using the fixed config snippet that you posted, EventHandlers contains Cre8ive but not CBA_Extended_EventHandlers

Do you want to turn the engine on, or wait until the engine is turned on? You wrote it ambiguously.
sturdy marlin
wait until it's on
jade brook
What does this have to do with config editing?

would it be scripting, then?

Yes

Depends on what you're actually trying to do. If it's some animation on the model that is supposed to happen once you turn on the engine, then this channel would be fine.

toxic solar
I didnt really find this anywhere but, is there somewhere where I can specify the movement speed of a unit when they have a certain weapon or change the accuracy of a weapon when someone is walking
jade brook
is there somewhere where I can specify the movement speed
Only indirectly by increasing its mass making the carrying unit tire out faster.
change the accuracy of a weapon when someone is walking
No, weapons always have the same dispersion, and a heavy weapon would have less dispersion, even though in Arma you only tweak dispersion directly and not indirectly with the mass.
toxic solar
damn I see, ill try that mass then
jade brook
There also is a dexterity config entry.
Assault rifles have 1000, big sniper rifles have around 1.
toxic solar
oh that might be useful
jade brook
Then there is the inertia config entry, which also exists on attachments. That changes how long the weapon takes to aim where you're looking at.
Noticable with machine guns and big sniper rifles, and especially with big scopes too.
There're also maxRecoilSway and swayDecaySpeed, though I believe they're no longer working in A3.
Otherwise adjust the CfgRecoils class defined in the recoil entry ofc.
Check the config viewer, these entries on a select few weapons.
toxic solar
I didnt really look at CfgRecoils, I guess I should poke around there a bit
jade brook
Yeah. That's only for shooting tho.
toxic solar
now about scopes actually, for the LRPS I see that its zoom values are
opticsZoomMin = 0.01;
opticsZoomMax = 0.042;
```, and I read that I should divde the above numbers by something, thing is idk what number that is, where would I go about finding it?I wouldn't use absolute values, but simple expressions for these:
opticsZoomInit = "0.25 / 2";
opticsZoomMin = "0.25 / 2";
opticsZoomMax = "0.25 / 10";
This means 2-10 times magnification.
0.25 is the baseline FOV for holding down the right mouse button.
If you divide that field of view by, e.g. 3, you have a 3 times magnification.
0.25 means 0.25*90 degree field of view.
The 0.25 is defined in the CfgVehicles/CAManBase config. Same for every soldier.
toxic solar
oh, I see
so .25 is the right click zoom and then .75 fov is just the normal view if I read that correctly off the config
toxic solar
so wat ur also saying is I can make a owlman that can turn his 360 degrees...or ah....look lol
jade brook
You may hit some hard coded limit, because the engine probably craps itself if it can't decide which models to unload, because they're behind you.
toxic solar
lol, time to try I guess
jade brook
E.g. the id Tech 3 engine has a hard coded limit of 120Β°.
toxic solar
Aww, theres no FOV slider in the video settings is there?
jade brook
I think you can adjust that. Not sure if it has an ingame slider. Doesn't matter for your weapon though, as that would not affect relative magnification.

whats the difference between

``` and
```cpp

So the " symbol
jade brook
That makes no sense. 0.25 is the base zoom.
There's no difference really, as most tools just add the quote marks during binarization. Same for the game at launch for unbinned configs.
But it is not as explicit, and therefore probably worse.
toxic solar
oh yea the .75 makes no sense, its just happens to be the example I found XD, also I saw somewhere that it said the base fov is .75?
that forum post
jade brook
.25 is the base for optics, because that is what you get when holding down rmb.
vernal sequoia

This hiddenSelection stuff also works for uniforms, vests, backpacks and headgear, but not weapon attachments, and I also have to mention that setObjectTexture(Global) scripting command only works on vehicles, backpacks, and the entire soldier, but not uniforms, vests, helmets and weapons.
ok, what would you suggest i do if i had little addon modeled features to the different "skins" as well as the texture and rvmat change?
Check first if the weapon you want to retexture hashiddenSelectionsdefinied in config. If it doesn't, it will probably not have them set up inside the model config and the model file either, which means you should give up.
vernal sequoia
well i make the model and config...so should be able to make whatever changes i want right?

Yes, ofc.
Then just do literally the same as:

author = "$STR_BWA3_Author";
baseWeapon = "BWA3_G36A1_AG40_tan";

undone quiver
Question
A HEMMTT, and a Hunter both have a armor value of 200, but why will the AI only engage the HEMMTT with small arms? And by small arms I mean use them without any AT to use.
livid heath
Not at pc but rof is controlled by reloadtime eg 600rpm = 10 rps and reloadtime = 1/10 rps =0.1 a shot is fired every 0.1 secs
1200 rpm = 20rps so reloadtime =0.05
Ai engaging vehicles is mutifactor
Their ammo cost and caliber and vehicle damage rate coefficient (sorry not at pc cant check proper term) and the threat rate of the vec all affect it afaik, and crewvulnerable also is a factor
Reyhard will know better!

Anybody ever delt with a issue were a uniforms cause units to die in one hit if shot in the arms?

Ok yea, I'm very certain that hitpoints in arms has no effect
Put mindamage at like 1000, no effect. Lowered passthrough no effect.

passThrough = 0.01;
radius = 0.1;
explosionShielding = 1;
visual = "injury_hands";
minimalHit = 1000;

passThrough = 0.01;
radius = 0.1;
explosionShielding = 1;
visual = "injury_hands";
minimalHit = 1000;
depends = "HitArms";

so, im trying to make a weapon on a vehicle so that the AI can shoot it, but they arnt and only just track the enemy. Ive defined aiAmmoUsageFlags and allowAgainstInfantry in CfgAmmo and in CfgWeapons defined

aiRateOfFire
aiRateOfFireDistance
aiRateOfFireDispersion

and im assuming the distance settings u mean are for the different fire modes right?
okay ive set the cost to 1, and I think ive got the distance settings in the fire modes right
I hope it works

livid heath
@barren umbra how is your missile intended to behave? IR lock? radar lock? manual guidance? LOAL?
Let's assume it's like a Spike missile, and has LOBL IR. then you need a compatible IR sensor in both the vehicle and the ammo afaik.
easiest way to achieve this is to inherit from a BI class of vehicle and ammo
otherwise, you need t oadd your class components to each - check your intended BI similar classes in the AIO config for inspiration.
then on top you need to modify your weaponlocksystem so that both ammo and weapon are compatible.
that's a common area to fall down
and then finally there's your locking behaviour to adjust/ tweak

this is the sensors page that is probably most relevant https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Sensors_config_reference

depending on whether the weapon is locking, you may also need to look at the sensors

untold temple
yes, m/s
toxic solar
sensors aswell? can weapons have sensors or is it only on vehicles?
untold temple
the ammo can have sensors
toxic solar
oh okay, so does that mean then
untold temple
but it depends on what ammo is is, whether it has them or not
toxic solar
I can have a shitty maxLeadSpeed on ammo, and good maxLeadSpeed on the vehcile and suddenly the weapon is great at leading?
untold temple
no, I don't think so
toxic solar
so the vehicle can only limit the lead of a weapon, but not make it better

as I said, it's the magazine, not the weapon

So several days ago i was trying do this...
Alright, so here's what i plan to do. I want to edit the config of the Zamak MRL such that it:
(A) Can use the datalink feature
(B) Use a custom magazine_Missile_rim162_x12 magazine
(C) Fire it using weapon_rim162Launcher
So I think I'll need to make a new version of magazine_Missile_rim162_x8 with the ammo count set to 8 instead of 12, then make a new version of weapon_rim162Launcher that uses this magazine, and finally add that weapon and magazine, along with the datalink component, to a new version of the Zamak MRL config.
Question is, should these three classes go into the same config.cpp, or should i add the magazine and weapon to CfgMagazines.hpp and CfgWeapons.hpp?```
This is what i ended up with in my config.cpp https://pastebin.com/akMfWqdL
I'm completely new to this so there's likely something i'm doing wrong there. For example, does `class Turret` need to be copy-pasted entirely or is just changing those two properties enough? And, do I need to add a `class Car` etc? Samples do this but the configs in the main game appear not to...or should i be doing class MainTurret: MainTurret instead of class SKMOD_MainTurret: MainTurret ?
stoic lily
@terse plank you need to define parent class inheritance like class parent;
also you need to replicate the turret sub class tree as its set up
get an AIO config to be able to follow the setup
if you have multiple subclasses, basically you need to go down one sub class level per parent class definition (that actually defines that subclass - otherwise you need to go up until you find the parent that does the "next"/prior definition)
terse plank
hmm alright. yeah was using the AIO config, was just a bit unsure what to keep and what was already included in the subclass π€
will tweak it a bit more
but is it fine to have cfgmagazines and cfgweapons in the same cpp?
if i understood the samples correctly, the other alternative is to put them in .hpp files and then #include them, which would essentially amount to the same..
hmm so Truck_02_MRL_base_F has
class Turrets
{
class MainTurret: NewTurret
{
class Turrets
{
};
commanding = 1;
body = "Base";
gun = "Tower_Fake";
... //etc
}
}```what's that innermost class Turrets for? doesn't seem to be in the examples here https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Turret_Config_Reference
well, this is confusing :D
i don't think i understand what this means to be honest.
basically you need to go down one sub class level per parent class definition (that actually defines that subclass - otherwise you need to go up until you find the parent that does the "next"/prior definition)
I_Truck_02_MRL_F seems to just have the editor entry with the UI stuff, it inherits from Truck_02_MRL_base_F that defines the other stuff. So is this not the parent class i need?
otherwise it just goes on endlessly landvehicle >> car >> car_f >> truck_f >> Truck_02_base_F >> Truck_02_MRL_base_F
wise fog
@terse plank what are you trying to do?
Base class mostly defines hitpoints, model info, physx etc
Then is split off defined, there are a lot of different odd things like the UI one might be so that multiple things can base off of it because of the truck icon it has
terse plank
see my message above from an hour ago, that has a description of what i'm trying to do. But TLDR; give the Zamak MRL anti-air missiles instead of the rockets it has.
so essentially just want to change the weapons it has, and list it as a separate entry in the editor
tweaked it a bit more: https://pastebin.com/iygW38pR
(okay there's a typo, should be class SKMOD_I_Truck_02_SAM_F: SKMOD_Truck_02_SAM_base_F)
wise fog
If you find the mrl in config you want you could also use that, instead of baseclass to baseclass to vehicle but the way you are doing it doesnβt hurt anything
Does it not work or not show up?
terse plank
i don't know, i'm away from my PC for a couple of months π

couldn't stay away from Arma so thought i'd do this till i got back home
wise fog
Gotcha π quite the time length there lol
terse plank
haha yeah
but i thought it would take time, might as well start now
for the vanilla zamak mrl they do this: class I_Truck_02_MRL_F: Truck_02_MRL_base_F {...};
wise fog
It looks fine, I think you would need to add the baseclass or it might complain though, its been awhile for me
terse plank
so the baseclass would be Car in this case?
(it's confusing because BI's configs don't do this, but their samples do...)
although the samples seem to be making new vehicles, so idk...
for example, to add a new car they start like:
class CfgVehicles
{
class Car;
class Car_F: Car
{
class HitPoints /// we want to use hitpoints predefined for all cars
{
class HitLFWheel;
class HitLF2Wheel;
class HitRFWheel;
class HitRF2Wheel;
class HitBody;
class HitGlass1;
class HitGlass2;
class HitGlass3;
class HitGlass4;
};
class EventHandlers;
};
class Test_Car_01_base_F: Car_F
{...```Like line 22/23 add : class Truck_02_MRL_base_F;
Would pull that one to inherit but not overwrite it like what you just posted, does
Class xxxx {}; would overwrite
terse plank
i see π€
so like
class CfgVehicles
{
class Truck_02_MRL_base_F;
class SKMOD_Truck_02_SAM_base_F: Truck_02_MRL_base_F
{...```?Yea, thats how I did it to reconfig a vehicle iirc - on mobile and its been awhile
π
terse plank
alright! great, thanks a lot
So should i do that for the magazines and weapons too?
(i assume i should, based on what you said...)
cfgmagazines wiki also raises dire sounding warnings lol
Caution should be exercised about 'expected' default values when inheriting. ANY added pbo can alter them substantially before your very eyes```why do you make a custom vehicle class?

thanks! that would be great. no hurry of course, I'm 2 months away from actually testing it of course lol

stoic lily
TLDR; give the Zamak MRL anti-air missiles instead of the rockets it has
you can just modify the original class, actually just weapon
even for an additional vehicle variant, you would make a subclass of the actual vehicle class and just replace weapons[] in its turret
whereas you inhert from base class (Truck_02_MRL_base_F)
terse plank
ah. ty will just do that instead then. i had assumed it was "good practice" or something to do it this way, since BI also defines the base class separately.
oh yeah, i also wanted to give it a datalink component...

Can someone explain to me how the position in userActions work?
I have a memory point placed where my proxy pilot is, but the userAction is not available until I set the radius to 5m. This also makes the useraction available outside the vehicle.. π€
it doesnt seem to matter where I place the memorypoint... its like it cant find it and its using the default postition which is the center of the vehicle or something. Im 100% sure I dont have a typo in the named selection
stoic lily
you can make a condition with the desired requirements, no?
@viral rapids may be able to assist as he did quite deep and excellent work improving the UA interaction
fathom thorn
yes I have a condition made, but it seems the radius is not set from my pilots position
I'd like it to be 1m
stoic lily
did you use scripting to visualize the mem points and the unit position?
fathom thorn
no, the mempoint is hard placed at my proxy position
and its part of the same selection as the turret, so it moves with it
or should be
I remember doing the same thing on an aircraft once, at it worked fine. this time its a tank and no so much
the mempoint should be placed where the proxy is right?
stoic lily
The command can look for selections in 4 (maybe more?) different LODs β VIEW, GEOM, FIRE and IFIRE, although the last 2 seem to return identical results. Note how it does not look in memory LOD. selectionPosition on the other hand searches in memory LOD too
fathom thorn
oh ok
stoic lily
well my insights on this is quite limited. if reyhard checks by, he should know
fathom thorn
ok thanks.
stoic lily
my main point is to try to visualize it first to see if your assumptions hold true
fathom thorn
I will

does anybody know if it's possible to move the point of the light source that flashes when shooting handweapons?
It seems the point of the source defaults to be at the chamber (muzzleend) or origin of the model and not at the muzzle where it ought to be
viral rapids
@stoic lily uhm uhm uhm uhm uhm
stoic lily
did you delete everything Arma related already from your memory? π
viral rapids
@strange egret iirc, you can assign/change the Point via Config.cpp
More or less^^ Haven't touched Arma for at least... puh... a year?
strange egret
maybe i'm overlooking things, but i cant find an option to do so
viral rapids
iirc, it was in one of the Baseclasses (should also be visible in the ingame ConfigViewer)
strange egret
fireLightDuration = 0.05;
fireLightIntensity = 0.2;
fireLightDiffuse[] = {0.937, 0.631, 0.259};
fireLightAmbient[] = {0, 0, 0};
is the only things i can find regarding that light
viral rapids
You talk about the Position of the MuzzleFlash, right?
(not that i missread something before, just 50% here)
@fathom thorn The easiest thing you can do: Look at the Arma 2-Sourcefiles π
fathom thorn
@stoic lily when using this
_v selectionPosition "pilot_control";
it definately uses my mempoint, since it not [0,0,0] and it changes when I move the turret
viral rapids
But iirc, the points should be placed in memLod
Are you sure, that you assigned a name to that point?
If it can't find it -> Somethings wrong in the model/point assignment
(can't remember how it was called^^ NamedVar?)
strange egret
https://abload.de/img/20180624144535_1yis0k.jpg - muzzleflash model no problem. But the light is clearly not spawned at the muzzle, but at the chamber. And for a long weapon like this it is very noticeable
fathom thorn
is the name pilot_control some universal name? its definately the same name in my mem lod as in my config
fathom thorn
gonna π
viral rapids
(but i doubt its protected)
fathom thorn
didnt work :\
weird thing is, when turning the radius down to 2m, I cant reach it from the cockpit
but I can when Im outside
on the walkable surface on top of the vehicle
@viral rapids would you place the pilot_control mempoint by the 90Β° angle on the proxy?
fathom thorn
Yes
viral rapids
Show me pls

statement = "[this] execvm ""\Macross_Destroids\scripts\change_visionmodes.sqf"";";
};
just to make sure you didnt miss my point @fathom thorn : you could add your own distance compution into condition as well as being inside the vehicle, etc
fathom thorn
hm
@viral rapids yeah its "cockpit_controls"
when Im outside on the roof (where the ? is in the screenshot) I can access it
cockpit_controls is also in the same vertex_group as the "MainTurret" so it moves with it
viral rapids
But it's a single point, right?
fathom thorn
yes
viral rapids
hm....
One thing i would try: Delete your TempFolder in PBOTools
Also: Try that
systemchat str [cursorObject selectionPosition ["cockpit_controls","Memory"]]``` (Yes, [] around it)Yep yep, HL me if needed.
fathom thorn
@viral rapids is it direction based?
the problem still persist. when I get in the option goes away
when I moved the mempoint out on the ground, I can confirm it works as it should with the desired radius
it just when sitting inside its a problem.
I also tried
position = "[systemchat str [cursorObject selectionPosition [""cockpit_controls"",""Memory""]]]";
but then I am able to access it from other areas aswell
viral rapids
What you mean "Sitting inside"?
fathom thorn
when Im in the vehicle
and radius is 2m, I dont get the useractions
but when I leave the vehicle and walk on top of it, I can
should the turret Im in have its own useractions? inside the turret class I mean?
viral rapids
So you want that UserAction as "Pilot/Driver"?
fathom thorn
yes
viral rapids
hmpf
You better checkout, how it was made in the SourceFiles, way easier than me explaining it
viral rapids
nope, not weird
fathom thorn
as soon as I get out I can access everything, even if its right beside it
viral rapids
Since you are "outside" as a Char, not inside as "part of the Vehicle" (more or less)
fathom thorn
but if I increase the radius while part of the vehicle, I get all the options aswell
if I set the radius to 5m

What BIS_fnc_initDisplay is used for?
Like in
class RscDisplayCurator
{
idd = 312;
scriptName = "RscDisplayCurator";
scriptPath = "CuratorDisplays";
onLoad = "[""onLoad"",_this,""RscDisplayCurator"",'CuratorDisplays'] call (uinamespace getvariable 'BIS_fnc_initDisplay')";
...
};
calls the display init function
opal crater
If I understand this correctly this executes RscDisplayCurator.sqf from ui_f_curator.
grand zinc
yes
opal crater
Why it is not executed directly then?
grand zinc
Because consistency is easier I guess. You just execute initDisplay and it automagically finds the correct script wherever it is
also I think CBA hooks into that for it's displayLoad XEH
opal crater
I mean is there any advantage from using this or can I just use function from function library like
...
onLoad = "[""onLoad"",_this] call VET_myFunc";
...
GUI stuff is still so black-magic for me ;|
grand zinc
Would have to look at the initDisplay code to check that. Can't do that right now. But I also use my own CfgFunction stuff usually.
opal crater
It had a lot of code in it when i was checking it out.
Is there any end to end gui tutorial? Or am i stuck with digging in BI extracted configs and searching on wiki in hope of finding something usefull? π
opal crater
Idk why but script created displays looks easier to me.
wise fog
they are more limited then config
opal crater
For example?
wise fog
can't do lots of styling with control create
its small things, for basic gui ctrl create will work well enough
but if its more complex with lots of different things/scripts changing/interacting with the gui its best to be made via config

Hi, does anyone know how to patch scopes to work with ACE3? I've figured out using the turrets to adjust the scopes, but I can't remove the ability to use the vanilla zeroing on the scope.
undone quiver
armorStructural = 0.8; // divides all damage taken to total hit point, either directly or through hit point passThrough coefficient. must be adjusted for each model to achieve consistent total damage results
Does that mean it divides the total damage given by a bullet?
undone quiver
Also, I would love to have some prove me wrong. But I feel the hitpoint system doesn't properly config at a base level. Matter of fact, it seems like no matter what level of resistance a bullet will always still do at least some damage to global health.

Heya folks,
anyone familar on how I can access the path to the TFAR beta addon?
We are specifically trying to reach a model, as swapping to the Beta broke our reskin.
TFAR's beta uses some odd characters (Beta!!!), and their configs use CBA's macro QPATHTOF. Looking at the CfgVehicles ingame were no avail, as they use ACE's dev environment style, so it points to something along the lines of z\addons\tfar_bags\ect, which won't work either.
Here's the config excerpt from one of the models in their addon as an example:
class TFAR_mr3000: TFAR_Bag_Base {
model = QPATHTOF(models\clf_nicecomm2_prc117g);
};
(Beta!!!) just in the workshop item. Not in the modfolder name or anywhere else
along the lines of z\addons\tfar_bags\ect, which won't work either. Nope. That works just fine. Because that's exactly what TFAR uses. If that doesn't work for you, you made a typo
The answer is, inherit from the proper class instead of trying to replicate the model path that you don't want to change anyway
sullen fulcrum
I did copy/paste the path directly from the in-game CfgVehicles, but you're right in that we can just inherit from it in the first place and be fine. Thank you
smoky sinew
Hey, I dont suppose anyone can explain to me what type = means in CfgWeapons and if Im trying to create my own items what I need to set the type to. e.g
class InventoryFirstAidKitItem_Base_F: InventoryItem_Base_F
{
type = 401;
};
The First aid kit is type 401 but when I look at the CfgWeapons refference it just says type = WeaponHardMounted
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/CfgWeapons_Config_Reference#Type.3DWeaponHardMounted and says its type integer but not what the integer represents?
grand zinc
Look into BIS_fnc_itemType
smoky sinew
ohh okay so that int identifies what type of item it is like if its a assult rifle, pistol, first aid kit etc so it can be used in other scripts etc?
smoky sinew
right so I take it if Im creating my own item that doesnt fall under any of those itemTypes do I just give it like 0 as an item type?
grand zinc
If you do that it probably won't work in Arsenal
But yeah. You could do that I guess
unless 0 is already a special type
smoky sinew
hmm okay but say I gave it the same item type as say a first aid kit would it then mean whenever the character has one on them they can heal
grand zinc
Don't know. Could be but doesn't have to
smoky sinew
theres an 'unknown' item type that is probably what I want to categories this as so it works in arsenal but It doesnt list what the number is for that
grand zinc
check bis_fnc_itemType. It has all numbers
grand zinc
look into the script file
smoky sinew
oh ok looking at the script itself it looks like any number not categorised already gets defaulted to UnknownEquipment
switch _infoType do {
case 101: {"AccessoryMuzzle"};
case 201: {"AccessorySights"};
case 301: {"AccessoryPointer"};
case 302: {"AccessoryBipod"};
case 401: {"FirstAidKit"};
case 605: {_itemCategory = "Equipment"; "Headgear"};
case 619: {"Medikit"};
case 620: {"Toolkit"};
case 621: {"UAVTerminal"};
case 701: {_itemCategory = "Equipment"; "Vest"};
case 801: {_itemCategory = "Equipment"; "Uniform"};
default {"UnknownEquipment"};
};

how would go about inheriting the CSAT tempest covered, because Im having this weird issue where the new class doesnt inherit the hitpoint class

class my_new_truck: O_Truck_03_covered_F

``` this is all that im doing, but it doenst inherit the hitpoints class
narrow swallow
What are you observing that looks wrong?

well whenever I spawn it in, the game says theres no entry for htipoints/whatever the first hitpoints class is
and so I used config viewer and saw that while the class names under the hitpoints class is there, like hitfuel for example, they where all empty

A reskinned vest has the wrong texture at a distance, I assume because of the LOD. anyone know how to fix that?
strange egret
assign the correct texture?
unless its not your model, then ask the author to fix it
sullen fulcrum
The retexture is ours. It's a reskin of an RHS vest.
strange egret
ask them to fix it (if they even allow retexture of that vest)
sullen fulcrum
They do. I changed our configs to inherit from the vest directly, rather than just using the base vest class. Same model is being used. So it's obviously a config issue, which is why I'm here asking.
narrow swallow
Try inheriting from an existing scope and go from there.
sullen fulcrum
That's what we're doing, but that scope has some sort of LOD that's a very different color from our retexture.
Is there a way to change that in the config? Something like changing the texture on the LOD.

grand zinc
The error happens because that class doesn't have the entries it needs
so either you give it all the entries it should have. Or you leave it away.
sullen fulcrum
Alright. If I see the errors in the future, I'll endeavor to find a different build tool. Thanks
edit: actually, if anyone could recommend one to me - or how to configure makePBO to build despite config inherence errors, please let me know. It is insistent that classes must be pre-declared outside of object-classes, such as AnimationSources above, which leads to a ton of errors.
scarlet oyster
@sullen fulcrum your class animationSources is on the wrong level. Its in cfgVehicles>>animationSources while it should be in cfgVehicles>>yourVehicle>>animationSources
sullen fulcrum
You are correct indeed, Mondkalb. As I have recently learned, that is the proper way to do it - but makePbo v. 197.6.03 is not smart enough to realize that, and forces declaration outside of an object's class. Ded has just pointed me towards armake, which is open source + less likely to have build issues like this
grand zinc
Ohhh.
Armake will also want that
Are you inheriting from AnimationSources?
And that's why it throws the error?
You said you need a "declaration" but you put a "definition" into your CfgVehicles class which are different things.
scarlet oyster
This sounds more like a lack of understanding in config inheritance than a tool-issue.
{
class baseVehicle;
class baseCar : baseVehicle
{
class AnimationSources; // note the ; at end of line, not {};
};
class myCar : baseCar
{
class AnimationSources : AnimationSources
{
class SomeAnimSource
{
// yourthings
};
};
};
};```This is likely what you are missing.

Hello fellow config editors
This config reference explains in detail about all the config values for cfgVehicles
But in not all of them
uniform and headgear and other charachter cfgVehciles are not explained here
Is the 2nd link the only place where they are explained, I'm not sure if this is the full list of possible config values for charachter cfgVehicles
grand zinc
yeah.. Config inheritance is the same everywhere
stark gust
I was just wondering, because it's deep inside the thing
grand zinc
something no works. You tell. We helps.

would Unit0 part work?

no

copy Unit0 into BUS_InfTeam?

you are trying to create BUS_InfTeam 4 times which won't work

is it possible to link goggles to a helmet, similar to how nvgs can be linked to helmets? For example link a diving goggle to a certain helmet

You want to add a group inside the group?
You are already inheriting everything from BUS_InfTeam

so if BUS_InfTeam has a Unit0 then you also already inherited it

Why are you creating FP_Faction_nude_Unit2 then if you only want to edit the existing ones?
Unit3 is a syntax error
stark gust
Well I want an exact copy
grand zinc
and you are creating new units inheriting from Unit3-
You should modify Unit3. Not copy it
stark gust
I want an exact copy of the BUS_InfTeam saved into FP_Faction_nude_BusInfTeam with vehicle changed for every unit
ooo
wait lemme try
grand zinc
class BUS_InfTeam;
class FP_Faction_nude_BUS_InfTeam: BUS_InfTeam {

class Unit0 {

class Unit1 {

};
class Unit2 {
vehicle = "FP_Faction_nude_B_soldier_GL_F"
};
class Unit3 {
vehicle = "FP_Faction_nude_B_soldier_LAT_F"
};
};
you probably should also change the groups name.
stark gust
Right
That makes mroe sense now
Group name is fine
Okay thanks, I think I understand now
I thought that if i do unit0 {};
it will not have any old properties
But I see now

Ohh copying only works on the same leveel
I've been misinterpertring the copying
I think
aah
I still seem to have ran into a issue
class CfgGroups {
class West {
class BLU_F;
class FP_Faction_NUDE_B_F: BLU_F {
This gives me a copy of BLU_F?
But it doesn't
I mean
it creates copy only if I don't put {} after it
If I put { It will not copy anything
So basically I have to make 2 pbos
1 to make a copy
2 to make edits in the the copy I made
class CfgGroups {
class West {
class BLU_F;
class FP_Faction_NUDE_B_F: BLU_F {
name = "Nude Blufor";
class Infantry {
class BUS_InfSquad; // how do I copy BLU_F >> Infantry >> BUS_InfSquad here !?!?!
@grand zinc Comment on the last line here
stark gust
I guess I can't and have to make 2 pbos or write a complete copy by hand
grand zinc
CTRL+C -> CTRL+V
You can just not inherit anything and just copy the whole config over..
Then you don't need to worry about crap
Groups config is soo easy
stark gust
I wanna inherit it
and only edit a small part
inside a subClass
Copy the whole config over
Hmm
I guess you mean by hand
grand zinc
I could explain config stuff for half an hour. Or you just copy paste
stark gust
[6:04 PM] nigel: 1 to make a copy
[6:04 PM] nigel: 2 to make edits in the the copy I made

If so, then I belive I understand

Hello, i'm currently working with a custom map, i bring some custom houses to arma 3, i would like to configure the buildingPos in them, how can i do that ?
im talking about theses positions : https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/buildingPos
is that the good place for this ?
wild pasture
The positions returned by that command are from the model's Path LOD. There is a house in the Arma 3 Samples that will have an example of how the Path LOD is configured.
Since it's editing a model #arma3_model is the more appropriate channel for the future

Good, i will make some research on theses path LOD, thanks you

hey i have an issue that i just cant seem to fix. I have made a gate (WIP) that will have a blinking light when it opens up. Now, i have succesfully created that light and it blinks when the gate is opened YES. the only thing is, there is this other light that is in the middle of the entire model, that is static. There are no memory points in the p3d for this, hence it being in the middle. but there is nothing in the config that could create this iether. Does anyone know how to fix this?
class Reflectors
{
class Beacon1
{
color[] = {244,140,66};
ambient[] = {244.140,66,6};
intensity = 0.1;
size = 1; /// size of the light point seen from distance
innerAngle = 360; /// angle of full light
outerAngle = 360; /// angle of some light
coneFadeCoef = 4; /// attenuation of light between the above angles
position = "Beacon1_pos"; /// memory point for start of the light and flare
direction = "Beacon1_dir"; /// memory point for the light direction
hitpoint = "Beacon1_hitpoint"; /// point(s) in hitpoint lod for the light (hitPoints are created by engine)
selection = "Beacon1_pos"; /// selection for artificial glow around the bulb, not much used any more
useFlare = true;
flareSize = 1;
flareMaxDistance = 130;
class Attenuation
{
start = 0;
constant = 0;
linear = 0;
quadratic = 0.3;
hardLimitStart = 50;
hardLimitEnd = 65;
};
};
};
};
https://i.imgur.com/QV4RAkM.jpg this is the motherf*cker that shouldnt be there.
Little side note, it starts blinking as well when i enable the animation, but when the animation isnt enabled its just static. It share the same light as the blinking one as well

Light on buildings cannot be hide - you can only kill them with sethitpointdamage
As I also mentioned before things can be also tweaked too by adding always retracted suspension

grand zinc
soundname, volume, frequency

Okay, and in the case of the third number it would perhaps be the distance then? reloadMagazineSound[] = {"<soundname>", 0.3, 1, 20}; from another weapon config on our svn

yes. Indeed.
If you omit that parameter then distance = volume * 1000

I'm trying to reskin the AAF officer uniform and can't seem to affect it. I can reskin the CSAT officer uniform just fine.
Using the config below, the CSAT variant of the officer uniform will use the new custom skin, but the AAF version will appear normal.
I'm checking them in arsenal from the main menu.
Vehicle config for my uniform:
class Custom_Uniform_TShirt: O_officer_F {
author = "Kal";
scope = 2;
displayName = "Custom Combat Life Saver";
uniformClass = "Custom_Camo_TShirt";
hiddenSelections[] = {"camo", "insignia"};
hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = { QPATHTOF(data\uniforms\officer_spc_co) };
};
swapping that O_Officer to I_Officer swaps the model, but the AAF officer uniform does not use the custom skin.
Seems to be a common issue with AAF/indp gear, honestly.

class ItemInfo: InventoryFirstAidKitItem_Base_F
{
mass = 8;
};
};
My Defib:
class test_defibrillator: ItemCore
{
displayName="Defibrillator";
scope=2;
picture="\test_medical\icons\defibrillator.icon.paa";
model="\A3\Structures_F_EPA\Items\Medical\Defibrillator_F.p3d";

class ItemInfo: InventoryFirstAidKitItem_Base_F
{
mass = 8;

Ahh many thanks, now I know how to fix my models
grand zinc
Okey. My model is already vertical. And it's still bugging into the ground and standing vertically. @hot pine which way is correct? Do I need any more properties?
The models that are horizontal in the P3D is also laying horizontally
hot pine
can you show me pic from object builder?
are you placing those objects in eden or just throwing them away from player inventory?
grand zinc
https://s.sqf.ovh/arma3_2018-07-12_14-20-09.jpg
Top one is the one laying on the side. Bottom one is the one standing up. Exactly the same ingame as in the model.
Ahhh.. I'm placing them in Zeus.
hot pine
model = "\A3\Weapons_F\DummyItemHorizontal.p3d";
grand zinc
But if I lay them down from inventory. Both radio's are correctly laying on the ground. Even though they have different orientations
hot pine
weapons are using different weapon holder
grand zinc
Ah yeah. I'm using a "Item_Base_F" Vehicle for the Zeus placed ones. That's probably the difference to the weapon holder
But if I drop them from inventory, orientation doesn't seem to matter at all. Both are placed correctly on the ground
hot pine
when you drop "weapon" on the ground there is automatically created weapon holder - that's why orientation is correct

Okay so, I'm trying to make a custom faction addon. I have cfgFactionClasses set up as so:
class cfgFactionClasses { class Test_Faction { displayName = "Test Forces"; priority = 2; side = 2; // Opfor = 0, Blufor = 1, Indep = 2. icon = "My_Mod\img\logo.paa"; }; };
With side=2 so my new faction will be an Indep faction.
My CfgVehicles has three units added to it. One AAF AT soldier, a Hemmit, and a Ifrit. Each has their faction set to my custom faction: (truncated listing)
class CfgVehicles{ class I_G_Soldier_LAT_F; class B_Truck_01_transport_F; class My_Soldier: I_G_Soldier_LAT_F { nakedUniform = "U_BasicBody"; faction = "Test_Faction"; }; class My_Hemmit: B_Truck_01_transport_F{ scope = 2; displayName = "My Hemmit"; faction = "Test_Faction" }
The problem I'm having is that, once packed up and loaded into the game, my new faction doesn't just appear as an Indep faction in the editor. I get a "Test Forces"group in the Blufor tab, with just the Hemmit, I get one in the Opfor tab with just the Ifrit, and one in the Indep tab with the Soldier. I was under the impression that setting faction = My_test_Faction in the class entry of CfgVehicles would make all the units show up under that faction, which was set to side 2, so they should all be in the same Indep tab.
What am I missing here?
runic void
...figured it out, minutes after giving up and asking for help. I needed to set side=2 on each vehicle class regardles of setting the faciton. Now I just need to figure out what's wrong with my reskin.

From the BiWiki, the model value in CfgAmmo:
"Declares path to model. For simulation="shotShell" the model gets displayed, but only up to a limit of somewhere between 390 and 450 m/s initspeed. Unknown if other simulationclasses behave different. The model does not get displayed when tracers are created [via the cfgmagazine token tracersevery=<number>; ]. Models for tracers get hardcode-deformed and scaled based on speed and ammo hit "
So, what defines a tracer? I want to make a custom tracer but it only appears as soon ans the projectile velocity drops below about 400 m/s, therefore I assume it's treated as "model", not a "tracer". Where do I define the tracer p3d so it will be treaded as tracer and be actually visible in velocities over 400ms.
Nope, I can't use vanilla tracer.

@sick zephyr Tracers are just ordinary models, the model gets stretched depending on bullet speed and the tracer scale settings, and also does not adjust rotation
to get tracers, magazine needs to be setup for it
sick zephyr
Okay so magazine with tracers will fire model stretched and with no tracers will fire unmodified model, but with speed restrictions
Right?

thats what i concluded yes

^is something for the script channel - might want to show how and what you call, otherwise its like asking the crystal ball

Or atleast show the actual config entries

Does anybody know how I could make the sound of plane wheels rolling on the ground during takeoff? I already have the sound for it I just need to know how to make it work in my config under "class sounds".

So I'm having trouble enabling hiddenselections on a custom model. Currently I have the hiddenselections in every visual LOD (camo and camo1), in the config as hiddenSelections[]= and then the corresponding textures, and in the model.cfg. They don't show up as working. I know it's pretty amateur but am I missing something obvious that won't make them show up? I've cross referenced with my other custom models that do have working hiddenselections

Does AI account for velocity of a weapon when aiming?

Of course, that's why side gunners on helicopters are so accurate when shooting at ground targets
fathom thorn
@tiny sky hiddenSelections should not contain the texture, but the name of the selection. HiddenSelectionTextures should contain the texture
tiny sky
@fathom thorn Yep, that's what i meant. I have the selection in hiddenSelections
Same thing that's in the sections part of the model.cfg and the selections on the model
fathom thorn
Hm sounds correct to me. Double check your selections. See if they dont share vertex groups with other selections
Is the name of your p3d the same as your cfgModels class?
tiny sky
Yep, there's no additional problems with any of the animations or whatever else comes out of the cfgModels class, so I don't think it's that. Just double checked again to be sure

I can have a look if you send me the workfolder
@tiny sky whats not working exactly. Are they always visible?
tiny sky
@fathom thorn Basically it just shows the same texture (in this case, both the tan and black variants of the vest show up as tan) as what's coded to the P3D model
tiny sky
Uploading now, I'll DM you

Can I add an class to config through server.cfg?
grand zinc
no
grand creek
Thx
This would be useful for addon configuration
Maybe I could add custom lines to server.cfg and retrieve them from .sqf?
grand creek
I was thinking how I would implement the TFAR enforcement as an addon. At some point ts server name will have to be configured for the addon. Maybe file patching is an option then.
grand zinc
filePatching or just CBA settings
You might need the addon on clientside too to configure the CBA settings. not sure
grand creek
Yeah I was hoping to make the whole addon server side
grand zinc
yeah. You can
You just need it on client to change the server name
if you use CBA settings system

hi guys. can I change the name of the driver position like I can with the gunner?
gunnerName = "Pilot";

When a weapon has a bipod, wat determines how much the bipod effects the accuracy/recoil of the weapon?
like im thinking of making a weapon that has super good recoil control when on a bipod more then it would normally

Morning lads. I hate to show my absolute incompetence here but I was hoping you'd be able to help me out. A friend of mine has made me a CamelBak that i'm looking to get into game., however, I wouldnt have the faintest idea as to where to start. I was hoping that one of you boy would be able to send me in the right direction, many thanks! If this is the wrong discussion entirely I apologise!

@fathom thorn Cheers fella, wasn't sure if processes used for 'objects' were the same as 'equipment' on personnel. Guess i've got a lot of catching up/watching to do. Cheers man have a pleasant day!

hi guys. how can I adjust the recoil of my vehicle weapon? I'd like to turn it down or turn it off completely as it can almost tip my vehicle over to the side. I've tried setUnitRecoilCoefficient but it didnt affect my vehicle at all
neither did 'recoil = "empty";' in Mode_Fullauto
fathom thorn
not did maxRecoilSway = 0;
