Placeable HMG

[glass obsidian]

Love this idea so much !

[opal quarry]

Yes, it is something I have been missing. Thanks to phantom9062 for putting me on the idea 😀

[jovial sand]

@prisma oar

[hardy oyster]

Love it

[jovial sand]

This would be great for weapon squads

[wide moth]

At least 5 of us are working on this in different ways lmao

We all seemed to have an issue that someone else didn't have when trying to make this

[calm latch]

nice

[arctic latch]

Awesome concept hopefully we can see this used for like dirt mounds to make shift trenches/fox holes

[wide moth]

^

The old ACE3 trench digging comes to mind

Gruppe addler trenches

[past quail]

This type of placement (like in conflict) for fortification buildings in gamemaster for players to spawn would be amazing 😄

[desert sundial]

Looks amazing

[cosmic shard]

Anyway to make it in 2 parts like irl

So like one person carrying trypid nd one carrying weapon nd barrals

[hardy oyster]

I mean I assume using some form of system the A10 uses of making bombs work you could have it in your hands and attach it

[opal quarry]

yeah, I would love to do it like that. Will play around with it and see if I can make that, there must be a way.

[hardy oyster]

I love how this could be a dependency for mortars

[arctic latch]

W thinking fr

[sacred violet]

👀

[solar pagoda]

Sorry I know you've got alot on your plate but a spotting scope would be quite good

[opal quarry]

Yes, that is why I started making placeable depoyables, this can all be used for that. Just need to figure out a way to rotate the placement

[wide moth]

Does it tie to the way a player is currently looking? That's more than usable, unless you think you can script a component to add the Scroll Wheel as the rotate method, like the building system

[opal quarry]

It does not tie to the way player is looking rn. So need to either make it like that or rotate option.

[solar pagoda]

Having it so it faces the same direction as player faces would be good enough

[glass obsidian]

^ I'd prefer that actually

[hardy oyster]

@past kite

Bro imagine this with like a spg9

[wide moth]

@opal quarry Do you have plans to release this as a mod, or are you keeping it as simply just a showcase?

[hardy oyster]

Even if it was a dependency I'm sure alot of modders would appreciate this ability and have the ability to create alot of mods with it

[opal quarry]

Plan is to realease it as a mod. Just need to sit down and figure out the rotation/Angle facing when I get time.

[feral tartan]

any update?

[jovial sand]

Was there anything figured out about the HMG?

[opal quarry]

Genius, that was exactly what I was struggling with. I am dum at coding 😂 .

[shut moss]

and this is not a code, these are just 2 turrets. brilliant = simple.

[opal quarry]

mhhh, would you care to show me?

[wide moth]

Your telling me you can have a 2 man crew operating a Kornet? One moving the thing and one aiming it?

[shut moss]

yes

[wide moth]

IM in love with you

The Machineguns dont need to be rotated, but the fact we can rotate SPGs and ATGMs like this

[shut moss]

I'm setting up the mod now, I think I'll upload it today, here's the mesh

[wide moth]

Sheeeeeesh

You gotta make it heavy enough that it takes an entire Alice bag to carry it

That way one man carries the pod, the other carries ammunition to load it

[opal quarry]

Perfect, this is exactly what we needs now. Being able to actually use a HMG other than placed by game master or in FOB will be so FUN.

[shut moss]

I'm doing this now

[wide moth]

This is so cool

[wide moth]

Plekter, I shit you not when I say me, you, and Red were working on stuff like this for days, and it seems all three of us each had different issues at different points
VLST here is a hero, this thing is gonna go hard and open up SO many possibilities

[opal quarry]

Oh, yeah. VLST coming in with the carry. Can't wait to try this in a live game.

[wide moth]

He said itll be out tonight, ill have my group add it to their server so we can bug test it

[wide moth]

Odd question, but this IS a Kornet, isnt it? Russian?

[shut moss]

yes this is 9K111 "Konkurs" from the BMP mod

[wide moth]

Sweet!

[wide moth]

You know, you can add a secondary "Weapon" on the "Commanders" seat there, the one that turns it
That way he can zoom in and see exactly what the Gunner sees, despite being a different turret techncially

[hardy oyster]

Why all the cool shit gotta come when I physically can't play 😭

[shut moss]

@opal quarry @wide moth I published a mod, you can check it and see how it works, but for now I'll rest

[wide moth]

bet! Send me a link!

[wide moth]

Good first impressions
Only two bugs

1.) You wont go prone when actually using it, itll put you in a sitting position
2.) Reloading is buggy, doesnt seem to work properly

[shut moss]

1. this is due to the game engine, it all depends on the surface you are on
2. I forgot to apply the component, I’m fixing it now

[wide moth]

Component? Which component exactly, I have this same issue with another mod and id love to know how to fix it

[shut moss]

I do everything in haste and because it shouldn’t, the component is universalinventory

[wide moth]

The M270 MLRS had the same issue for awhile where it sometimes reloaded, sometimes didnt, sometimes took 10 tries

It crashes when loaded up on servers :c

Does it have a custom GUID?

Here is the Log

[shut moss]

I'm not as surprised as I was, it's really terrible

[shut moss]

it's damned, my mod broke, now it's all over again

[shut moss]

I was able to install it on the server

[wide moth]

I'll double check, it kicked me whenever I joined while loaded alongside our current mod list

[shut moss]

updated the mod

[wide moth]

Still doesnt want to reload for me :c

And the rockets list off to the left of every shot, completely missing the target

[shut moss]

already fixed it

[wide moth]

I just updated to the most recent version, and it most definitely isnt fixed

[shut moss]

it is currently being uploaded to the workshop

[wide moth]

ohh, gotcha

[shut moss]

strange, everything worked in Tools, now in the game the rocket goes left againъ

:\

[wide moth]

The age old curse

Thats one of the reasons Reforger had a bad launch
They tested everything in the workbench and on local hosted servers

Perhaps its shooting from the Rotate turret?

And thats why its off to the left?

[shut moss]

partly yes, I think I’ve already fixed it, I’m checking it in the game right now

or maybe this is ballistics that was originally written by SpaceStrider`s...

[wide moth]

Is it rotated?

[shut moss]

although this has never happened before

[wide moth]

It might have slight bullet drop up to down, and perhaps you might have rotated it, so that up to down is left to right?

Send Strider a message about it, I can reload it consistently now, but aiming it is a little tricky

[shut moss]

I'll check now

[wide moth]

yeah, try rotating the pod 90 degrees either way, so the Drop either goes up or down
I think that might have been what it was, where the launcher was so high that Strider had the missile drop down a little to be in line with the Optic just after launch

cause after about 25 meters, the missile resumes its course

It literally says

l
l
l
\



l
l
l

[shut moss]

yes, you're right, but now I don't know how to fix it... I'll think about it now.

[wide moth]

You could try editing the Ballistics Config

Or perhaps moving the View camera to the left and aligning the Cursor up with the new place it actually shoots

[shut moss]

I can, but it seems like this should affect the infantry fighting vehicle

[wide moth]

You could always Duplicate

make a duplicate turret, duplicate weapon, and duplicate config

[shut moss]

I changed the aiming reticle and the rocket began to fly differently

[wide moth]

Hmm

[shut moss]

so I understand, it’s not about the valuable grid

Right now I’ll change the reticle so that people can shoot, until I don’t understand how to fix the flight of the rocket

[mental turret]

What is the mod called? Is it out yet?

[shut moss]

@mental turret

[wide moth]

@boreal pecan

[boreal pecan]

It must be hitting something while it's exiting the tube

[wide moth]

It's consistent even when aimed at the sky and everything

The rocket draws a shape like this

I
I
\


I
I

No matter how it's aimed, up, down, etc, the rocket will go out of the barrel, then turn left after 10 meters, then Proceed to fly straight forwards again off center of the cursor

[shut moss]

if you turn the model 9m113 on its side, then the trajectory of the rocket will be correct

if the 9m113 stands on the tripod at the same angle as on the BMP, then the rocket flies to the left, and then it aligns again

[shut moss]

@wide mothI solved the problem, it's the placement of the hands

if you raise the position of your right hand, the rocket will begin to fly to the left

it just works it's weird

I fixed it

[hardy oyster]

How powerful is it? For a two man crew I expect it to knock out a tank in 2-3 shots

[mental turret]

Hey is there a portable .50 cal instead of the ATGM?

I mean the ATGM is cool but the .50 cal is cooler

[hardy oyster]

Who cares about portable 50, when we have portable kornet comrade

[mental turret]

Nqh

[hardy oyster]

Nuh uh

[mental turret]

Get yo commie ass outta here

AMERICA RAHHHH

[hardy oyster]

Oo, perhaps similar to the 50, if this mod will be separated into different mods for different weapons we could have one using the t72 NSV?

[shut moss]

PTRK can be used by 1 person, 1 missile falling into a tank and the tank is destroyed

[hardy oyster]

You are beautiful

[hardy oyster]

Truly an up and coming god of Reforger modding

[jovial sand]

Will we be seeing the HMG sometime soon? Or is this going to take time

[opal quarry]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5E7CBC328E67E60D-PlaceableHMGs

It is not perfect yet, but it works. I have not been able to figure out how to make it into 2 parts and have it as a backpack item yet.

[jovial sand]

Awesome thanks for the heads up man, Really appreciate this mod because I’ve been looking to make one of my platoon squads a weapons squad. Good shit man 🤙

[wide moth]

Yo no way

How'd you make that KPV?

I didn't think there were handles on it to grab ahold of

[opal quarry]

It is the KPV from BTR. There are no sights and no handles on it, but it works I guess

Probaly not to hard to make it into a DSHK tho, so might do that in the future

[wide moth]

All it needs is a way to reliably aim it and it's perfect

[opal quarry]

Yeah true, coul add just a scope to it i guess

[fringe shoal]

Could you @opal quarry , make a short video showing how this works? I don't see any of those guns as a gunner seat, no passenger seat

[opal quarry]

Yep, can do.

[fringe shoal]

thanks
