If I have an array like items[] += {"Item1","Item2"}; is there a way to delete a specific item from it?

idle matrix Jul 1, 2020, 11:49 AM

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Array This seems to suggest you can with deleteAt

opal crater Jul 1, 2020, 11:53 AM

#

deleteAt is an SQF command and he's asking about config.

#

I don't think you can delete single element from array in a config.

hearty sandal Jul 1, 2020, 12:00 PM

does items[] -= {"item1"}; work?

so, i m trying to make a small addon. This addon is supposed to have a config file that must only be available serverside, any idea on how to do that?
I mean, in a mission, you can include a config via description.ext #include "blah.hpp", but how do you do it in an addon?

hearty sandal Jul 1, 2020, 12:29 PM

#

you put a config.cpp into the addon folder, write the stuff you want into it and pack it to pbo and plop it to the server

#

basically

#

if clients dont have it I dont think they would see it

#

although depends maybe whats it supposed to do if it works only server side

ashen grove Jul 1, 2020, 12:40 PM

#

cant i add a second config file?

#

i would prefer to have the config.cpp only for configuring the functions and stuff

wintry tartan Jul 1, 2020, 12:43 PM

#

You can put multiple config.cpp into one pbo, but each should have CfgPatches

strong shuttle Jul 1, 2020, 12:43 PM

#

of course you can have multiple config files, simply include all the files in your config.cpp

wintry tartan Jul 1, 2020, 12:43 PM

#

^ also will do

strong shuttle Jul 1, 2020, 12:43 PM

#

you can also make multiple addons in a single mod 😉

ashen grove Jul 1, 2020, 12:44 PM

#

so, #include "second.cpp" works in a config.cpp?

strong shuttle Jul 1, 2020, 12:44 PM

#

yes

ashen grove Jul 1, 2020, 12:44 PM

#

oh

#

so its that easy

#

thanks TohruThumbsUp

#

does it even make any difference what kind of file you use?

#

i mean, with #include, you can include .cpp .hpp even .sqf

#

so, couldnt i also use a .sqf for configs?

wintry tartan Jul 1, 2020, 12:48 PM

#

#include only transfers the file contents inside the file whatever its extension, is my understanding

ashen grove Jul 1, 2020, 12:49 PM

#

thats why i m asking

#

i mean, you can include .hpp in .sqf

wintry tartan Jul 1, 2020, 12:49 PM

#

Yes

ashen grove Jul 1, 2020, 12:50 PM

#

so, wouldnt it be possible to ONLY use sqf or cpp or hpp file to write all your code and stuff?

#

hmmm

#

and, is there a difference for when you should use a hpp or cpp file?

wintry tartan Jul 1, 2020, 12:51 PM

#

#include only transfers the file contents inside the file whatever its extension, is my understanding

strong shuttle Jul 1, 2020, 12:54 PM

#

config.cpp is required, since it's the file loaded by the engine (which requires some configs). The rest can be whatever you want since #include just includes those files and reads it as one big file.
Scripts must be .sqf, since that's how the engine reads them (although it should technically be possible to have any extension).

afaik do "we" use .cpp, .hpp, .ext and .inc for config files, without any fixed rules, to have a quick indication of what the file contains.

ashen grove Jul 1, 2020, 12:56 PM

#

i see

#

i already figured the config.cpp must be named like that, because there is no file pointing at this to be loaded

hearty sandal Jul 1, 2020, 12:57 PM

#

if you want easily debuggable stuff when you run into problems, dont go inventing some obscure method of putting you configs together though

ashen grove Jul 1, 2020, 12:57 PM

#

yea, ofcourse not

#

i just want to write a small addon, that runs serverside, and is well structured, so you can add more addons to it at any time, with as small ammount of work possible

strong shuttle Jul 1, 2020, 12:58 PM

#

my personal method is for readability:

- config.cpp
- Cfgvehicles.cpp (included in config)
- Cfgvehicles_Men.cpp (included in cfgvehicles)
- etc.

ashen grove Jul 1, 2020, 12:59 PM

#

makes sense

strong shuttle Jul 1, 2020, 1:00 PM

#

and for addons I usually have a 'Main.pbo' which contains all the configs/scripts shared throughout the mod, and then add addons with specific features specific things (but always require main)

ashen grove Jul 1, 2020, 1:00 PM

#

thats a good approach hmmm

strong shuttle Jul 1, 2020, 1:00 PM

#

idea "stolen" from CBA and ACE though 😉

#

please don't ban me now

ashen grove Jul 1, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

how do you structure main.pbo then?

#

because, thats basically the idea i already had, a base config

strong shuttle Jul 1, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

https://github.com/Grezvany13/ILBE-Assault-Pack-Rewrite/tree/master/y/tfw_radios/addons
'main' contains basically nothing, except for mod stuff, 'ilbe' and 'rf3080' contain the actual content

#

do note that I use CBA as a dependency and use it throughout, so might be a bit overwhelming 😉

#

btw... I am working on a Modding 101 Guide which goes though all of this, although it's not even in WIP status 😉

ashen grove Jul 1, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

i see

#

thanks tho

#

much appreciated

#

when i looked through your code, i noticed, that my brain was on airplanemode .__.

#

its not that i did a mistake or anything, or that your help wasnt enough, but i just now figured out that i can put a config.cpp into every .pbo in the end

#

and dont actually need any main.pbo

#

still, thanks for the help

#

catPOLITE

strong shuttle Jul 1, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

it's always a good idea to look at other projects on how they do stuff, although most projects I know use CBA as a dependency which makes stuff more complex (yet easier to program)

ashen grove Jul 1, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

yea

#

i want to keep it as vanilla as possible, so its easier to include into a server later on

#

so, all you gotta do to expand my addon, is to simply drop the additional .pbo into the addons folder, and done

#

EXPANDED

#

bigbrain

#

well, at least, serverside

strong shuttle Jul 1, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

That is usually not a good idea, and it's better to make additional mods with expansions.

ashen grove Jul 1, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

why?

strong shuttle Jul 1, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

updates; if you update the main mod it can mess up the additional pbo's (like removing them), or if something isn't 100% compatible it will break everything

ashen grove Jul 1, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

true, but in my case, i want to develop some smaller things for altis life

#

like, for example, a whitelist menu

#

so you simply drop the configuration pbo into the addon

#

the addons inside the addons folder wont interact with each other anyways

#

they just get loaded under the same mod

hearty sandal Jul 1, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

simple/compatible and altis life doesnt really match?

ashen grove Jul 1, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

wdym?

hearty sandal Jul 1, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

well at least the stuff I've seen has been quite all over the place

ashen grove Jul 1, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

i just want to do this, to add some backend functions and configs, like for example, a list of ids that are allowed to use these functions

#

such things shouldnt really be configured in the mission config in my opinion

#

especially not the functions, as they are supposed to interact with extdb3

is it possible to override default keybinds through a config?

like rebind an action

let's say, switching fire-mode to be some other action or to execute a script instead?

hello guys
I know the scripting command for it...
But now I want to make it a feature of an object:

I want someone who has object X in his inventory to 'ReportRemoteTargets'

as with the scripting command setVehicleReportRemoteTargets.

Anyone has an idea how to do that?

latent lion Jul 2, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

@maiden lodge -> #arma3_scripting

on that note. Iterate throught the list of units and their list of Items and look for X

maiden lodge Jul 2, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

yeah ok. I get that so far.
But I would like to understand how to put this into a config

latent lion Jul 2, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

in which part of it?

maiden lodge Jul 2, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

That is my question really 😬

#

in the init eventhandlers...?

latent lion Jul 2, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

when do you want it to run?

maiden lodge Jul 2, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

its most important, when someone has the item in its inventory

latent lion Jul 2, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

so all units

maiden lodge Jul 2, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

well yeah anyone who has it

latent lion Jul 2, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

class CfgVehicles
{    
    class Man;
    class CAManBase: Man
    {
        class EventHandlers
        {
            class TOM_inventoryBackpack
            {
                init = "_this spawn TOM_fnc_addBackpackAction";
            };
        };
    };
};```

#

that's what i used

#

the "init" field is executed for ALL units on their initialization

#

do keep in mind that this includes main menu and 3den etc.

narrow swallow Jul 2, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

It's not feasible to use a config this way. You need to track if someone adds/removes this item to/from their inventory.

latent lion Jul 2, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

this2

#

config is the worst place to use for this, but it's possible

maiden lodge Jul 2, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

ok either way...
What is the best way to create this feature for my item?

latent lion Jul 2, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

multiplayer or singleplayer?

opal crater Jul 2, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

player only or ai too?

latent lion Jul 2, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

selected units or all units?

#

and also, #arma3_scripting

maiden lodge Jul 2, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

Multiplayer.
Not too interested in AI.

#

giving AI the capability is bonus but deffo not required

#

and also, #arma3_scripting
@latent lion

Since I wanted to build a mod I persumed this channel was better

latent lion Jul 2, 2020, 2:18 PM

you can write functions into a mod

#

yup

latent lion Jul 2, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

is there a way to blanket-override the "userActions" of a cfgVehicle?

#

or is it a manual process of going through every single building in the config and removing them?

#

basically, i want to remove the user-actions from buildings

strong shuttle Jul 2, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

delete UserActions; ?

latent lion Jul 2, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

does that work?

strong shuttle Jul 2, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

I just know that you can delete classes from configs with delete, so if it's a class you can remove it 🤷‍♂️

opal crater Jul 2, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

But Door actions will be on object class not in generic useractions class.

latent lion Jul 2, 2020, 2:59 PM

#

they in the object's useractions, yes

#

so im honestly just considering to nuke the whole action-menu and its elements

#

if anyone is aware of how to accomplish this, let me know

I believe Pylons are the only thing I haven't seen on the wiki (as in explain in detail), but the rest can be found.
And no, those are not tutorials but just config examples

safe blade Jul 2, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

all right, if I'm getting all of this right the way shoud be : create ammo (p3d)- create magazine with that ammo - create pylon with magazine (pylon + proxy of ammo) - create a weapon.

#

and on my plane put proxy of pylon = pylon model + proxy ammo)

Hey cfg experts..

Is it possible like in the OFP days to make buildings East / West (so now Opfor / Blufor) sided that tanks and such units with heavy weapons will attack buildings or do I have to script a invisible target to the building(s)?

not sure if it is just the rpt complaining or not, cannot run any mission under this map and the rpt i posted above is the last thing i see before i get kicked to slotting lobby again

hearty sandal Jul 2, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

perhaps you got to pick another map

strong shuttle Jul 2, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

You are aware that even if you fix it, you're not allowed to upload the fixed terrain?

restive remnant Jul 2, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

i can not upload it and run my server tho

hearty sandal Jul 2, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

maybe you report the issue and see if @restive nova wants to fix it

robust path Jul 2, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

Well you could contact the author through Steam and see what happens

#

Ninjaed 😭

restive remnant Jul 2, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

yeah ok, then case closed with "config broken"?

hearty sandal Jul 2, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

or something else you run breaks it

restive remnant Jul 2, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

although, the config is corrupt, yeah?

hearty sandal Jul 2, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

or you uploaded it wrong

robust path Jul 2, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

And it is a pre-Apex map that was last updated two years ago...

hearty sandal Jul 2, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

or it has never been updated to latest requirements

#

or you got some poopy old version of it

restive remnant Jul 2, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

i ran armake2 unpack Tembelan.pbo and unpacked it through pbo manager and md5sum says both are the same

#

so pretty sure the extracting is right

hearty sandal Jul 2, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

you dont need to extract pobs

robust path Jul 2, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

Should also be noted that a version of Antistasi supports it so I doubt that the map is broken enough to not work 🙂

restive remnant Jul 2, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

also the pbo is straight off steam workshop, dl'd it with steamcmd

hearty sandal Jul 2, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

are you running other mods?

restive remnant Jul 2, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

it works if hosted from a client, but not when hosted in dedi

#

yes, ace and rhs

#

none of those caused any problems with any other map

hearty sandal Jul 2, 2020, 7:31 PM

#

first things first, run it without anything else on a empty mission

restive remnant Jul 2, 2020, 7:31 PM

#

alright

hearty sandal Jul 2, 2020, 7:31 PM

and then report to the maker if there are issues

Just contact creator in case there are issues, if he/she doesn't support it anymore you can ask for permission to release a fixed version.

restive remnant Jul 2, 2020, 7:34 PM

That is not true...

hearty sandal Jul 2, 2020, 7:34 PM

you dont fix it by decompiling it anyway

you as a user have pretty much no reason to decompile pbos

restive remnant Jul 2, 2020, 7:35 PM

you can ask for permission to release a fixed version
how do you "fix" it then

hearty sandal Jul 2, 2020, 7:36 PM

you should ask the permission first before doing anything

restive remnant Jul 2, 2020, 7:36 PM

#

i have a reason, which is i suspect the problem lies in the config.cpp

hearty sandal Jul 2, 2020, 7:36 PM

if so you would create a config.cpp addon that overwites the one in the pbo when its loaded after the original

BTW... This 2020/07/02, 19:41:41 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWorlds.Tembelan'. Sort of suggests a mistake on your part

so the problem is the mission? @robust path

grepping a / returns no results in mission.sqm or any other file in the mission pbo

robust path Jul 2, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

Somewhere... cause this class Tembelan: Altis is in CfgWorlds in the config.bin

#

I mean if it wasn't no one could ever use the map... that error you report says that the map cannot be found...?

#

Is the Tembelan map in your mod list (I know... silly question... but...)

restive remnant Jul 2, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

right, you say serverside does not have the map

#

ill check the md5sum on server and client and compare

how can i redefine a base-class to be empty?

i tried deleting the base class, but ofcourse some script is trying to look for it and creates errors if i just delete it

class aBaseClass;

thats not re-define though

Uh

yeah what you wrote then

latent lion Jul 2, 2020, 8:30 PM

i jsut need it to be empty

grand zinc Jul 2, 2020, 8:30 PM

but if that baseclass inherits from something you also need to properly define that inheritance

Importing a base weapon model into the game as a static object leaves the muzzle-flash constantly on, Is there a fix for this?

hearty sandal Jul 4, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

likely not

#

the muzzle flash hiding, showing is run by an engine mechanic

latent lion Jul 4, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

is it a selection?

#

because if it is, can't i apply a transparent texture on it?

winter rain Jul 4, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

Its a selection. Variant 1 its called muzzleFlash, variant 2 its called zasleh

latent lion Jul 4, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

i see

hearty sandal Jul 4, 2020, 9:46 PM

#

it is not a selection that can be retextured

its a proxy

winter rain Jul 4, 2020, 9:48 PM

Ah yes, the proxy is just called in selections 😅

@latent lion, you trying to put a weapon on like a rack as a static piece?

latent lion Jul 4, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

im trying to get a smaller hitbox than the default dummyweaponholders

paper path Jul 4, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

not sure what you mean

latent lion Jul 4, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

you know when you put down a weapon or an item in the editor?

paper path Jul 4, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

yeah

latent lion Jul 4, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

it actually gets added to a container that just displays the item

#

that container is commonly a dummyweapon/item holder

#

the size of that holder is too big for my purposes

paper path Jul 4, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

ah

#

could always just make a GH version of your weapon.

#

think it moves the box to the size of the weapon

latent lion Jul 4, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

Groundweaponholder is too big aswell

paper path Jul 4, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

latent lion Jul 4, 2020, 10:32 PM

it does?

#

hol up

because im rpetty sure i tried this and it didnt, but i'll have to recheck

paper path Jul 4, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

i just have all my weapons with there own placeable versions from the editor/zeus list

latent lion Jul 4, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

yeah, but those just get placed into a dummyweaponholder

#

yeah, nope

hearty sandal Jul 4, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

what are your purposes?

latent lion Jul 4, 2020, 10:45 PM

im trying to detect the hitbox of a displayed weapon through lineintersect

for an interactive shop-display

#

hold on, i'll get a video

hearty sandal Jul 4, 2020, 10:46 PM

ah that you probably cant do yeah

latent lion Jul 4, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

yeah, i sort of can

hearty sandal Jul 4, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

perhaps you could use invisible target objects

latent lion Jul 4, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

it's just the weaponholders are janky

#

yeah, i could

hearty sandal Jul 4, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

and ignore the groundholder

latent lion Jul 4, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

i just really dont want to go there, but if i have to 🤷‍♂️

hearty sandal Jul 4, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

since its pretty static situation

latent lion Jul 4, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

like it works fine with weapons, but items have MASSIVE hitboxes for some reason

paper path Jul 4, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

could do a static version of the weapon like a box and script it

latent lion Jul 4, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

erm...

#

cant

#

the models are binarized and if i cant remove the muzzle-proxy, then i cant have the weapons

#

since the muzzle-flash will be stuck in the weapon model

#

trust me, been there, done that

#

both through simpleObject and config

#

good call though

untold temple Jul 4, 2020, 10:50 PM

#

Have you tried simpleobject for a .p3d with a proxy to your chosen weapons, rather than the p3d of the weapons themselves?

latent lion Jul 4, 2020, 10:52 PM

#

can you give an example?

#

because i haven't

#

here's a video of the current system. VERY EARLY PROTOTYPE.
https://streamable.com/xtr4ba

#

pretty much just a concept still

paper path Jul 4, 2020, 10:55 PM

#

video makes it seem like it works as intended

latent lion Jul 4, 2020, 10:55 PM

#

sure does when i force it to

#

but it's VERY fickle about the placements of the camera etc.

#

the problem is with the collision boxes for the items

#

theyre MASSIVE

untold temple Jul 4, 2020, 10:56 PM

#

Well it requires making a p3d so you'd need object builder, Create>Proxy path it to the weapon model, save it and put it in your mission or some addon if you are making a mod, then use createSimpleObject pathed to the p3d you made

latent lion Jul 4, 2020, 10:56 PM

#

like you could fit 4 men inside the colision box of a bipod holder

#

have you got some guides, Monkey?

#

and will this fix the muzzle-flash?

#

the problem is currently that i have no experience in OB apart from porting over models from arma 2 LDP

hearty sandal Jul 4, 2020, 10:57 PM

#

it actually will

#

as proxies dont have proxies

latent lion Jul 4, 2020, 10:58 PM

#

decent

#

i guess there isnt any way to scale the object to the proxy boundingbox?

#

also, what is the mapSize parameter in CfgVehicles

strong shuttle Jul 4, 2020, 11:05 PM

#

it's the size the object will show up on the map (especially on the 2D map in 3den).

latent lion Jul 4, 2020, 11:05 PM

#

👌

strong shuttle Jul 4, 2020, 11:06 PM

#

see https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/CfgVehicles_Config_Reference#mapSize 😉

latent lion Jul 4, 2020, 11:06 PM

#

ok, so if i want the proxy to be a specific model, i browse to that mode. What if i want the proxy to work like the dummyitem?

#

so that it displays the item in it's storage

hearty sandal Jul 4, 2020, 11:13 PM

#

that would require you to create a new sized groundholder object

#

which works differently

#

not sure if there are any examples of those anywhere tho

Side int 2 is indep correct?

ruby moth Jul 7, 2020, 11:03 AM

Right

class cfgGroups {

    class Indep {

        #include "cfgGroups\Modern_China.hpp"
        #include "cfgGroups\Legion.hpp"
    };

Extract there, got this which clearly places them into indep, but they go into opfor, the side given inside the faction is 2 but I don't get where the assignment for cfgGroups into opfor is from.

#

I should note its only the last two

I've literally done factions like 20 times all fine

its just these two

OK. deleted an earlier question as it was waaaaay too broad. Trying to focus down a little.
I'm a scripting newb, trying to muddle through a few projects to teach myself. One project of interest is a bangalore torpedo.

For those that don't know, it's basically a pipe bomb that you can affix extras, end-to-end to make a longer and longer explosive. Often used to blow obstructions. For purposes of my project, I'm going to limit it to 4 units.

Using ACE, and having referenced ACE Explosives on github to get a basic framework:

I've defined the basic torpedo in cfgAmmo.
I've defined iterations of a single torpedo through 4 joined torpedoes in cfgMagazines, each with a 'count' of 1-4 of the base item from cfgAmmo, and 'mass' reflecting the increased count.
cfgWeapons has been used to address placement issues, but doesn't seem to need an iterated class cfg in the same way???
In cfgVehicles I've also defined versions 1-4, along with a test ('condition' in the inheritence from Ace_Explsoives_Place) to check if the player has the required number of tubes ... though I'm still working on that code. ;)

So hopefully, the engineers can carry 1 or more Bangalore Torpedoes in their pack. ACE will give them the correct options for placement based on the number carried, and they can trigger by timer or clacker.

Does this seem like the correct basic structure, or have I mixed up how the cfgs interact? Want to make sure I'm on the right track before I dig into wikis, bikis, and more.

(Also, my big challenge will be getting the Ammo / explosion spread out over the physical length of the multiple-tube magazines ... I suspect I'll try a solution with attaching mines to individual memory points in the model, but any advice is appreciated.)

Are there vehicle seat actions that show the backpack the occupant is wearing?

not possible AFAIK, yet @hot pine should be able to confirm

hot pine Jul 8, 2020, 5:58 PM

there is no such parameter

What's causing my 7.62x39mm chambered CUP G3s to not show up in Arma despite having the mod loaded? Sorry, I'm so confused with why I can't find the G3s at all in CfgWeapons nor the arsenal itself since it looks like I've done everything correctly according to online documentation.

#

https://pastebin.com/AvWc1Sm2

#

I even both kind of copied and interpreted a mod which also adds rechamberings of different weapons (that mod actually works) so I wonder what I did wrong.

#

@full wagon missing baseWeapon parameter

full wagon Jul 9, 2020, 8:43 AM

#

OH I see lol, thanks for pointing that out haha

#

I never knew that was needed.

#

So, is baseWeapon the classname for my gun or the gun that its based off @hot pine? I'm doing some research but I'm still unsure.

#

Oh never mind, I found that its for my weapon.

hot pine Jul 9, 2020, 8:50 AM

#

baseWeapon is basically is arsenal param to filter out sub variants

#

if your weapon doesn't have that param correctly set, then your weapon is considered as a variant and it's no longer shown

full wagon Jul 9, 2020, 8:51 AM

#

Fair enough, I learnt that's how it worked just then but thanks for clarifying it still.

#

But yeah.. I'm surprised that's not in the CfgWeapons Guidelines documentation on the Bohemia wiki, considering how necessary it can be lol

#

Although I somehow missed that parameter when referring to a mod with gun variants, but still haha

hot pine Jul 9, 2020, 9:21 AM

#

it's there now 😉

full wagon Jul 9, 2020, 9:29 AM

#

Nice, good job.

#

Actually.. Anything else which can prevent a weapon from being visible or useable? I still don't see it despite using baseWeapon.

#

I just checked my PBO's config and it was packed correctly so I feel something else is wrong.

hot pine Jul 9, 2020, 9:37 AM

#

you are trying to inherit from CUP weapon yet you don't have them in required addons array

#

I also assume that you have ton of pop up errors - do not ignore them but try to read them one by one

#

you can also look at .rpt for more informations what is wrong

#

"A3Data" I'm pretty sure this one if giving you error on startup

OH I see and I don't think I have any from my mod, but I'll take a look though.

I somehow didn't think that it was required because the other mod didn't include it, I think its because its config depends on another part of its mod so yeah.

Does anyone know to hide the range of a turret weapon from the top right display - i.e. the numbers you usually see when paging up and down - i.e. 200m, 300m, 400m etc...? I have set one range for the turret to coincide with the optic using discrete distance and index, but I don't want that ranging m to be displayed. Thanks.

full wagon Jul 9, 2020, 11:21 AM

#

Ah okay, thanks @hot pine. I think its fine but I'll have a look.

#

However @zinc oak, I know that you can at least disable that in the difficulty options but I don't know how to prevent it on all the options for that.

#

Also Reyhard, what was the Oldman loading order thing? I forgot it.

hearty sandal Jul 9, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

So that you mod loads after all vanilla stuff

full wagon Jul 9, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

I know what it is, I just forgot what it was called but I just found it oddly enough.

#

But yeah, I'll see how it goes this time.

#

Actually, I'll look for the CUP loadorder thing first.

#

However, should I put the modded stuff after the vanilla loadorder thing or before it?

#

What else do I need to put in RequiredAddons? I'm confused, because all the classes I used are in the PBOs and loadorders I put into RequiredAddons.

#

https://pastebin.com/XRTuQ0sP

#

Or how does one find everything that needs to go into RequiredAddons? I mean, putting EVERYTHING into it which I used doesn't even work so wtf?

#

I copied the classnames of the PBOs just under CfgPatches for each of them so I don't get what I've done wrong.. Well I think its supposed to work like that, but I give up today, I'm confused and also not feeling great in real life but feel free to help since I'll try again later.

@full wagon Thanks. Believe I've found it. ballisticsComputer = 0; // Disabled for the weapon system.

#

no option to manually range the weapon. It is fixed at whatever distance you set it at and you need to use the optics reticule for ranging.

narrow swallow Jul 9, 2020, 12:44 PM

#

Your CfgWeapons should not be inside CfgPatches. requiredaddons has an extra comma.

My vehicle inherits from StaticWeapon but has a driver seat. Is there a config entry that disables the Engine On action?

winter rain Jul 9, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

@narrow swallow try this in the class Turrets section startEngine = false;

hot pine Jul 9, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

That parameter decides only if engine should be turned on when you move turret

winter rain Jul 9, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

is there also a way when the engine is on that its does an animation? is there any source for it?

#

Oh I see @narrow swallow, sorry about that. However, I think the extra comma in it is okay though. I do it since I very easily forget parts of instructions so yeah.. It takes me much longer to completely learn something unfortunately.

Hello everyone ! Step by step and in large part thanks to your help the plane on which I work begins to take shape. I come back to you when faced with a problem with missiles: when firing, the proxy missile in my proxy pylon does not "hide". I understand that I should add a "hide" animation somewhere but ... where and how? I manage to make Dynamic Loadout work well so I guess my proxies are great. No sample on Arma3's sample Anyone have an example to share with me?

untold temple Jul 10, 2020, 8:12 AM

#

The missile proxy needs to be a type that has maverickWeapon simulation in cfgNonAIvehicles

#

Easiest to just path the proxy inside your pylon to one of BI's bombs/missiles with that simulation already in place. But if you particularly want your own missile/bomb model to be the proxy, you need to write a cfgNonAIvehicles class for it

safe blade Jul 10, 2020, 8:16 AM

#

@untold temple thx, already done that

hello! im trying to execute a script every time there is a explosion, i found this config from RealEngine mod:

class IEDMineSmallExplosion

        type="real_blast_wave_effect_small";

        intensity=1;
        interval="3 * 1";
        lifeTime=1;
    };
};

i tryed with declaring my fuction in cfgfuctions and adding a

class NameOfTheFuction;

but it didnt work, im not so sure how configs works :c

I'm thinking this could be anything, but characters I've made, which show up and are place-able through the editor, are not being consistent in multiplayer. It seems that their uniforms are missing when a server loads them. They default to underwear, but the rest of their gear (helmets, vests, etc.) remain. The characters are using a mix of my mod and A3 items. This only happens if a character is placed directly, so if instead we use a custom loadout with the same gear, it will show up.

Hey y'all. Question: is it possible to make ammunition that tracks infantry?

dry carbon Jul 13, 2020, 10:26 AM

#

Like in 5th Element?

grave tiger Jul 13, 2020, 10:36 AM

#

More like a Needler

strong shuttle Jul 13, 2020, 10:40 AM

#

you should be able to get the bullet and modify it's direction with #arma3_scripting

grave tiger Jul 13, 2020, 10:41 AM

#

(^this guy is a noob^) So then what's the difference between Scripting vs Config?

idle matrix Jul 13, 2020, 10:42 AM

#

config is just defining stuff in assets, like setting armor values and what textures to use

#

scripting is for stuff like if X do Y else Z to actually make things happen in the game

grave tiger Jul 13, 2020, 10:46 AM

#

But most of the mechanics already exist, I just want it to apply to infantry...

strong shuttle Jul 13, 2020, 10:48 AM

#

it still requires you to run a script which runs for every bullet shot by a unit

hearty sandal Jul 13, 2020, 10:52 AM

#

I'm not sure if bullets have that kind of steering component. They would likely need to be so sort of rockets with thrust and steering

#

So possibly yes, but for the actual how I can't say

hearty sandal Jul 13, 2020, 11:38 AM

#

@idle matrix weapon and ammo stuff is more complex than that

#

First problem@grave tiger you have to figure out is that rifle type weapons can't fire rockets or missiles

grave tiger Jul 13, 2020, 11:39 AM

#

They don't need to be technically rockets.

#

You can give regular ammunition weaponLockSystem properties, right?

hearty sandal Jul 13, 2020, 11:40 AM

#

If you want the steering, they might need to be

#

But that you just have to test

#

Locking and homing towards the locked target are 2 different things

#

Also characters may have locking on them disabled in their own configs

#

If everything else fails you could make a invisible target that you attach inside characters when you aim at them so that the ammo can lock on to that

#

Sort of a tagging system

grave tiger Jul 13, 2020, 11:46 AM

#

Hmmmm.... Interesting...

hearty sandal Jul 13, 2020, 11:46 AM

#

But anyway. You can try get bullet type ammo have steering and locking first

#

Then possibly mess with submunitions to change bullet to missile mid flight

@grand creek https://github.com/CBATeam/CBA_A3/blob/master/addons/common/CfgVehicles.hpp#L4

you might also consider using locations as they are always local and lighter than objects:

grand creek Jul 13, 2020, 2:39 PM

#

Sweet blobcloseenjoy

#

last question, what is more heavy, creating a location or a string-type variable?

#

I guess that a location is heavier, right?

grand zinc Jul 13, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

location

#

don't know what your definition of "heavy" is, but moving electrons around is usually not considered a "heavy" thing

grand creek Jul 13, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

Heavymeans affects performance more:
Either takes more memory, or game starts to iterate this location object periodically

#

But yes thanks :)

#

I was just thinking if it would be better to make OOP objects from locations instead of just storing all in missionnamespace

lofty zealot Jul 13, 2020, 4:32 PM

Arrays are the lightest for objects

Hey! Currently working on a modified autocannon that has a dual-feed system, meaning that it can switch between HE and AP rounds, and I have got to the muzzles section. Currently it seems like a lot of inheritance, so I was going to set the muzzle class to inherit from the gun (which I know would cause a recursive definition but couldn't think of a better way to do so) but that didn't work, as it seems classes can only inherit from siblings. Is there any way to define new muzzles without writing tons of boilerplate using some form of inheritance from autocannon_Base_F, is there another base class I should use instead or do I just need to deal with it and do it?

PLP_EXECTest = __EVAL([0,1] select (count (addonFiles ["CUP\Terrains\cup_terrains_core"]) != 0));Sadly __EXEC and isClass didn't worked but this workaround lets me to do the thing. In this case if CUP\Terrains\cup_terrains_core is not found, PLP_EXECTest is 0 otherwise 1, and done without any (visible) errors (forgive the variable name)

hot pine Jul 14, 2020, 3:11 PM

@maiden lodge no, it cannot be used. It was usable for some time but then someone in team decided its a bug and removed it 😦

it would be quite cool to have it optional though

opal crater Jul 14, 2020, 3:23 PM

PLP_EXECTest = "parseNumber isClass (configFile >> 'CfgPatches' >> 'cup_terrains_core')";

should work in config.

#

number entries can be a string, then it's evaluated as code.

Does anybody have any ideas why uniformed soldiers are showing up in underwear, but only on servers? These are custom character classes using a mix of my assets and A3 assets. A typical combination for one of these characters is that it has one of my helmets along with an A3 uniform model using edited textures and materials (i.e.: change of color, bump changes, smdi changes).

#

The helmets and other gear are showing up, but the uniform itself is defaulting to underwear. This doesn't happen when you drop the character into the editor offline.

Oh yeah, it's doing some validation (which is not perfect as Number entries can be a String), I don't remember how CBA team worked around that.

#

maybe @hard chasm would be able to help.

grand zinc Jul 15, 2020, 9:54 AM

#

Afaik CBA team didn't workaround, they just stopped using mikeros tools

hard chasm Jul 15, 2020, 10:58 AM

#

in fact they didn't. Exec Eval / sqf statements must produce constants to be binarisable. the above can only be used if the pbo remains with a config.CPP. The above syntax only produces a constant at begginning of engine load.

#

cba and it's friends use my tools to alert them when the above conditions apply.

grand zinc Jul 15, 2020, 10:59 AM

#

Exec Eval / sqf statements must produce constants to be binarisable.
they are neither exec nor eval.

hard chasm Jul 15, 2020, 10:59 AM

#

(not of the above applies to description.ext because it is never binarised /until gametime

grand zinc Jul 15, 2020, 10:59 AM

#

the above can only be used if the pbo remains with a config.CPP.
nope, it works just fine

#

The above syntax only produces a constant at begginning of engine load.
yes thats the intention

#

in fact they didn't.
They did move away from your tools
https://github.com/CBATeam/CBA_A3/pull/1145
and ..

#

here is their workaround @opal crater
https://github.com/CBATeam/CBA_A3/pull/1199
Just move config into own pbo, and disable binarization on whole pbo so that mikeros tools stop complaining about it

opal crater Jul 15, 2020, 11:05 AM

#

I don't see why it can't be binarised thomp

#

it's just a string. Everything is handled at runtime by engine.

grand zinc Jul 15, 2020, 11:06 AM

#

Yeah no, as I said it can be binarized just fine

hard chasm Jul 15, 2020, 11:15 AM

#

in otherwords exec eval cannot be prebinarised (with the above syntax). You need to supply a cpp, not a bin. And in fact, you can supply a config.bin providing it's actual contents are text!

grand zinc Jul 15, 2020, 11:19 AM

#

There are no exec/eval used in this case though

with the above syntax
above syntax doesn't use either.

hard chasm Jul 15, 2020, 11:23 AM

#

exec/eval was mentioned in the beginning.

#

as for
anything="some; sqf; expressions;"; my tools don't even look at it. So they don't complain except for basic C(++) syntax rules.

how do you make a hide animation start as hidden?

untold temple Jul 16, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

In model.cfg or ingame vehicle config?

mortal pumice Jul 16, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

model.cfg

untold temple Jul 16, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

In model.cfg you can do it with hidevalue = 0; and then unhidevalue something greater than 0

#

in vehicle config you can set initphase to 1 to make the vehicle start with it hidden

mortal pumice Jul 16, 2020, 2:19 PM

#

so when the model first loads it will be hidden?

#

Oh wait i see

#

mine was set to 1

#

trying it now

untold temple Jul 16, 2020, 2:22 PM

#

You can still make it hidden at init with hidevalue = 1; You just have to make the animation source in config have initphase = 1; as well

#

It just depends which way around you need the hiding to work in e.g. the garage

mortal pumice Jul 16, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

The hidevalue worked

#

thanks a bunch

#

🙂

untold temple Jul 16, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

You included the unhidevalue as well, right? Otherwise it permanently hides no matter what value the animation source is set to.

mortal pumice Jul 16, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

yeah i did

#

just trying to link the animations atm i think i have it as ive setup the linking at the top of the model.cfg

#

need the unhidden bit to slide open with the rest of the door

mortal pumice Jul 16, 2020, 3:21 PM

unfortunately there are no A3 examples of amphibious setup so its mostly trial and error and deeper understanding of the configs for the vanilla APCs that are amphibious

A2 models can have some similarities if you get the A2 samples

ship config and model guidelines can point into right direction though

@hot pine Thanks for responding. I found this: hideWeapons__ in the Megalist. So far, every other search has had me going in circles.

I will not have time to check it this morning, but I can start testing this in about 6 hours.

Incidentally, there is no issue with "ON" NVGs. They are showing on crew helmets as long as they are in use.

It's funny, because people have always asked me how I draw so well and make pretty decent 3D models. When I tell them it's easy they usually act offended like I'm being condescending. I'm not, but it's still insensitive of me. So... maybe things aren't always easy. As I said, if I'm on here asking, then I probably already did a search and might have overlooked something (hint: I did). I am grateful for the advice, though, as this falls under the realm of something that I overlooked, and I did not see this in my prior searches.

Hey guys, I've stumbled upon a wierd bug: whenever a vehicle (static weapon) I made is getting hit (not necesarily taking damage, just getting hit with whatever weapon) it turns completely black

#

Has anyone had this problem before?

#

It's only happening on 2 of my vehicles

#

Out of about 20

#

Removing "camo" selection doesn't change it, still turns black when hit

untold temple Jul 18, 2020, 8:02 AM

#

Do you have class damage?

#

It's something like C class Damage { tex[]={}; mat[]= { "PATH\TO\MAIN.rvmat", "PATH\TO\DAMAGED.rvmat", "PATH\TO\DESTROYED.rvmat" }; };

#

If it's going black, it suggests maybe it can't find one or more materials from the destroyed or damaged .rvmat

Hey guys! I've made a custom explosive - tripwire flare - which is basically re-configured APERS Tripwire mine. Problem is, on the dedicated server the explosion sounds are localized to the server and don't appear on clients. This seems to apply only to mines placed in editor when mission is run on dedicated server, mines placed by a player after mission start work just fine on dedicated.

Here's the mod configs: https://github.com/Cambusta/Tripflare/tree/master/source/dnct_tripflare

I'm really confused with that one as the config is really tiny and just changing a few values of APERS mines that are working fine.
Any help will be appreciated.

I'm hesitant to ask, because I have done a little bit of searching on the topic and found quickly that there's very little information, but here goes: When exactly does "hover flight" kick in, in regards to a VTOL's VTOLYawInfluence? This question also applies to pitch and roll, but I'm interested in this one specifically, because it becomes overrun by the very ineffective rudder configs with the slightest speed. I guess what I'm also asking is: Is there is a way to change the speed or percentage in which the VTOL yaw relinquishes control?

hearty sandal Jul 19, 2020, 8:53 AM

Vtol makers are unfortunately quite rare. I'd be interested hearing more about this too!

Im making an Addon for RHS,
Basically I noticed one of their weapons in an infantry config rhs_weap_ak74mr_1p87 has the 1p87 for the weapons optic.
i tried doing the same for a different weapon by adding the optic at the end of the weapon classname and get a wrong classname error. made the classname correct after and no error How would I get a weapon into the config with an optic preconfigured

#

also tried searching in eden for that specific weapon, no dice must be config voodoo

untold temple Jul 19, 2020, 9:25 AM

#

You have to write new config classes for each weapon, inheriting from the basic weapon with no attachments, and add the attachments you want with linkeditems

#

That particular weapon's config looks like this:```C
class rhs_weap_ak74mr_1p87 : rhs_weap_ak74mr
{

class LinkedItems
{
    class LinkedItemsOptic
    {
        slot = "CowsSlot";
        item = "rhs_acc_1p87";
    };
    class LinkedItemsMuzzle
    {
        slot = "MuzzleSlot";
        item = "rhs_acc_uuk";
    };
};

};```

sullen fulcrum Jul 19, 2020, 9:31 AM

#

so this is logical

class Warlords_akmn: rhs_weap_akmn
{
 class Linkeditems
 {
      class LinkedItemsOptic
      { 
         slot = "cowslot";
         item = "rhs_acc_pkas";
       };
   };

};```
Also will this fall under Cfgweap?

#

ahhh wait i made it complex

#

rhs_weap_akmn_pkas

untold temple Jul 19, 2020, 9:41 AM

#

Missing a ; on the first line, but otherwise it's like that yes

#

would recommend making your classname distinct though. Use your own tags rather than starting with rhs ones

sullen fulcrum Jul 19, 2020, 9:51 AM

#

🤔 Now I believe to have implemented the classnames wrong into the config

#

https://pastebin.com/RdAsunwk is the way I added it to the infantry incorrect?

#

rn it just gives me the base AK no optic

dry carbon Jul 19, 2020, 9:54 AM

#

@hearty sandal I've been tooling around with my VTOL, the War Hawk, and I have found a nice work-around... actually it's something that should make the VTOLYawInfluence param obsolete. In order to turn in place, I set the rudderInflence way low - 0.5. Setting the rudderCoefs to much higher values (around 10, compared to typical 0.5 to 3.5 values) allowed better turning when drifting. There is still a bit of a struggle at super low speeds between VTOL yaw and rudder authority, but it goes away once there is a little drift/sway/thrust

winter rain Jul 19, 2020, 9:55 AM

#

im following this, cause some units in my mod are also VTOL 😛

dry carbon Jul 19, 2020, 9:56 AM

#

If you do it the other way around and try to strong-arm the rudderInfluence to higher values, the result will be sporatic, jerky turns, and the higher the attempted value, the more unpredictable it seems to be.

hearty sandal Jul 19, 2020, 9:58 AM

@dry carbon could you make a video of how yours flies right now?

Is it possible to change a thermal's thermalMode by adding a self ace interaction to it?

#

like switch between green and white

idle matrix Jul 22, 2020, 4:42 PM

Don't think so, the thermal modes are configured in the vehicle's config, and that isn't something you can change on the fly like that

spiral fiber Jul 22, 2020, 5:10 PM

so there are nvg-s with thermals. and i would like it so you have an ace interaction under equipment where you can switch the "thermalMode[]= {};" parameter of the nvg-s.

but you kidna already answered this. What if i make all of the variations and when you choose a color ir switches out the nvg item. Could that work?

this is way above what i have done so far config-wise so any help is appretiated really 😄

Also, when the active protection system is set off, it displays a feed message at the bottom left saying hard kill activated,

is there some function to track where the message comes from in aid of finding the APS script?

#

thanks , so i don't need to include all the coding under MainTurret and only the one I am changing?

untold temple Jul 23, 2020, 10:06 AM

#

So long as you have inherited MainTurret properly, you'd only need to change the gunnerType parameter and no need to include anything else

nocturne verge Jul 23, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

sweet Thanks so much!

untold temple Jul 23, 2020, 10:10 AM

#

The trick is with things like RightDoorGun. In the B_Heli_Transport_01_F parent class, the turret is defined as RightDoorGun: MainTurret and then changes a bunch of things like memory points and animation sources. But if you're modifying it in your own subclass you have to set it up with a RightDoorGun: RightDoorGun because otherwise it'll go back to inheriting everything from the MainTurret again

#

You have to be really aware of where the parameters you want to inherit for each turret class, are actually defined when rebuilding the whole turret setup

#

And even though you're not modifying CopilotTurret, it still needs to be in your turrets class with proper inheritance, else this turret simply disappears from the vehicle

#

On the other hand, I think for the textureSources thing, it's going to be simply something like C class Heli_Transport_01_base_F: Helicopter_Base_H { class Turrets; class TextureSources { class myTextures { #customisation parameters# }; }; };

#

Just class TextureSources rather than class TextureSources: TextureSources because in that case you are merging the existing TextureSources where they are defined in that base class, with the one in your config, in order to add the new classes

If you have set up your development environment correctly with a P drive, the path it the same as the directory structure on the P drive (except for the drive designation itself).
So if your texture is in P:/yourmod/addons/youraddon/textures/file.paa than the path would be /yourmod/addons/youraddon/textures/file.paa

does medikit go under magazines or linkedItems?

grand zinc Jul 26, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

a medkit can't be linked and technically its a weapon.. maybe magazines

hot pine Jul 26, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

all items (map, watch, radio, etc) are technically weapons 😉 . Medikit would go to the items but keep in mind that takes a lot of space

#

support for medkits/toolkits in vest was added in 1.98 patch

#

Tweaked: Medikits and Toolkits can be now stored in vests if there is enough space - FT - T128710

I'm looking into making a helmet with integrated NVGs, and presenting them as a single item in the helmets category of the arsenal. I also want to disable compatibility with any other NVGs. I can make their classes as individual components and give them a scope of 1 to keep the separate parts from being accessed, but I'm still trying to figure out if I can use a new class which includes both component classes to accomplish the full effect.

strong shuttle Jul 27, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

afaik the only way to accomplish that is by making a "normal" helmet and force a (empty) NVG in slot.
This can be done by adding event handlers on Put, Take and some others which will check for the current helmet, remove current NVG's and add the hidden one.

hearty sandal Jul 27, 2020, 12:32 AM

#

I recall there is a config variable for that

#

since the Viper helmets work like that

dry carbon Jul 27, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

Funny you say Viper helmets.

strong shuttle Jul 27, 2020, 12:39 AM

#

^^ the ViperHelmet has a config entry called subItems

class H_HelmetO_ViperSP_hex_F: H_HelmetB
{
   ...
   subItems[] = {"Integrated_NVG_TI_1_F"};
}

hearty sandal Jul 27, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

I recall the subitem then overwrites and reserves the NVG slot

dry carbon Jul 27, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

That looks awesome

#

It was destiny, because the helmet/goggles combo this is for is inspired by the Cobra Viper helmet.

Hi i have a question about class cfgs. I have two cfg files identical to one another in every way except the textures that they pull for the uniforms they wear. When i pack the pbos and load them up in the mod, only one will ever show up. It's either one or the other and never both. Could anyone tell me what might be causing that?

dry carbon Jul 27, 2020, 7:17 AM

#

@sullen fulcrum If I'm understanding you right, you need to give them separate class names. In this case, it's a good idea to inherit from one, and affect only the textures and materials you want to change in the second class.

Hi, so it's not a massive issue or anything but moreso gaining understanding. I was recently changing up the sounds for the Challenger 2 mod made by Burnes, came across a sound pack from Steel Beasts so I decided to try and implement it. It sounds.. awfully weird and when you're off the throttle (but still moving) it just has no sound. Why could this be?

#

I didn't remove or add any parts to the sound section of the config file, only changed some file paths for the sound files

    // PYLON AASM proxy weapon = 3Rnd_LGB_AASM
    class PylonRack_3Rnd_LGM_AASM: 3Rnd_LGB_AASM // pylon avec 3 missiles
    {

Hi, I'm trying to add a BLUFOR version of LDF and thought simply changing side to 1 would work, i.e. /*extern*/ class I_E_Survivor_F; class B_E_Survivor_F : I_E_Survivor_F { side = 1; }; However, two unexpected things happen when I load my simple mod and start placing my new units in Eden: 1) B_E_Survivor_F appears to be dressed in the AAF combat uniform, 2) his uniform displays as <Empty> in Eden's loadout editor despite him having uniformClass = "U_I_E_Uniform_01_F"; according to the config viewer. Issue #1 seems to be because almost all LDF characters have hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\A3\Characters_F_Beta\INDEP\Data\ia_soldier_01_clothing_co.paa"}; rather than something LDF-specific, which seems like a bug. Can anyone explain why issue #2 happens?

untold temple Jul 27, 2020, 5:10 PM

magazine[]= is mistyped. Should be magazines[]= plural @safe blade

@untold temple you solved in one sentence 4 days of research as in "find the error" THANK YOU 🙂

tepid saffron Jul 27, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

Further to my question above, by the same "re-siding" process, my B_E_Soldier_CBRN_F character, now part of my new BLUFOR LDF faction works fine. He looks identical to his IND counterpart, and Eden's loadout editor lists his uniform as U_I_E_CBRN_Suit_01_EAF_F. ...which baffles me, since he inherited hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\A3\Characters_F_Beta\INDEP\Data\ia_soldier_01_clothing_co.paa"};, the AAF combat uniform, from I_E_Soldier_CBRN_F ... 🤦‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️

I have used the script for RTD and it works like a charm - however, my skids are about 6 inches off the ground, how do I adjust this? (I used my landcontact LOD points to create the Skids RTD positions).

Also, should I enter the Vertical/Horizontal Stabilizers and both Rotors centers too into the RTD points calculator.

where is cfgWeapons?
you want to inherit ItemCore, where is it defined?

please check https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Characters_And_Gear_Encoding_Guide#Vest_configuration

because as the error says, there are missing inheritance classes
but in total it's broken completely due not not using the correct structure

covert magnet Jul 29, 2020, 12:28 AM

yeah i copied template inherited from an overall mod, including uniforms etc... So that's probably why.

I'm using this script `class cfgWeapons

class ItemInfo: ItemInfo

                    armor = 16;
                    passThrough = 0.3;
            };
        };
    };
};

};` but i want to add more vests so at which point would i be copying the text and pasting it

strong shuttle Jul 29, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

if the vests are the same you can simply inherit V_vest_new and only add the stuff which change

class V_vest_anotherNew: V_vest_new {
   displayName = "Another New Vest";
   // ect.
};

which is also placed within CfgWeapons

Regarding your issue:

You don't load class Uniform_Base; before (simply add it above class U_B_soldier_new: Uniform_Base )
