and can't handle all of them 😑 )
radiant inlet
Is there a way to make new .bisign's for a existing mod and then package those in with another mod? Trying to use the Lythium map but not have the FFAA mod as an optional (aka have naked people running around)
grand zinc
Sure. Arma 3 tools has the tools to create your own bikey and then sign whatever pbo you want with it
but you have to create your own bikey. You can't make bisigns for the authors bikey
radiant inlet
But would it be possible to only have the key/bisigns included in another mod?
I know about the keys and bisigns but I dont have a clue if you can package it into another mod
ocean nacelle
@radiant inlet As @grand zinc says, Arma 3 Tools allow it. But should I remember you can't reupload other user's content to SW (Yes, even if it's for a Mod-Re-Pack which can decrease the size of the modpack your group uses) due to Steam EULA/Mod license? or should I do it?
radiant inlet
Yea I know thats why I need a solution where I dont reupload the entire mod but I cant seem to figure out a way to only be able to load Lytium and not the FFAA mod 😑 @ocean nacelle
Easiest thing for me would be if the FFAA devs used seperate keys for the mods but they dont
ocean nacelle

I'm struggling to get the tank physiX right.
When driving forward or backwards the tank only leans in that direction but won't move.
I'd guess the move force is applied too far up front and the log even says something about it:
tireForceAppPointOffset is set above the center of mass. This will result in odd vehicle behaviour (..)
Problem is, I don't have a tireForceAppPointOffset neither does the sample tank by BI.
Should I define that config and for every wheel or only one?
What else influences the attack point for the movement force? I've tried geometry mass but it doesn't do anything.
hot pine
"tireForceAppPointOffset" == "center" in case of tanks
thorn shadow
doesn't seem to help, is it even a bug that those force arrows are that far ahead or can I ignore that?

probably something wrong with geometry itself

Man this physX is a pain in the ass, I'd rather manually pack the uv map again than continue fiddling these values.
-
maxDrop and compression is identical to the damper offset, why do the wheels still sink into the ground?

accelerating or braking rocks the tank front and back like a seesaw, enginePower is only 202 Kw, what else could influence this? (15t tank)

(edit): max drop in physX is currently smaller than model cfg to thest when the wheel is no longer undeerground the phsX omega whas at 800 originally.

when damper source is 0.5 there is neither compression or droop present
if offset0 & 1 is not equal, then 0.5 animation will be either slightly higher or lower than physx wheels

Hey it's me again, still failing at physX. Wish there were a documentation that lists common mistakes so I don't have to ask every time something doesn't work.
The performance(engine & gear) settings are identical to bi mbt t-100 reyhard gave me the other day, still the tank only drives <10 km/h and jerks every now and then.
It too can't seem to drive in a straight line, sometimes swaying or leaning slowly left and/or right.

Question regarding lights on animated parts of a vehicle. Working on porting the arma 2 Takistan landrovers across. Have everything work regarding the vehicle as a whole / plus the weapon systems. However, I have added in animated parts of the model - such as allowing the user in the virtual garage to hide the fuel cans on the side, hide the canvas roof, the spare wheels, the radio rack between the front seats, the military light covers on the headlights, and the whole front bumper / grill. Again, for the most part that works without issue. Unfortunately, I've encountered a problem when hiding the front grill. The grill contains a set of additional spotlights. I've added these as working lights, which switch on and off with main headlights. Again, this all works well. Now, the tricky part. I want them to completely disappear when the front grill is hidden. I have this working to an extent. Initially, when the grill was hidden, everything would go, apart from the two floating light spheres / flares which remained in place. Hoping to remove them, I added the 4 memory points for the two spotlights (position and direction) to 'front_grill', so that they too would hide when the grill did. This worked. When the grill was removed, the light spheres / flares also disappeared from the front grill. Unfortunately, because the memory points are now hidden along with the grill, I have a floating light sphere in the centre of the vehicle - presumably because the Left_2 and Right_2 reflectors in the config.cpp can no longer find the associated position memory points to apply the flares too. How would I resolve this? How can I get the light flares / spheres to completely disappear when the animated front grill / spotlights are hidden? I effectively just want to turn those two lights off, while leaving the main headlights on. Any suggestions?
strange egret
not possible, unless individual reflector classes can be damaged individually - haven't dealt with that yet

All unoffical addons in game master doesnt work and applying a script BIS_fnc_activateAddons in eden editor doesnt work too.
zinc oak
X3KJ. You can shoot out the spotlights individually. Much like the headlights. Also, I think it can be done. If you check out the CUP datsun. It has a rollbar with two additional spotlights on them. With the roll bar there and the lights on, the spotlights light up and have light flares. When you hide the rollbar via editing the vehicle's appearance in Eden or the virtual garage, the spotlights hide along with the rollbar and the light spheres don't appear in place or inside the vehicle. I just don't know how they did the latter.
hot pine
Both pos and dir need to be hidden
zinc oak
hi reyhard. I've done that. The four memory points for the spots on the front grill (pos and dir) are part of 'front_grill'. When the grill is hidden, the lights and flares disappear from the front of the vehicle. Unfortunately, I then get a floating light sphere inside the land rover, as if the reflectors in config.cpp can't find the correct pos and dir for the spot lights, so it defaults to the centre of the vehicle.
Grill unhidden and lights on. Spotlights there with lights and flare:
grill hidden:
hot pine
Did you checked if it's not part of another bone?
Sounds like a classic bone sharing problem
zinc oak
hmm, okay. I did make sure front_grill is not part of damageHide or any other section other than camo for reskinning it. I am not sure about the bone. I'll have to check that. Not sure what it would be sharing though.
I'll look into that, thanks.

@zinc oak you can setdamage to the light points that are to be hidden then.
only caveat are repair things
it possibly matters if your lights to be hidden are agreggated with the normal front headlights for the purpose of hiding

Hey i made an item and whenever i place it in editor and play the scenario the item dissapears after one second, anyone had this issue before? im checking the confiq and nothing seems to odd with the mod file.

physX object with no collision lod falling through the ground?

untold temple
remove barrel in physX LOD?
thorn leaf
it's using RHS statics
so need's to be scripting or reconfigured I guess
I know I will already need to limit traverse
ect
maybe this will work?
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/boundingBox
if so I will move channels ;P
untold temple
I can ask the guys about modifying the physX LOD for the next version of the mod
but it might not be practical to do, if the AI decides it now wants to shoot through walls etc. if it can aim the gun through
thorn leaf
would always be nice if they just make some fortified versions of their statics and I don't gotta worry about it? haha
using any direct fire static is really hell to use in any pvp enviornment
I was so happy when the uparmored mraps got turn in option
such a crucial part to making them somewhat useful

cfgMods/mod.cpp bricked again? icons in VA dont work/behave odd, on the left side in VA there are no icons for custom mods, on bottom right sometimes icon is displayed for gear, but out of wrong mod in case you have more loaded, but once you hover over it, it turns into Apex icon
Weapons icons on left are gone too in VA with the difference that they all in all cases default to Apex icon
Mod icons work only in Eden editor... I'd write a bug report but something tells me its already known :))
tested on RC, no rpt errors

Hi all, I have this in my config.cpp:
class CfgSFX
{
class Bosnia_CC_wheels
{
sound0[] = {"\bosnia_cablecar\sounds\wheels_loop", 0.15, 1.3, 100, 1, 0, 0, 0};
sounds[] = {sound0};
empty[] = {"", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0};
};
};
and
class CfgVehicles
{
class Bosnia_CC_soundWheels
{
sound = "Bosnia_CC_wheels";
};
};
when I load the mod, I get No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Bosnia_CC_soundWheels.scope
...any ideas...?
if i put the same in description.ext with path corrections, everything works fine
jade brook
Make Bosnia_CC_soundWheels inherit from class Sound;.
requiredAddons for that class is A3_Sounds_F.
summer moat
so...
yeah apparently this is needed:
class Bosnia_CC_wheels
{
name = "Bosnia_CC_wheels";
Bosnia_CC_wheels[] = {"\bosnia_cablecar\sounds\wheels_loop", 0.15, 1.3, 100, 1, 0, 0, 0};
sounds[] = {"Bosnia_CC_wheels"};
empty[] = {"", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0};
};
and
class Sound;
class Bosnia_CC_soundWheels: Sound
{
scope = 2;
sound = "Bosnia_CC_wheels";
displayName = "Bosnia_CC_wheels";
};
scope 1 is needed. scope 2 is a bad idea.
Unless you do want this to be placable with the editor.
Requirement for spawning with a script is scope 1.

Anyone know how to resolve errors like this that are generated in the bin log when using Mikero tools to pack up the mod into a .pbo? This is from the Land Rover port I am working on. Seeing: 'Selection zbytek needs a section. The shadow volume may not work well' in the logs, along with other Selections being mentioned. It doesn't appear to be causing an issue, but I'd like to remove the potential problem if possible.
hot pine
remove zbytek from shadow lod
untold temple
should remove any hiddenSelections names from the shadow LODs really
zinc oak
Many thanks. I'll try that.
dreamy sonnet
is there a list of default textures somewhere?
ground/terrain textures or vehicle textures?
stoic lily
cd /D p:\temp
dir /B/S *.paa > textureList.txt```text[], unlike mat[], is using pairs instead of triplets of entries
untold temple
I maybe need to check that on our MiG-29 and T-50 exhausts as well mate :D. I think I used a triplet on the afterburner hiding tex. Ed:- Nope, it's fine, we have a pair
brave root
do userActions work for weapons?
jade brook
No.
brave root
Alright, thank you.
barren umbra
how do you set up the live config editing? I want to test some aircraft config settings, it would be a huge pain in the ass to constantly restart Arma after making each change
grand zinc
Grab intercept. And use script commands to set config values at runtime. (I didn't release that yet)
Or diag exe with the mergeConfigFile command
untold temple
then just type in the console diag_mergeConfigFile ["P:\Path\To\Config\config.cpp"]
grand zinc
Is there interest on being able to set config at runtime?
stuff like
(configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> "classname" >> "displayName") setConfigString "newDisplayName" ?
barren umbra
How do I load an addon with diag exe?
stoic lily
@grand zinc please let it happen god 🙏
grand zinc
@barren umbra Same as with default. -mod parameter
stoic lily
@grand zinc however i'd say the overloading from file is more convenient to work with
grand zinc
true. But my method also works in vanilla release build and (I hope) crashes less
jade brook
Don't name the command "setConfigString". Just setConfig and make it figure out on it's own if rhs is an array, number, string or bool.
grand zinc
It's not worth the effort tho if no one uses it in the end. And it won't be open-source
jade brook
I wonder if the game even accesses the config values for things like ammo. It might cache them instead somewhere after the first use and so changing the config would have no effect.
grand zinc
it does. But restarting mission should clear the cache
jade brook
Good enough.
balmy sable
What would be popular is being able to reload the lighting.
Rumour is that the BIS internal builds can do it without reloading anything.
grand zinc
internal builds can do everything
balmy sable
You mean the AI can drive in the internal builds?!
jade brook
lol
stoic lily
yeah overcoming the limitations of mergeConfig would definately see use
another very useful thing would be modifying sounds on the fly/without game restart
-filePatching doesnt work for them - likely as the engine caches sounds on first play
hot pine
usually ammo/magazines/weapons/vehicles can be reloaded by simply spawning new entity
balmy sable
In diag; that may not be true in retail.
hot pine
so if you merge ammo config all you need is to i.e. remove current weapon & add it again
in public diag
grand zinc
ammo/magazines/weapons/vehicles are read from config and cached on first instanciation.
I guess the cache is deleted on mission end but I didn't test that
grand zinc
Atleast that's what I saw when I fixed magazineGroups. Which btw is still not implemented 😉
balmy sable
Dedmen is talking about in the retail build.
hot pine
changing param of weapon == diagMerge + addWeapon
grand zinc
diagMerge probably takes care of deleting the cache
balmy sable
We don't know (well, Dedmen might) what happens in retail because as of yet there's no way to change configs in retail.
barren umbra
I'm essing around with the flight model for the CSAT VTOL, I'm trying to make it less lumbering, more responsive and generally easier to fly (at least for the AI). Any tips?
hot pine
it's using same principle as far as I know
grand zinc
But you can't clear the cache using diagMerge in retail. So I guess you need to find another way to do it
balmy sable
Mmm, it's not quite the same, retail doesn't rescan textures/rvmats for everything when you WM_ACTIVATE for example.
Pretty sure KK said at some point configs aren't hashed, so traversing them is linear in the size of the class (e.g. finding a vehicle in CfgVehicles makes it loop through every vehicle comparing strings)
grand zinc
true
barren umbra
could someone explain to me how the envelope for the aircraft works?
I want to make it very easy for the Xian to lose speed when pilot wants to land
barren umbra
how do you limit plane's max speed?
I think what I want to do is reduce the momentum the VTOL has, so you can stop very fast to land
no idea how to achieve that though
strange egret
envelope is lift. wrong setting to tweak if you want faster slow down
barren umbra
my god the AI completely helpless if you ask them to land a VTOL, they will haply fly into a mountainside when trying to slow down
@strange egret What should I change then?
strange egret
look at the A3 plane sample and https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/CfgVehicles_Config_Reference
barren umbra
I think it woulb be best if I could just disable the plane flight mode and keep the VTOL in VTOL mode at all times
barren umbra
I still can't get rid of that wobble when AI tries to land in VTOL mode
barren umbra
Holly crap! I switched the Xian's simulation from airplaneX to helicopterrtd. It broke the fans and nozzles angle animations, but stuff like gear, or the rear ramp works fine.
And the whole thing now controls like a helicopter
junior bane
give a methode to make vest and backpacks visible after equip uniform? I know the Ghillie suit hiding the backpack. Is the same for vest too?
untold temple
ghillies simply do not have backpack proxies
junior bane
the same i can do it with vest
untold temple
if it's a custom model, yes, you just don't put a vest proxy in there
junior bane
yeah. thats the simple way (: thx!
boreal heart
@untold temple Out of curiosity with that, does the vest armour still apply?
If there is no proxy for the game to pick up, how does it know where to apply the armour values?
barren umbra
damn, for some reason the craft not only flies pretty slowly, but also gains height in "level" flight with results in AI flying pretty high, even if told not to do
barren umbra
My helicopter thing rolls down a hill by itself, is there any way to stop that?
barren umbra
Oh discovered a nifty thing, settings minBackRotorDive and maxBackRotorDive can stop the helicopter AI from wobbling. I set it to -90 and 90 and AI is able to stop from 400kph to 0 without doing that nose up, gain attitude maneuver
and I just noticed its not the main rotor, with I meant to edit. However as it turns out setting this for the main rotor has the same ffect
untold temple
@boreal heart yes, armour is still applied. The vest's model has nothing to do with modifying the unit's armour values really, it's all config modifiers - buffs to the base unit's armour hitpoint values
barren umbra
I want to inherit a turret to swap a guns in it, how do I set up the inheritance for the turret so I don't mess everything up? Like other turrets or FFV
and maybe swapping optics
untold temple
you have to inherit every turret
like if you only want to edit turret1, you'd still need to add class turret2: turret2{}; etc. etc. etc.
just seems to be the way class turrets works
turbid temple
https://imgur.com/a/l9xZ9 anyone know how to edit this texture to remove the throns and add more grass?
barren umbra
@turbid temple You mean the ground texture? Usually its just a simple replacement with the textures for the terrain, they are usually located in the map's pbo
round kernel
Trying to config a shotgun shell that shoots pellets. I don't want to it to shoot 8 pellets though. I'd rather 4. Anyone know the config name for that?
turbid temple
@barren umbra i want to edit the arma 3 clutter for this texture to create the grass more like this http://www.terragalleria.com/images/np-rockies/thro25704.jpeg but i have no idea where to start? im using the gdt_wild_grass.paa file
barren umbra
@turbid temple oh, thats "class CfgSurfaceCharacters", you bascially tell the game what clutter is used for what surface and how much of it will appear, you can have several clutter for a surface and set the ratio between them. If you want to add more clutter models, or clutter from different maps, then you need to add them to the "class Clutter"
All of this is in the map config
untold temple
@round kernel shotSpread simulation is hardcoded to 9 pellets AFAIK
barren umbra
@round kernel Maube use the submunition thingy to create a "cluster" shotgun shell?
turbid temple
@barren umbra i hate to be that guy but where and the fuck do i find CfgSurfaceCharacters lol
barren umbra
@Corbinnator#7750 you unpack the whatever pbo that the map comes in, then you will have the config with you edit like a normal text document
strong skiff
@turbid temple This might help you to settle your clutter-problems: https://pmc.editing.wiki/doku.php?id=arma3:terrain#clutter Otherwhise better go to #arma3_terrain as its more of that topic.
thorn leaf
@turbid temple clutter reconfig will def be an easy way to reconfigure the terrains clutter
like so
open up the config viewer of the terrain you want to mess with.. find the path to cfgclutter, rewrite the clutter(s) and change the models to what you want
just to simplify what the others posted
turbid temple
@Gunther.S#1326 thanks man the guy we paid to setup our terrain didnt add all this stuff
turbid temple
oh tell me aboot it
this is what he gave us said it was finished https://hastebin.com/comukoyuzi.cs
thorn leaf
anyways if you don't have any clutter to begin with sounds like you gotta do some terrain making troubleshooting
yep missing some stuffs
what Cosmo said should help you but will be a bit tedious ;/
radiant inlet
Kind of a wierd question, what does this do? class CBA_Extended_EventHandlers;
Okay, now I am really lost, I am trying to add more chair positions to acex and I copied this directly from acex: class ThingX; class CUP_office_chair: ThingX { class EventHandlers { class CBA_Extended_EventHandlers: CBA_Extended_EventHandlers {}; }; GVAR(canSit) = 1; GVAR(sitDirection) = 180; GVAR(sitPosition)[] = {0, -0.1, -0.45}; ACEGVAR(dragging,canCarry) = 0; };
but it wont work, giving me an error: encountered "(" instead of "="
grand zinc
Because your GVAR macro is not defined
radiant inlet
Would that all still be possible in a normal confg.ccp? Still getting the same error when I add it (PREP(addSitActions);)
jade brook
Just include the header file from the sittings pbo at the top of the file.
#include "\z\acex\addons\sitting\script_component.hpp"
That worked 😃 Now I still need to figure out how to get that damn chair to work....
Is there anything obvious I am doing wrong in the stuff up there?
jade brook
@radiant inlet
Add class CBA_Extended_EventHandlers_base; to the root of the config (same level as (= outside of) CfgVehicles) and change:
class CBA_Extended_EventHandlers: CBA_Extended_EventHandlers {};
to
class CBA_Extended_EventHandlers: CBA_Extended_EventHandlers_base {};
Okay? What does that change tho (sorry for the amount of questions btw, trying to learn this stuff)
jade brook
Doesn't look like you have CBA_Extended_EventHandlers defined anywhere, so you just inherit the class from ThingX. That's the wrong one.
radiant inlet
Ah, okay. Still doesnt work tho
jade brook
Is sitting enabled?
radiant inlet
Yea
radiant inlet
I assume in the init of the object? If so, nope
jade brook
If you place it in the init you have to replace cursorTarget with this
radiant inlet
Nope, doesnt work
jade brook
hint str getNumber (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf cursorTarget >> "acex_sitting_canSit");
hint str getNumber (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf this >> "acex_sitting_canSit");
What does this say?
radiant inlet
0
jade brook
Should be 1. Looks like the config isn't loaded? Can you check it inside the config viewer if the entry is there and set to 1?
Remote debugging
radiant inlet
Uhm, havent used the config viewer before, you want me to go to the cup object and check or somewhere else?
jade brook
The cup chair.
Just to confirm that the config is loaded or isn't loaded.
If the entry isn't there or 0, then it looks like your edited config is missing. I don't know why, but it's no surprise it doesn't work then.
radiant inlet
As far as I can see there is no entry there
Basicly what I am currently trying to do is have a single pbo (with just a config.ccp) add support for this chair and this is that config.ccp
#include "\z\acex\addons\sitting\script_component.hpp"

Like this? ```

Note how the object is inside CfgVehicles and how I added it's config patch to requiredAddons.
radiant inlet
Are the cup objects any different from base arma objects? in the acex config I was looking at it didnt have the CfgVehicles class
radiant inlet
Ehhhh something broke, the chair is no longer in the game
nvm about before, i'm blind as ussual
jade brook
Close the game, start without your mod, but with CUP and execute:
copyToClipboard configName inheritsFrom (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "CUP_office_chair");
And copy the result here.
radiant inlet
CUP_basin_a
jade brook
Change:
class ThingX;
class CUP_office_chair: ThingX {
to:
class CUP_basin_a;
class CUP_office_chair: CUP_basin_a {
Try again with your mod.
radiant inlet
Didnt acex require ThingX?
jade brook
CUP_basin_a apparently is the base class of CUP_office_chair.
ThingX is the base class of Land_CampingChair_V1_F.
It's not so much ACEX that requires it and more like the chair.
radiant inlet
Ah, the acex wiki made it sound like it need to inherit from ThingX
jade brook
It assumes the reader has done configs before. It's difficult for people that know a lot to predict what others might not know.
jade brook
hint str acex_sitting_enable
?
radiant inlet
true
jade brook
And if you place a vanilla chair next to it you can sit on that, right?
jade brook
Restarted the mission once? It might not work for a reloaded mission.
radiant inlet
Still doesnt work

how do you make a helicopter go faster using a config? I tried lowering bodyFrrictionCoef, but it didn't have an effect
jade brook
[this] call acex_sitting_fnc_addSitActions
Into the init box, does that add it?
jade brook
_action = ["TEST", "test","",{_target setDamage 1;},{true},{},[], [0,0,0], 100] call ace_interact_menu_fnc_createAction;
[this, 0, [], _action] call ace_interact_menu_fnc_addActionToObject;
Does this add an action to the chair?
Init box again.
radiant inlet
Yea, I f'ed up [this] call acex_sitting_fnc_addSitActions adding that made it work
jade brook
Ah, but it does not work on it's own, right?
radiant inlet
No
jade brook
Good, sec.
radiant inlet
Btw how do you get the colored text thing?
jade brook
Add:

Huh, now I have the issue of sitting on air... enhanced movement and acex dont like eachother do they...

Something about invisible helper objects spawned by Enhanced Movement and Walkable Moving Objects.

Yea they share some code to be able to walk on objects, really sucks it interferes with acex. But again thanks for the help 😃

I've been out for a while, anyone else have problems with planes bouncing around on taxi (usually leading to a crash), presumably after Jets released? I'm trying to update that. Did Jets update something I didn't see?
untold temple
They have wheel physX now
barren umbra
How do you add friction to physX wheels on helicopters? Mine rolls down the hill by itself
tiny sky
Ah, wheel physX. That's my problem
hot pine
helicopters doesn't use physx wheels
untold temple
helicopters don't have physX wheels. They have rolling wheels in AFM, in which case you'd need to configure the brakes. If it's not in AFM, I'm not so sure what makes them slide
viral rapids
Was it just planes, who received the PhysX stuff with JetsDLC?
untold temple
yes. Helicopter suspension anims are still done with altitude based anims, rather than physx dampers
viral rapids
ew
boreal heart
Should have updated helis while everyone was at it haha
untold temple
I can't imagine that integrating physX and RotorLib would have been an easy process though
especially when RTD is optional
boreal heart
Well from the PhysX suspension on the jets, wouldnt it be the same on the helis? Just for a heli instead of jet?
untold temple
no, because there's some interplay between AFM and wheels/suspension/skids too
barren umbra
How do you make a helicopter go faster in flight? I tried lowering body friction coef, but it didn't do anything
livid heath
maybe reduce mass
barren umbra
its a binarized model, I only can do config tweaks
ocean nacelle
@da12thMonkey#2096 the driveOnComponent[] parameter is used when AFM is not activated. Which literally are the sections where won’t be damaged when Heli is toaching the ground. (If you don’t set up it then it would behalf exactly the same but taking more damage).
untold temple
ah yeah, I remember those now
had a discussion about whether "slide" etc. component was still needed for tanks a few weeks ago
barren umbra
but how you stop a craft from sliding downhill?
strange egret
i dont think i have ever heard of a helicopter wheel brake functionality for A3...
jade brook
AFM supposedly has it.
hot pine
as mentioned before, afm has it
it's enabled with numberPhysicalWheels = 3; (0 - no wheels with brakes, 3 - wheels with brakes, etc)
not sure if some other param was needed
untold temple
ground contact point needs isBrakable in the .xml <Features> as well, no?
barren umbra
what about the standard flight model?
untold temple
IIRC BIS helis slide down hill too, so I dunno if it can be done without AFM
barren umbra
yeah, but after I made Xian (CSAT VTOL) use the helicopter simulation it pretty much rolls around like the wheels have no friction at all
boreal heart
Can someone explain to me the difference between 'class ViewOptics' and 'class OpticsIn' when it comes to optics in ground vehicles?
I'm confused as to what the difference between them is
Also I'm guessing 'class ViewGunner' is the 1st person view from the gunner when they're turned out?
hot pine
OpticsIn/Out allows you to define multiple view modes
boreal heart
Well what is ViewOptics supposed to define exactly? Is it the first zoom level of the optics? But if thats the case isnt the first zoom level of OpticsIn supposed to do that? So they kinda cancel each other out?
hot pine
ViewOptics is just pre OptisIn/Out way
calm bramble
hey fellas, i've been fiddling around with my own attempt at a shotgun mod lately, but i can't figure out how to properly implement the pump noise. is there a way to have a sound play after each shot?
odd token
bolt action, rhs implements something like that on some rifles
and there is a mod for that
calm bramble
how does it work?
calm bramble
thank you, i will look into this
odd token
digital granite
I have this weird issue where when i spawn a unit and the guy is clearly using the uniform I assigned him but in the inventory, the uniform doesn't show up. When I look at the va, it comes up empty
calm bramble
how would i implement the weapon eventhandler framework into my own rifle? I place this within my weapon class in the weaponscfg
class bg_weaponparameters
{
class onFired_Action
{
HandAction = "";
Actiondelay = 0.1;
Sound = "M12fired";
Sound_Location = "LeftHandMiddle1";
hasOptic = false;
};
};
class EventHandlers {
fired = "???";
};
this is my first foray into scripting, what would i need to plug in for fired?
jade brook
Are you talking about this http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?192780-Weapon-Eventhandler-Framework ?
calm bramble
yes i am
jade brook
I don't know. Not really part of the base game. Is it just supposed to play that sound or animation too?
calm bramble
just the sound
calm bramble
it's for the pump sound after the gun has fired
jade brook
I'd edit the sample to include a 0.1 s delay and fire the sound directly when you shoot the weapon.
calm bramble
i guess that would simplify things. one problem ive run into in the past with that is that the full sound will remain where it originally started, so im someone is running or turning, they'll find that the audio from each shot continues from where it started and doesn't stay with them
jade brook
Hmm.
But the click sound itself is short? The problem is that the player moves while firing and the 0.1s delay?
calm bramble
yeah its like a quick shotgun pump, the 0.1 delay is so that it aligns with the gun's pump animation. i assumed the
Sound_Location = "LeftHandMiddle1";
would keep the sound on the player so it doesn't just hang in the air wherever it spawned
jade brook
Give me a minute. I'll try something.
Sounds like an interesting problem.
What does the sound config look like of M12fired?
calm bramble
class CfgSounds
{
sounds[]={};
class M12fired
{
name="M12_fired";
sound[]=
{
"Borgun\sound\m12_fired",

AGLToASL (_unit modelToWorldVisual (_unit selectionPosition 'LeftHandMiddle1')), 1, 1, 10\
];\
}, _this, 0.1] call CBA_fnc_waitAndExecute;";
};
I think that is right. Try this.
calm bramble
awesome thank you i'll try that out right now
jade brook
0.1 is awfully short delay. I guess you haven't timed that yet though.
I had to increase to 0.5 to check the tracking.
calm bramble
yeah itll probably need some adjustments once i can get the sound hopping
hmm, not playing any sound
i put this within my rifle in the weaponscfg, or is it it's own thing?
jade brook
Direclty inside
class Riflename
Or shotgunName
in this case I suppose.
player addEventHandler ["fired", {[{
