Coalition Static Weapon Framework

[pastel quarry]

Summary
In Coalitions Friday Sessions we lacked an HMG/Mortar element to our gameplay, as we could never use them do to their static nature, so I built out a system that functions almost exactly like Arma 3s static weapon system for use in our sessions.

@vague nacelle remember how I was talking about how this kinda mod would be a cool idea!

[pastel quarry]

Been a feauture I've wanted for a while lmao

[magic minnow]

One of my buds tested this. Any plans to fix the stretchy arms? Also, no way to elevate it. Will this be added in the future?

[pastel quarry]

The only way to elevate it is to get on the same level as where you are placing it.

To prevent it from teleporting on top of buildings and such but I can look into having a buffer zone so you can place it a little higher

Also the animations are just a base game thing

I'll look into a solution for when a tripod is on the ground you will lay down but its at the bottom of my list of priorities to make an animation for it

Small update today
-Added so that if you go 10m away from the turret it will cancel the moving action.
-Added a check to see if while a player is moving a turret and they go uncon or die, it now cancels the moving of the turret.

[pastel quarry]

Did digging and in the next update Bohemia fixed going prone in a weapon turret so just gotta wait till then to fix stretchy arms

[wild axle]

It seems to be fixed in experimental, I was using the tripod weapons sat down in experimental

[pastel quarry]

Added a compat for the WZ turrets

@pastel quarry Hi I saw that you added the mortars, to differentiate what do you think about using the slightly larger backpack? Simulationally speaking it gives the sense that everything fits inside

anyway nice work and great idea to have added the mortar

[fringe moon]

@fallen raven

this would be so cool with like tripwires

[pastel quarry]

I could do that

[tribal perch]

This is a vanilla issue I’m pretty sure

[marble saffron]

Will the RHS 240 be included

[pastel quarry]

It does not currently have a tripod variant

[marble saffron]

🥺sigh

[fringe moon]

Trip wires?

[pastel quarry]

Are they in the base game?

[oak mural]

@pastel quarry Can I make a halo mod based off this? I wanna create a super heavy sniper rifle and this mod would be perfect to simulate the big weapon

[pastel quarry]

Ofc just have it as a dependency and you can look at the WZ compat on how to integrate it into your mod

[fringe moon]

Are mortars included with a dependency? I swear I saw someone mention mortars

[pastel quarry]

In the WZ Compat mod mortars are supported

[fringe moon]

@fallen raven we need dis

Hey i created a CSW RHS Compat mod:
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/630A864B648D66D6-CSWRHSCompat

It reskinns the Backpacks to use th RHS Filbe Backpacks, adds the Backpacks to the USMC Arsenal and enables the Usage of the M240B, M240B Light and M249.

[shadow tartan]

is there a standalone rhs compat? or can it only be run with wz?

[pastel quarry]

Update 1.0.5

• Adds Mortar support

[undone osprey]

Sooo how does one use this?

[pastel quarry]

Get yourself a battle buddy
One carries a bipod backpack, the other carries the weapon of your choosing backpack
Put both on the ground and use the assemble weapon action on the weapon bag

Doing disassemble weapon gives you the weapon bag and the bipod bag back and saves all the ammo that was in the weapon

[whole fossil]

in love with the mod! suprised more people and servers dont use this especially for the NSV and M2.

[pastel quarry]

M60 and PKM can be placed on tripods as well if you have an AMG with a tripod bag

[undone osprey]

I love the 240

Hi. Do you plan to add realistic backpack models for machine guns? Something like these:

[whole fossil]

this is a framework

[cursive thicket]

There is a problem with ammunition for this mod. For example if you assemble M2 and take ammo out and then dissasemble and then assemble again you have ammunition in it again, so this is the way to duplicate ammo.

To solve this you could make it so weapon spawns without any ammo, so user would need to either come with 3 guys or load ammo into car. Maybe there is more casual way to fix it

Another bug or problem is that if you have 2 static weapons placed close together(like 5 or 10m apart) and you try to move one of those, they both move to the same spot

[whole fossil]

not this mod thats vanilla?

[cursive thicket]

What is not this mod?

[whole fossil]

The ammo being in the boxes duplicating?

You do know how this mod works right?

[cursive thicket]

I know how it works I was testing it yesterday on my server and I have stated what kind of bugs or exploits or whatever I have found

I hope they can fix it if not it's okay because most people will not even think about that
