but this will drop all other actions defined previously

Hello, when within range of the object this interaction menu does not show up. When changing the condition to true however it does.
{
title = "ServicePoint Re-Arm";
condition = "(count (nearObjects [(getPos player), ['Land_fs_feed_F'],5]) >0)";
action = "_this call Bones_fnc_servicePointRearmMenu";
}```
so i assume the condition is returning false although im within range. ANy ideas?

check your syntax - you've mixed up the syntax of nearObjects and nearestObjects

1.2 Repair Vehicles
Allows full repair based on setting fullRepairLocation (not enabled by default)
Can easily be set via 3den attribute.
SetVar: "ACE_isRepairVehicle" - true or false
Config: ace_repair_canRepair - 0 or 1
Is the doc misleading, or does that mean that in config 0 means true and 1 means false ?

@dusk jungle let's not spam the scripting channel. I finally understood what is going on with this anim stuff. But if I understand well, if I define an animation source for the turret rotation based on user input, I might end up with a turret movable via script, but not via mouse, am I right ?

Answer to that is.. The proxy class has simulation type of proxyweapon or proxysecweapon.
And the rest is hardcoded. It first renders weapons then magazines, then items, then backpacks

How can I remove the "Inventory" UserAction from a Ammobox?
setting supplyRadius to 0 doesn't work.
I think I could add a memoryPointSupply and just put it so far away that no one will get to it. But that's really hacky
hot pine
there is parameter to disable inventory
I think when you disable it scripting commands should still works though
grand zinc
I want to keep the inventory itself. Like being able to add items via 3DEN Attributes. But not have the user be able to access it
hot pine
disableInventory = 1;
as I've mentioned above script commands should still work with it

@hot pine salvo (cfgAmmo) new AI paramter to tell/recommend how much ammo to use per target or sth?
agile karma
burst?
stoic lily
hm dont quite get it. why is salvo=1 defined then in some ammo?
1 should be default, is it not?
hot pine
in ammo?
it's fire mode parameter
enum SALVO_TYPE: char { ST_DEFAULT = 0, ST_BOMBING /serial (bombing) releasing/,ST_MIRROR /paralel from mirror pylons/, ST_ALL /all pylons with same ammo/ };
so it seems I was wrong 😛
stoic lily
yeah sorry my bad - meant cfgWeapons
hot pine
so to sum it up, salvo = 2 will fire two rockets at once
but any other number will change how it works
stoic lily
ty 👍
strange egret
there is a salvo possibility now? how long did this exist already?
is that just for pylons, or also regular weapon?
untold temple
Was in Jets DLC at least
for a while on dev branch, the planes would drop all their bombs at once - IIRC oukej mentioned it was down to the salvo configuration
strange egret
it would be handy for multibarrel weapons that shoot in sync, e.g. ZSU-57-2 if it works for ordinary weapons
untold temple
multiple barrel mem points for a single muzzle doesn't work on ground vehicles anyway AFAIK
strange egret
it works for "machine gun" weapons no problem (see vanilla AA tanks)
untold temple
Isn't that just animating the mem point between two places, or a dispersion trick with custom muzzle FX?
strange egret
you define multiple points and it cycles through them in order with each shot
thats where the bullets spawn. You have to animate the muzzle effect manually however
but to make it synchronised without dedicated option you need reloadtime=0, and magazines with 2 shots each (for 2 synchronous shots), so you have to use magazinereloadtime for "rpm". Which sucks because you need dozends of magazines for a couple of hundred rounds
untold temple
weird, I thought the array form of memoryPointGun, had stopped working on ground vehicles in A3
strange egret
nope. But you cant use it for weapons that use simulation shotShell because they use gunBeg + gunEnd instead of memorypointGun[]

would there possibly be a way to change the color of blood if they were to wear a certain armor?

How do I prevent a gunner turret position from seeing the radar UI of the vehicle?
I've tried gunnerCanSee = "2+4+8+16"; in the main config and also canUseScanner = 0; in the turret.

Hey folks, just wondering: will having multiple exact same entries in CfgPatches requiredAddons[] section cause any issues?
For example, in my CfgPatches I have requiredAddons[]={"Mug_EditorPreviews_F"}; but when I Crunch in pboProject with the 'rebuild requiredAddons' flag/option turned on I get this in the resulting config file: requiredAddons[] = {"Mug_EditorPreviews_F","Mug_EditorPreviews_F","Mug_Characters_F_BLUFOR","A3_Weapons_F","A3_Characters_F_Exp","A3_Characters_F_Common"}; I don't think it's a huge issue but I just wanted to be sure, thanks!
raven ocean
Thanks @stoic lily - I've spent the last little bit trying to figure out what's causing it (or if in the grand scheme of things it would hurt anything) but was coming up empty. Appreciate it!
hard chasm
that's definately an 'undocumented feature' in my code. It does no harm because the engine doesn't know it's the same until it encounters it, and then treats it as having been loaded (which it is, to get to that point)
Will fix in next release.
raven ocean
Thanks for clarifying

I am trying to retrieve animationSourcePhase but it always gives me 0. Am I doing something wrong?
Animating using : this animateSource ["Map_Scale", 0.2];"
//config .cpp

{
source="user";
animPeriod=1;
initPhase=1;
}
}
Retrieving:

@grand zinc sorry, been instructed to ask here, should I delete there?
grand zinc
yeah.. I think.. Atleast then I guess it doesn't count as crossposting
wise tusk
Ok deleted. Now I animated it, and value should be 0.2 and it returns 0
sullen fulcrum
Show your corresponding model.cfg
wise tusk
@sullen fulcrum Actually it is animated using new UVAnimations
sullen fulcrum
Have you read this? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/animateSource
wise tusk
@sullen fulcrum yes I did. I used that command to animate the UV , everything animates perfectly, but when I am trying to retrieve animationSourcePhase it gives me 0
sullen fulcrum
Maybe it is not meant to be used like that, have you tried animate and animationPhase? Sorry I am not familiar with UV animations
wise tusk
@sullen fulcrum animationPhase works flawlessly. However I cant get animationSourcesPhase to work, it only returns something different than 0 when I for example us it with "direction" source vehicle player animationSourcePhase "direction"

Hello, guys! I want to ask advice on some pbo prefix issue.
There is a major bug (link https://feedback.bistudio.com/T127848), which prevents battleye from working on 1000+ addons setup.
Im trying to compress the addons from a large mods that use mod prefix into a few big addons, and looks like i can't define more than one pbo with the same prefix.
Do you know any way to bypass this, or may be i am doing something wrong?
grand zinc
and looks like i can't define more than one pbo with same prefix. correct.
What you could do with ACE for example is instead of tons of pbo's with z\ace\addons<module> prefix. Just make a single huge pbo with just the z\ace\addons\ prefix and all the module folders inside it
or you could just use no prefix at all and put the z folder and below directly into your pbo
hard jolt
yep, thats what i am trying, but mikero tool stops at 2gb
at least you made me sure i am on a right path, thanks for that
will try now to make one addon with folder1/folder2 and another with folder1 prefix and inside folder2 folder)
grand zinc
Pbo's sizelimit is 2gb.
has nothing to do with prefix
2147,48MB to be exact
To be even more exact 2147,48MB offset from start of pbo till the start of the last file.
Putting the largest file at the end of the pbo you could get more out of it.. But I couldn't try that out yet. and you'd need a custom packer for that
hard jolt
Well, splitting prefix into addons is no luck. Looks like one 2gb addon per mod is all we can do

Hi guys, is it possible to overwrite an existing class in order to update a class (EG: CUP buildings with 'outdated' doors not supporting being locked etc.)?

grand zinc
you can edit entries in a existing class yes.
craggy pike
All I've found so far is to inherit the original class, edit out what I want, but no luck on overwriting an existing one. (Mikero keeps telling me I can't pack it, because of double classes detected)
Care to share what I'm missing? I now do this weird class declarations, will be posting example.
grand zinc
Mikero keeps telling me I can't pack it, because of double classes detected you wrote your config wrongly then
craggy pike
Could be, hence me coming here. Reached the end of my knowledge regarding configs.
grand zinc
class itsParent;
class youWannaEditThis : itsParent {
entryToChange = newValue;
}
Oh and I guess that my way actually does everything to preserve the original?
lass Land_deox_fachwerkE1;
class Land_deox_fachwerkE1temp1: Land_deox_fachwerkE1

};
class CloseDoor_1: CloseDoor_1
{
statement = "[this, 'Door_1_rot', 1, 0] call ARM_Admin_fnc_handleDoorsFix;";
};
};
};
Anyway, will try it out. Thanks incognito Dedmen. 😄
grand zinc
your code looks good though.. But the temp ones are weird
you usually implement these class externs that you have in your temps in the original classes that it inherits
craggy pike
Yeah I know it's actually written by a scraper tho.
grand zinc
you are not editing that class you are creating a new one. And if you wanna edit you can't use such temp things. The parent needs to match
craggy pike
(I wrote scraper no worries lol)
Ok I'll see if I can understand /rephrase that.
Okay so my issue was the redeclaring?
Oh no I see, I actually did 1 step too much?
grand zinc
You created a new Land_deox_fachwerkE1_Fixed class. Not edit some existing class
Also does the original really inherit UserActions from somewhere?
if the original didn't inherit then you also don't need to
craggy pike
A bit vague (did this last night) but IMO the UA were empty if not specifically defined.
I'll give your initial code a try, but still don't see how that would overwrite the original though.
Oh I'm stupid 😄
I see, so I move up a parent from the class I want to edit!
God damn inheritance
craggy pike
class House_F;
class Land_deox_fachwerkE1 : House_F {
class UserActions
{
class OpenDoor_1
{
statement = "[this, 'Door_1_rot', 1, 1] call ARM_Admin_fnc_handleDoorsFix;";
};
class CloseDoor_1: OpenDoor_1 {
statement = "[this, 'Door_1_rot', 1, 0] call ARM_Admin_fnc_handleDoorsFix;";
};
};
};
Works as intended, thx Ded.
lofty zealot
need some guidance on something i never dived into: vehicles & units and their inventory stuff
is there some way to actually define where and how many inventories a vehicle/unit has? or is that predefined by the game?
rigid token
@lofty zealot you mean this stuff? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/CfgVehicles_Config_Reference#transportAmmo
lofty zealot
nope
something like actual inventories on a vehicle
though ... if you send me that, i assume that objects always only have one inventory 🙈 😄
thus units are special only in that regard that they can carry a backpack etc
rigid token
oh i was wondering what you meant by inventories. yea i think that stuff is probably hardcoded
depending on what you want to do you can check out the inventory related EHs (inventoryOpened/closed, take, etc) and see what they give you just for research
lofty zealot
not doing anything actual arma related
it is all for my sqf-vm project
which is why i hope that i do not need to dive too deep into config stuff with vehicles 🙈
wise tusk
How do I define position of pilot head view in cockpit?
astral pagoda
That's dependent on animation
wise tusk
@astral pagoda not the pilot proxy?
astral pagoda
Well of course it depends where you place the pilot, but if you want to keep pilot in place and change only head (view), you need to change anim
wise tusk
@astral pagoda thats what I thought, just thought there was a way to place camera via config, to get rid of the pilots body
astral pagoda
Can you please stop tagging me? Thanks! 😃
wise tusk
Sorry, my bad ;/
wise tusk
I just want to make the body of pilot invisible in ViewPilot LOD to see every gauge and knobs in my cockpit
astral pagoda
Well maybe you can make animation so hideous, that you will basically move away pilot's body and leave head where it should be 
wise tusk
Although that might not be the case as it also alters outside lod ;/
rigid token
@wise tusk i mean. how hacky do you want to go here? 😄 my first thought was invis uniform or hideObject on the pilot when he is in the vehicle. although i'm guessing that won't work on a vehicle proxy. but never tested it. hide anim on the proxy didn't work because it offsets the whole thing to somewhere else, right? including camera
wise tusk
Hide anim didnt work at all, just no result when I click it via action . I find it weird that I cant hide my body 😃
astral pagoda
It's not weird. No one needed that, so it's not in engine.
wise tusk
No worries, my requirements are weird 😉
hot pine
oh, actually you could try player setObjectTexture [0,""];
although hands will be still visible if character doesn't wear gloves
you could retrieve first textures with https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/getObjectTextures, store them and depending on conditions
wise tusk
@hot pine thanks reyhard will try now 😃
wise tusk
Ok it is working now, thanks 😃
The hideObject command worked. Thing is, on the outside of vehicle it hides only in 3rd person view. In vehicle however it hides character body both from 3rd view and first person
untold temple
why do you need to hide the character anyway instead of just forcing in to some kind of optics view?
wise tusk
I am doing clickable cockpit and some parts of cockpit are hidden behind arms
rigid token
then you should probably do Kllrt's first suggestion of basically having a animation a cargo animation that puts all bones in one place to squish the pilot for better hiding him and then do optics view. that should pretty much cover it
untold temple
Wonder if you could make some IK animation in the cockpit to move the arm out of the way when looking in certain directions

Is it possible to do any kind of loops within a preprocessor command? Im trying to neatly create X duplicates of a class where only 1 variable is different.
grand zinc
Yes sure
#define
the core of the preprocessor.
Just give the different variable as a argument to your macro
#define M(var) this is var
M(1)
M(2)
M(3)
M(4)
->
this is 1
this is 2
this is 3
this is 4
That would require 4 calls to the macro, Can i not have 1 call to M(4) which would inturn call M2(1), M2(2),M2(3),M(4). With the var "4" being any number i want ?

Vehicle (inherits car_f) with driver, gunner (turret) x2, cargo x1. All in "Compartment 1".
Gunners and Cargo can move to Driver seat. Driver can not move to any other seat.
How to give driver ability to switch seat please?
wheat stream
if other seats are empty he cannot move ?
hot pine
@nimble sequoia does vehicle have turn in/out option?
hot pine
well, you can use ```
hideProxyInCombat = 1;
canHideDriver = 0;
viewDriverInExternal = 1;
it's because driver is turned out & rest of seats are turned in
some sort of bug in game which I tried to fix once but didn't have time to solve it
you can also notice that driver is using external sounds all the time
nimble sequoia
Ah that explains a lot, thanks!
what does canHideDriver = -1 mean? it's inherited
hot pine
-1 = default behavior
whatever default is
If I remember correctly turn in/out availability was calculated automatically in ofp times
so -1 param was introduced to retain backward compatibility
nimble sequoia
default behaviour meaning what the hard-coded default value is?
hot pine
dunno, it's some ofp legacy stuff
nimble sequoia
ok
wheat stream
probably ignored so it inherits from parent , maybe it errored without any value
nimble sequoia
thing is, there's only 1 entry so there's nothing to inherit (mrap_01_base_f, all the way back to class All)
wheat stream
sorry i meant in OFP legacy
nimble sequoia
Thanks @hot pine , that's fixed the issue. 😃
wheat stream
think ill use it on my Bus it was a pain on that too
hot pine
ah, and obviously, if you force driver turned in then you have to define driverInAction but I guess you figured it out already
nimble sequoia
Yes, driver was waving his hands around like a loony, rather than gripping the wheel 😉
Interestingly it's also fixed the gunner turret which was initialising with gunner turned out. Now it's gunner turned in, as desired.

Are Class CompartmentsLights {} a new thing? How do they differ from Class Reflectors {}?

CPGunner Turret - turned in (no firing) and FFV when turned-out.
If the gunner rotates during FFV and then turns back in, his turned-in animation maintains the rotation he had while turned-out, resulting in large torso and direction of view twist. The turned-in animation doesn't reset. Is this a bug or configuration error?
nimble sequoia
It's just a normal turret which can be turned-in or turned-out. When turned-out it has FFV.
wheat stream
maybe i am misreading it mate , it sounded like a turret that had an additional turret , rather than just a turret with a gun
it seems a turret you fire your personal gun
nimble sequoia
it's 'turret' as in Class Turrets
wheat stream
firing a weapon attached to the turret or personal weapon on turn out ??
nimble sequoia
personal weapon - "FFV" means Firing From Vehicle
wheat stream
yeah so i was saying , sounds like a nightmare to add a cargo turret to a Cpturret when turned out , i was interested as i treid one with my BangBus
maybe its the maxturn in the cargo turret is too much ?
nimble sequoia
I'm not adding a turret to a turret
wheat stream
i think i had similar with 0- 360
CPGunner Turret - turned in (no firing) and FFV when turned-out. << i misunderstood this then
nimble sequoia
No worries. It's a single turret, using config values to allow turn-out and then firing from vehicle when turned out.
wheat stream
what is extremety of FFV
maxElev = 360;
minElev = -360;
maxTurn = 360;
minTurn = -360;
isPersonTurret = 1;
like that ?
nimble sequoia
much less (can't open config to check right now), something like +-45deg. But the point it, even if he rotates 1 deg, that rotation is 'remembered' when he turns back in
wheat stream
maybe its the init value of the position in the turret and the ffv are mismatched or turned in anim vs ffv relaxed anim
nimble sequoia
sorry...copied completely the wrong turret code up there...
wheat stream
but reason i thought i could add was i know my owm turret used to flip over the hips when the exremeity of the FFV was too much
nimble sequoia
turret configs are a right pain, so many interacting variables
wheat stream
well i just made a custom FFV and believe me it was an Ass , then i saw that BIS had left names in the sample.rtm when they saved them for backpack slots and things so it killed me to redo all them too
or i got error in rpt bone backpack slot doesn not exist in skeleton argh !!!
my bus has 20 turrets and 6 FFVS took me weeks to understand it partly and still dont 😃
nimble sequoia
can your FFV passengers turn-in?
wheat stream
no they are sitting ina Jacuzzi on a bus roof believe it or not
nimble sequoia
lol
wheat stream
i think maybe its an inherittance of this turret for you something like initTurn= 0; or similar
maybe resets on turn in and twist the guy or the FFV is not relaxing
maybe it need to reset rtm in a class somehwere
nimble sequoia
It's inheriting initTurn=0
wheat stream
yeah not exactly that but some class maybe
minOutElev = -4;
maxOutElev = 20;
initOutElev = 0;
minOutTurn = -60;
maxOutTurn = 60;
initOutTurn = 0;
nimble sequoia
yeah, before continuing to try finding a config fix I wanted to check if anyone was going to say "it's a known bug"
wheat stream
all them to consider or not ?
i think you have a unique thing so your the alpha ester lol
nimble sequoia
a passenger who can turn-out and fire definitely isn't unique
wheat stream
ah then you have something to at least reffrence
what is a standard vehicle that will do it ?
livid heath
sorry, what specifically is the issue?
i have added FFV seats in our type 63 APC where the proxies are animated by the hatch source, to force them to face a specific direction (they are along the side benches facing inwards turned in, and facing outwards when turned out), in case that helps.
nimble sequoia
@livid heath Thanks Rob. After they have turned out, raised their guns and rotated to maxTurn, then turned back in again, does the seated animation look ok, or is their torso twisted and view pointing in the direction that they were when turned out and FFV?
livid heath
short vid incoming for you mate, just uploading it
livid heath
that's the model.cfg entries for animating the proxies
bit of a workaround, but it works mostly ok
is that the kind of effect you're attempting to achieve?
nimble sequoia
Thanks for the video - we already use a similar process, cargo proxy animation triggered by an event such as hatch opening.
The question I'm asking though is about a bug we see with this:
After you turned out, and raised the gun to shoot...ROTATE to maximum turn (either left or right). Don't go back to 'centre'. Then turn-in and look at your seated character. Is he still sitting straight?
In your video after shooting you went back to the centre position before turning back in.
hot pine
are you keeping ffv in turned in state too?
on that video ffv is disabled when turned in
nimble sequoia
No ffv on turn-in. Just like Rob's video. Just he didn't test the effect of rotation.
Turned in - no FFV - all ok
https://imgur.com/BcKpFd4
Turned-out, not rotated
https://imgur.com/VUgxiwF
Turned-out, rotated

Turned back in, seated animation screwed up

nimble sequoia
He definitely can't shoot when turned-in.
hot pine
can you show your config then?
hot pine
pastebin?
nimble sequoia
hastebin is like pastebin, I think better
"CargoTurret" is being inherited from AllVehicles
hot pine
you should use personTurretAction for turned out action
nimble sequoia
Ok, is that a new variable?
hot pine
?
nimble sequoia
Was it introduced in Tanks DLC?
nimble sequoia
Yes, doing that now. 15 occurences
I see a number of occurences in the config dump of:
isPersonTurret = 0;
personTurretAction = "vehicle_turnout_1";
How do they work together?
nimble sequoia
I think using 'personTurretAction' is going to fix my issue, after a very quick test. Thanks 😃
It's a shame that the turret config reference can't be updated with this stuff, makes it very hard for modders if key things are missing. I know it's all about time and priorities though.
hot pine
well, it can be updated
stoic lily
@nimble sequoia you can get an account via Dwarden 🙏
nimble sequoia
Do you mean for updating the config reference? I had, I guess wrongly, assumed it was created and maintained by BIS for the community, as opposed to created by the community.
It would be a bit like the blind leading the blind 😉
stoic lily
BIKI was created essentially by OFPEC people and their wiki initially
BI contributed only very little to it (aside from some promotion stuff of their projects)
with A3 it became a bit better though
still the core remains community efforts
nimble sequoia
Many thanks to those that have updated it then, I use it daily. But the problem then is that much of the info will have been generated by experimentation, rather than through direct knowledge from the game devs, and that can lead to errors.
stoic lily
make sure to bookmark this page from Olds
reyhard and oukej did good work on several config related pages too
most important is to use google/third party search for media wiki like
SearchTerm site:community.bistudio.com
undone quiver
Here is a question, how does the BI staff know about a lot of these? Like is it just experience or do they have their own in-house wiki for documentation?
Like I get a lot was designed by the programmers themselves, but seems like a lot of legacy stuff gets lost in translation between some A2 stuff.

Hello guys, I was look for some help with my weapon and optic configs since I have several problems:
- For some reason my Full Auto config isn't working and when I click in game to switch firing modes my character places the weapon on it's back, even though the single fire mode works just fine.
2.I believe my optic is coded correctly as it's taken from the ArmA 3 samples but when I right click to aim in game nothing happens, even though my optic is mounted on the weapon.
My firing mode part of the config:
https://pastebin.com/gKuUw5qd
My optic part of the config:
https://pastebin.com/J5qM4rrG
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
untold temple
does your optic have a view pilot LOD?
grave steppe
Yes sir
I have found it difficult to find documentation on this but does an optic require a model.cfg?
untold temple
no, since they don't animate

Another question, what exactly happens mechanically when a parachute is deployed?
Like is it just a vehicle attached to the unit, with the unit playing the animation? Or Does it shove the unit into a vehicle that is the parachute rig?

Or Does it shove the unit into a vehicle that is the parachute rig? That.
grave steppe
that's what I thought. Really strange why it doesn't work

Hey, im doing some Retexture work for a uniform, im kinda new so not sure how to call on the right 3D model to get the texture to load, anyone willing to lend me a hand? much appicated
what im doing is Retxturing an existing RHS model with a remake of the OCP to a more woodland texture, already got permission from the RHS team
grave steppe
@hot pine It appears it must be something to do with the model since the ARCO Model works with the config. Any idea what could be missing? I have a plane there with the dot on that uses the same texture as the ARCO one and the same rvmat

to get better.. uh.. display
Your cfgPatches requiredAddons is missing the entry for RHS. you need to have rhs loaded first. You do that by putting it's appropriate name into your requiredAddons
_generalMacro you can remove.
class ocp_new : Uniform_Base instead inherit from the RHS uniform that you are changing. That way you already have all it's values correct
hexed nova
for the requiredAddon that would be to add @RHSUSAF?
grand zinc
no
you need to find which pbo that uniforms config is added in
and then use the CfgPatches classname of that pbo
hexed nova
rhsusf_infantry.pbo
grand zinc
it's probably rhsusf_infantry then. But you can unpack it and look at the top of it's config.cpp to make sure it is correct
hexed nova
config only contains:
class CfgPatches
{
class rhsusf_infantry
{
units[]={};
weapons[]={};
requiredVersion=1.3200001;
requiredAddons[]=
{
"rhsusf_c_troops"
};
version=1;
};
};
grand zinc
class rhsusf_infantry there it is. rhsusf_infantry that's it
It usually matches the pbo names.. But some addon makers are more creative and think it's funny to not have it match 😄
hexed nova
so like this: requiredAddons[] = {"rhsusf_infantry"};
grand zinc
👍
hexed nova
but for some reason it still don't load my texture
but atleast its the right 3D model
grave steppe
@hot pine Alpha should be ok since when I remove the rvmat from the plane it shows up but when I put the collimater rvmat on the plane it disappears
hexed nova
don't think it supports it
grand zinc
easiest way to check if the original uniforms config has hiddenSelectionTextures entry in it's config
if not then... retexture something else 😄
hexed nova
is it still possable to make a workaround to use that 3D model?
grand zinc
if it really doesn't support hiddenSelection.. Then.. legally no.
unless you get a RHS dev to give you the source files.. which is unlikely
hot pine
@hexed nova have you tried Dedmen hint about setObjectTexture or checking config?
hexed nova
im trying, but not sure im using it in a right way
this setObjectTexture [0,"\uniform\rhs_uniform_cu_ocp_retex.paa"];
grand zinc
also try 1 instead of 0.
Also..... ehh... brain... come on... ehhh... Crap.. What... eh.. Thing.
Path file prefix thing.
hexed nova
nothing changes
grand zinc
checked your RPT?
I mean.. Eh. Is the path to your texture correct. are you sure that it is?
hexed nova
should be, its in my addon file. @mymod\addons\uniform(pbo)\rhs_uniform_cu_ocp_retex.paa
grand zinc
yeah should be fine. But always check your RPT for errors
hexed nova
RPT?
grand zinc
OwO
grand zinc
I just looked up a 2 year old config of the rhsusf_infantry_army_base And it contains
hiddenSelections[] = {"camo1","camo2","camo3","insignia"};
so obviously your hiddenSelections[] = {"Camo"}; won't work if the selection is called camo1
hiddenSelections[] = {"camo1","camo2","camo3","insignia"};
hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"rhsusf\addons\rhsusf_infantry\data\rhsusf_combat01_ocp_co.paa","rhsusf\addons\rhsusf_infantry\data\rhsusf_combat01_ocp_pockets_co.paa"};
I told you to check it's config :U Ingame debug console has a config viewer button.
RPT is in %localappdata%\Arma 3
throws 🍪 at @hexed nova
hexed nova
sigh... made no progress all day XD
this setVariable ["BIS_enableRandomization", false];
this setObjectTexture [camo1,"\uniform\rhs_uniform_cu_ocp_retex.paa"];
grand zinc
selectionNumber is a number not a... ehh...
no.
try the config way with camo1 instead of Camo
For a quick test you could also just do CfgPatches plus
class CfgVehicles {
class SoldierWB;
class rhsusf_infantry_army_base : SoldierWB {
hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"uniform\rhs_uniform_cu_ocp_retex.paa","uniform\rhs_uniform_cu_ocp_retex.paa"};
};
};
And see if that modifies the original
untold temple
@hexed nova you have read our EULA that says do not retexture the ACU uniform, right?
if you publish a mod with that, we have to seek to remove it, per the wishes of the author of the uniform model
grand zinc
hexed nova
ACU uniform that that include all there uniforms or just that one uniform?
untold temple
just the ACU, and the ABU
the Massif uniforms, G3s, FROGs etc. can be textured
I was just going off the fact your config says "combat uniform" repeatedly
so assumed ACU
hexed nova
Understood
grand zinc
rhsusf_infantry_army_base is rhs_uniform_cu_ocp which displayName = "Combat Uniform OCP";
Doesn't say ACU. But it's picture is picture = "\rhsusf\addons\rhsusf_infantry\ui\uniform_acu_ca.paa"; which does say acu so ... what now 😄
Mind you I'm looking at 2 year old config at https://configs.arma3.ru/155.133137-rhs/configfile/CfgWeapons/rhs_uniform_cu_ocp.html
untold temple
rhsusf_infantry_army_base is the massif one I think
@grave steppe your optic needs modelOptics = "\A3\Weapons_F\empty"; instead of modelOptics = "";
grave steppe
I already changed that and still I have trouble seeing the red dot
untold temple
did you do as suggested here in reordering the alpha planes? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Scope_3D#Alpha_planes

Yes sir, I see the dot in buldozer when I remove the collimater rvmat

You can't usually see the reticle in buldozer when the collimated shader is on even if it is working right
kind of need to test it ingame
but if it's not working there too, I'm not sure
grave steppe
Alright have just reordered the alphas. Will check again and get back to you

So trying to config a flamethrow, but i dont want to do the traditional projectiles have lots of particles on them....i dislike how that ends up looking. Wanted to have all the cool visuals be spraying out from the gun barrel (like how a flamethrower really looks)....and was planning to use the muzzleflash and smoke stuff to do it. Ran into an issue though when adding a universal billboard type of that fireball that transitions into smoke, and it refuses to take on the input velocity....the billboard just sits at the barrel end point and does nothing, except gravitation physics
strange egret
smoke as in muzzle effect smoke? i mean... what do you expect? If you want flames or smoke be "thrown" you need the projectile have the effect, not the gun
vernal sequoia
well the muzzle fx shoot out from the barrel of the gun, so not sure why this would be any different
Trying to make a hand held double barrel cannon and couldnt find anythin in the allinone that would suggest how to get a gun to have 2 different bullet locations........cept this class GunParticles
{
class FirstEffect
{
effectName = "RifleAssaultCloud";
positionName = "Usti hlavne";
directionName = "Konec hlavne";
};
};
but i thought that was just for particle FX not the actual projectile
muzzlePos = "usti hlavne";
muzzleEnd = "konec hlavne";
do i use that and then change it to this.....? muzzlePos = "usti hlavne, usti hlavne2";
muzzleEnd = "konec hlavne, konec hlavne2";
strange egret
you cant make double barrel weapons with handweapons - at least not that i know. Only way is as different muzzles, which means each barrel has its own firing mode (like rifle + grenade launcher combo)
muzzle effect doesnt "shoot" out the barrel. It spawns "at" the barrel
hearty sandal
anything can be hacked in though
you can make a fired eventhanlder catcher that moves the bullets in right position
might need a bit of magic to catch the right barrel positions but I recon it might be possible
vernal sequoia
hmm... so saying it would just be easier to fire 2 bullets and then have effects at each of the barrels

@hearty sandal catching and moving bullets is bad because even in Singleplayer this is inprecise, as in, the bullet flies a bit before the script kicks in. In MP this will get even worse. So you can end up with glitches and double bullets

Hello all, having a bit of problem with some custom impact effects.
For some reason they apply to everything but characters (men) and Virtual Arsenal Ground.
I do have hitman and hitvirtual defined under the hiteffects class in cfgAmmo. The only way i could get my custom particles to show up is by recreating the classes for "ImpactEffectsBlood" and "ImpactGroundSoft" and replacing the classes within with my own particles. However this has the side effect of being applied to any weapon that uses bulletbase which is undesired.
Anyone got any ideas?

hmm that could be, however makes me wounder why replaceing the vanilla "impacteffectsblood" works then O.o Because Bulletbase uses that effect for hitman, so replaceing it under the ammo in question should work as well with that logic?
hearty sandal
bullet that goes through makes a wound
that sprouts blood
perhaps your effect works but its too fast or something
easy to try if you make the ammo you test with explosive though
burnt merlin
I'll try that out, thanks!
hearty sandal
unless you want it to deflect and go through
burnt merlin
we were adding deflecting=0 to our weapons, it is suppose to be a laser type of weapon.

deflecting 0 still can deflect
and go through
I put mine explosive = 1 to negate that
though everyone has their own interpetation of a laser weapon

ahhh

My approach usually is a bit different than others do so do as fits your purpose

anything to do or not to do config parameter wise to have TFAR working?
even with latest beta we have the report that all back seats (cargo) and a few specific turrets dont work - with turned out
livid heath
@grand zinc
grand zinc
Cargo sets need special TFAR 1.0 config entries.
0.9.shit only has driver, copilot, gunner, commander
BWA3's Eagle has cargo seat support. You can check their config for an example
hot pine
is there list of those special entries available somewhere?
grand zinc
and the 0.9.shit seats need a config entry for that the vehicle has a radio.
https://github.com/michail-nikolaev/task-force-arma-3-radio/blob/1.0/addons/core/script_macros.hpp#L57
@hot pine there is this: https://github.com/michail-nikolaev/task-force-arma-3-radio/wiki/API%3A-For-developers
only thing missing there is the cargo seats config
https://git.koffeinflummi.de/bwmod-team/bwa3-public/blob/master/bwa3_eagle/Radio.hpp#L4

https://github.com/michail-nikolaev/task-force-arma-3-radio/blob/1.0/addons/core/functions/fnc_getVehicleRadios.sqf#L27
Yeah. TFAR_AdditionalLR_Turret which is array of... eh.... 🤔 that looks bugged... I'm quite sure that shouldn't be _forEachIndex...
and TFAR_AdditionalLR_Cargo which is array of numbers for each cargo seat.
https://github.com/michail-nikolaev/task-force-arma-3-radio/blob/1.0/addons/core/functions/fnc_vehicleLr.sqf#L43
Yeah. turrets is bugged currently. Actually that shouldn't matter.
TFAR_AdditionalLR_Turret is array of arrays with turret path for each.
Such that
_vehicle turretUnit (TFAR_AdditionalLR_Turret select 0) might return the player.

Quick question to the RHS devs out there. How would one go about implementing the feature that when you change magazine to say a PMAG one, the magazine model in the game will change. I see that the RHS Devs and some others have succeeded in doing this but have found it hard to find much documentation on this. If someone could explain how it would be possible?

vernal sequoia
this seems like a classic problem...so i copy pasted the muzzelflash and proxy into blender...then exported and saved in builder....flash rotates each shot and all, but always stays on. Think this is a config issue, how to fix?
untold temple
we've had it on some RHS weapons. We had to open the model in Object Builder, delete the proxy, do "Delete Empty" on the selections, and recreate the proxy
in our case, it was because the .p3d was saved with the modo plugin. Evidently something in the proxy formatting broke
untold temple
it might be that the proxy loses some kind of special vertex property or ordering that the game expects
vernal sequoia
builder kinda sucks for positioning object
untold temple
Does it? It has a pin tool for centring vert placement, and snapping
vernal sequoia
so, my best option is grab test weapon flash and proxy...and then just move it
do i need the proxy on all LODs or just number 1?
untold temple
all LODs you want to show it in
vernal sequoia
blegh, fhweifhiwhdaw
untold temple
don't need it in shadow LODs
vernal sequoia
ok, thanks
untold temple
select the broken proxy, deselect all but the vert in the 90-degree corner, press C to put the pin there, Shift+C to activate the pin, then Create\Proxy with a path to the muzzle flash, and it will create it in the exact same spot as you broken one was in
obviously you want to delete the broken one and do the Delete Empty on selections before making the new proxy, but pin will stay in position
vernal sequoia
wish was a better way to do this via blender, cause any changes i make will require redoing this stupid proxy
untold temple
save a .p3d somewhere with just the proxy in all the LODs you want
then you can file\merge
vernal sequoia
yeh, workaround...i guess
hot pine
it could be automated with o2script I think
untold temple
But I've not seen people have this issue with the blender plugin before. AFAIK quite a few people use it for weapons
only other thing I can think that it might be, is if the proxy is part of some other vertex-group/selection that is defined in sections[] array
vernal sequoia
i cant get the copied proxy to snap to
i pinned a point on the model, and it just wont do it
untold temple
Is the pin active? Shift+C
should create the proxy at the pinned point
no need to snap
vernal sequoia
yeh i just made a new proxy and then linked the file location and all that
does muzzleFlash require some more than just being a rename of the proxy vertices?
vernal sequoia
aha, was missing something in config
selectionFireAnim = "muzzleFlash";
and now it flashes as expected
now to see if blender was really the issue
well i feel like a jackass....the problem was the config this whole time
blender export worked
untold temple
didn't think of that since mostly people use the 'zasleh' selection name. There used to be issues with trying to use custom names for it IIRC

Is it actually possible to make a true flak gun?
Like one with proxy explosions over direct?
fresh steeple
@undone quiver Just saw a script for that on forums - think they settled to exploding the shell at a set distance, convincing enough. Memory might be a bit hazy, but should be easy to find
I'm trying to disable/switch weapons on ground vehicles. Is there a good tutorial/writeup on how the weapons system works in ARMA? Also is A3 very picky what you put where or can you switch types willy-nilly - like say you have a machine gun and whoops you change it into a tank cannon?
undone quiver
I was thinking of going a bit silly and making like 10 magazines that airburst at certain ranges. But I'm not sure if you can actually make a airburst do damage
fresh steeple
Try to locate the thread
Hmm guess limitations with weapon mounts would be within these types https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_itemType
I'd like eg. replace MissileLauncher type with some kind of dummy weapon (no weapon available)
livid heath
wehave working flak in unsung, we hadit in arma 2 rangemaster and in pooks sam pack also. we use a fired EH to spawn a secondary explosion, which causes damage
however, it is resource intensive.
undone quiver
mmm
I guess I could simulate a ranged fuse mixing sub-munition with a fast frag grenade or something
hot pine
do you want to be able to set airburst range manually?
or do you want to have it automated? @undone quiver
undone quiver
Ideally automated, but it sounds like only a scripted solution. So my other idea is to make several ammo types that have their own distances, and allow the player/AI to switch between "ranges".
hot pine
you can try adding very huge geometry
like sphere with with 20m radius
it should trigger explosion when close enough
as a failsafe I would also use high enough triggerDistance

that's ingenious, though unpredictable iffired horizontally through trees i reckon 😉

reyhardYesterday at 12:39 I wanted to use it on missiles since vanilla proximity fuse works only as long as missile is locked I guessyou could animate the geometry to expand to full size with thrust to avoid clipping houses and ground after launch

It is possible.

Hm, I'm getting

If I remove the macro it works fine
grand zinc
Let it preprocess and watch what it outputs.... I think mikeros tools have a option to dump post-preprocess configs?
austere prism
Alright, I'll see if I can find it. These tools are a bit of a pain to work with
Yeah, I don't see it in pboproject or makepbo. The configs are all valid when I do a dev build though, and work in game. So I don't see why a macro wouldn't be correct

austere prism
I tried rapify -NL but that shows it before macros
I know the macros are being included. I did #define CBACKPACK false in that file and it gave me and error becuase CBPACKBACK was already defined

Yes
because you are not calling that macro
You defined macro X but expected it to call macro X(y) which doesn't exist.
#define CBACKPACK false

macro without arguments != macro with arguments
grand zinc
Why the ##?
austere prism
Is that not how you concatenate?
austere prism
So, would there just be nothing to mark concatenation?
grand zinc
The macro will replace the name of the macro argument with what you supplied as parameter
So you'll end up with
B_##Kitbag##_##CAMO
While you really just want B_Kitbag_CAMO
austere prism
So it's actually just B_CLASS_CAMO?
I also have something like #define CAMO UCP

Like that maybe?
austere prism
I'll try that, but #define CHEAD(CLASS) H_CLASS_CAMO didn't work either
grand zinc
Also I'd recommend to make macro arguments lowercase.. Less confusing
Have you tried the rapify thing to actually check what the output is?
austere prism
I'm using rapify right now to test it
The Arma engine takes it, everything works there. It is just packaging it with rapify that is causing issues
grand zinc
Rapify output isn't that helpful at all. Maybe armake can output preprocessed file..
austere prism
I'll give it a shot, the CONCAT macro didn't work either
grand zinc
Mikeros rapify throws error and fails on my test config. Armake just runs through cleanly without any problems
austere prism
Yeah, armake doesn't complain at all. All the warnings are from CBA
grand zinc
Yeah. Mostly about useless ##'s
I think they are needed when combining things that aren't seperated by a non-word character
austere prism
Yeah, this made it clear for me By default you can only replace whole words by arguments. If you need to replace only part of a word, you can use the ## instruction.
grand zinc
Yeah like my example #define CONCAT(X,Y) XY doesn't work and needs to be X##Y
But #define CONCAT(X,Y) X/Y is seperate words
don't know which characters are considered not part of a word
austere prism
Probably [0-9A-z] but who knows for sure
grand zinc
I'll add a Armake cmd line argument to output a preprocessed file. That'll help.. Can't believe that isn't a thing yet
austere prism
Would you happen to know of a decent example of armake being used in place of tools/make.py?
I tried switching my projects to armake a while back but had some issues with it on Linux and put it off

TFAR beta already switched over. now using make.ps1 (powershell) instead of make.py
And CBA and ACE have pull requests that are 99% done to switch over to armake
https://github.com/michail-nikolaev/task-force-arma-3-radio/blob/1.0/tools/make.ps1#L109 Everything besides that single line is essentially just to auto-download armake and keep it up-to-date

👍 Don't Follow TFAR much any more and didn't want to use the ace or cba ones while they were still PRs. I'll take a look at the TFAR one.
grand zinc
And Line 129 which execues that command for each module
TFAR one is just the ACE PR copied over.

grand zinc
pack stuff together and upload it? 😄
austere prism
I guess, do you just do that bisign files and stuff yourself?
grand zinc
Ah you mean automated stuff? I think Armake automatically creates the bisigns
Armake should spit out addons folder with packed pbo's and bisigns. I then just take that. Put it into @mod folder and done.. basically
My automated builds are still on mikeros tools
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/dedmen/task-force-arma-3-radio But that's basically the same. Run make.py/make.ps1, move files to correct location, pack into zip file.

Is there any way to make a flare launcher that uses custom memory points NOT defined in the vehicle config? I'm experimenting with the pylon weapons and I found out you can actually use pylons for flare launchers and they kinda work. The only issue is that flares come out from the center of the mass with no speed (ie. they are not shot out).
It seems that its tied to the simulation = "shotCM"; value for the ammo. However after reading up on the CMs I think that if I change the simulation It will break the CM's ability to spoof missiles.

Is it a config setting for this or would it need to be scripted?

isnt parachute a vehicle too? Does it work with fireFromVehicle Turret?

you could try hasDriver = -1 and then add FFV turret

probably FFV as rehyard suggested is the only way
fathom thorn
has noone done this before`? 😄

so I managed to disable the driverAction, set hasDriver = -1 and added a FFV turret. Still not able to fire, but at least he is in the correct pose
any ideas?

did you make an FFV animation set?
fathom thorn
Im just using this for now:
passenger_flatground_3
using a FFV turret class that I know is working from another vehicle
untold temple
I see
fathom thorn
also tried using moveInGunner
but shouldnt be necessary when using hasDriver = -1
maybe the solution is.. replacing the parachute with another vehicle class using the same model. and use addForce and/or add Velocity to recreate the slow decent
hot pine
two things
are you sure you are gunner in turret not driver?
what is your ffv config?
your animation doesnt look like passenger_flatground_3
fathom thorn
you're right.. I am the driver. seems he wont move into the gunner seat
trying to force him in
while{true} do {
_pilot = driver _v;
hintSilent str _pilot;
_pilot moveInGunner _v;
sleep 1;
};
use moveinturret
hot pine
it won't work if you are already driver
fathom thorn
hmm yeah.. It didnt
fathom thorn
it worked!
thanks @hot pine !
now I just need to add a proxy for the gunner ^^
only downside is..... now I cant steer the parachute 😂
😭
and nothing happens at all when it hits the ground. I think its not forcing me out before the chute is deleted or something
guess I can just force myself into the driver position again just before it hits the ground
and maybe I can use KillZoneKids one man tank script to make it steerable
hot pine
can you show us your config?
hasDriver should solve it
otherwise you can use addForce or add toggle action to switch between steering & firing mode
with automated switch to steering mode when ATL is less than 10 meters
fathom thorn
yeah I was thinking about adding userActions for switching. makes sense actually
and yeah using ATL to force back into driver pos, and then removing useractions
.

Quick question. I was wondering if there was an animation source for aiming down go sights. I am trying to make a sight for a grenade launcher and I want certain parts of the weapon to be hidden when aiming down the sight but not when just holding it in first person. Any ideas?

no such thing

why/what do you want hidden?
hot pine
it's working

I´m getting 0

what simulation type are you using it on?
wraith sedge
CarX
I´m going to do a second test
To see if i made a mistake
Well now it´s working
Changed the names
normal sleet
Not sure if this's the best place to ask... If I fire a vanilla smoke round, for example, from a mod GL will players without the mod GL still see the smoke once it impacts?

@hot pine "engineTemp" is in celsius?
wraith sedge
@hot pine so if i define afMax = 30; and engineTemp is 1 then it´s 30 celsius, right?

in arma2 we used to make vehicles like helicopters quiet inside (kind of like wearing ear muffs), but that method doesnt seem to work in arma3 anymore. the config entries are occludeSoundsWhenIn, obstructSoundsWhenIn, obstructSoundLFRatio, occludeSoundLFRatio and insideSoundCoef. are these obsolete? is there some new way to make sounds lower volume when inside a vehicle?

ok now I'm starting to find matches, looking into that, thanks.
candid wave
so is it the gain[] which controls the volume and can I modify it by creating cpp class CfgSoundEffects { class AttenuationsEffects { class tag_MyHeliAttenuation

@grand zinc tah, @hot pine and I will have a look in to it
what's the proposal for e.g Beta Cmags?
I see CBA_556x45_STANAG_L/XL/2D/2D_XL but how would you tend to categorise them?
like say a 50rnd drum which is large, but also wide
grand zinc
I'd say put them into 2D as they are drums but small drums
L/XL are stick magazines
idle matrix
anyone mind giving me a hand with some inheriting issues?

So im exploring around ACE medical PBOs, and I have kind of a general question. There seems to be a lot of config entries that are not utilized yet by medications: `onOverdose, maxDose, viscosityChange' as well as some scripting that doesn't seem to be called such as the scripts that reference airway. My question is: is ACE medical still being developed? or is it gonna stay where its at now with it's level of functionality?
sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this question, i am just curious to know and don't know of the best way to ask
restive veldt
oh? so is that why it doesn't seem to have been updated? cause they are waiting for the whole rewrite?
interesting...
grand zinc
yep
There is a ACE nightly build on the steam workshop. And there is also one with the medical-rewrite nightly build

another question: you know the rumor about how blood spoils? is that gonna be a thing now? cause i wanna mess with a guy we game with who gets triggered when people say it does
grand zinc
it's not yet in. And I don't think it will be. as tracking the lifetime of a bloodbag would be way too much work
restive veldt
lol i was gonna find a way to script it, but the only way i could think to do that is in a fashion similar to how TFAR instances radios: a base class, then 1000 different classes that inherit from it
restive veldt
but right now, all IVs perform the same, correct?
i don't see a difference in their viscosity changes, infact, the only drug that does do changes seems to be Morphine
grand zinc
yes. Afaik in rewrite the viscosity changes will be there
