Small arms - bolt and magazine animation

RR_Raptor65 · March 27, 2010

I'm still new to modelling in ArmA 2, I've managed to get several small arms in-game and working thanks to earlier help here. But one thing that continues to bother me is the animations.

Right now I'm focusing on one of the guns, an SMG called the MG39, I think if I can get an understanding of how to get the animations working with that gun I can get them working with the rest.

I've been trying to figure out how to get the bolt to move when firing and the magazine to disappear when reloading with absolutely no success, and my endless searches have shed no light on what I'm doing wrong or what I'm missing.

Here's my Model Config:

class CfgSkeletons
{
   class Default
{
	isDiscrete = 1;
	skeletonInherit = "";
	skeletonBones[] = {};
};

   class RomaGun: Default
   {
       skeletonInherit="";
       skeletonBones[]=
       {
           "magazine","",
           "trigger","",
           "bolt",""
       };
   };
};

Section focusing on the MG39, I've butchered and reconfigured the animations so many times now they're probably wrong now if they were ever right.

    class MG39: RomaGun
   {
	skeletonName="MG39";
	class Animations
	{
		class reload_magazine
		{
			type="hide";
			source="reloadMagazine";
			selection="magazine";
			hidevalue=1;
		};

		class trigger
		{
			type = "rotationZ";
			source = "reload";
			selection = "trigger";
			axis = "trigger_axis";
			minValue = 0;
			maxValue = 3;
			angle0 = 0;
			angle1 = -3;
		};

		class bolt_action
		{
			type="translationX";
			source="reload";
			selection="bolt";
			axis="";
			memory="false";
			animPeriod=0;
			minValue=0;
			maxValue=0.09;
		};
	};
       sections[]={"zasleh"};
	sectionsInherit="";
};

I won't help much because I don't model at all... but may be you can find an addon or some original weapon with some of similar parts animated and unpack\extract it's configs and models and see how it works?

RR_Raptor65 · March 27, 2010

The problem with that is the files would all be binarized.

STALKERGB · September 9, 2008

EDIT: added what I needed to add. Ignore the text which has been crossed out.

Right, well I'm not the most experienced at this but I have added working bolts/mags before.

Anyway, down to business, firstly:

class CfgSkeletons
{

class Default

{

isDiscrete = 1;

skeletonInherit = "";

skeletonBones[] = {};

};

class RomaGun: Default

{

skeletonInherit="";

skeletonBones[]=

{

"magazine","",

"trigger","",

"bolt",""

};

};

};

Needs to be defined with the actual P3D's name, so in this case rather tha calling your class RomaGun you have to call it MG39, you could of course rename your P3D but its probably easier to change the class name. Also I don't believe you need the default class in there at all, below is the corrected version (hopefully) it should work if you copy/pasted this into your model.cfg:

class RomaGun:
{

isDiscrete = 0; --- not too sure what this does but I have mine set to 0 and it works ok

skeletonInherit="";

skeletonBones[]=

{

"magazine","",

"trigger","",

"bolt",""

};

};

};

Much of the model.cfg section seems to be fine for the MG39, the changes I would make are below:

class MG39: RomaGun
{

skeletonName="RomaGun";

class Animations

{

class reload_magazine

{

type="hide";

source="reloadMagazine";

selection="magazine";

hidevalue=1;

};

class trigger

{

type = "rotationZ";

source = "reload";

selection = "trigger";

axis = "trigger_axis";

minValue = 0;

maxValue = 3;

angle0 = 0;

angle1 = -3;

};

class bolt

{

type="translation";

source="reload";

selection="bolt";

axis="bolt_axis";

begin="bolt_axis_begin";

end="bolt_axis_end";

animPeriod=0;

minValue=0;

maxValue=0.09;

offset0="0";

offset1="1";

};

};

sections[]={"zasleh"};

sectionsInherit="";

};

As you can see I have changed the bolt class slightly, I've added in the axis for what it will move along and removed translationX as I don't think thats needed (to specify X that is). I'm not too sure what offset do, I guess its to do with direction of the movement, so from forward then backwards or backwards then forwards. Also, although I have left AnimPeriod in there, you probably don't need that unless you want to make the bolt move more slowly... Also the skeleton name needs to be the same as the skeleton RomaGun you set up earlier.

The only other issue I found was with your model, you need to rename Bolt and Magazine to bolt and magazine. The model.cfg has the selection names in lower case so the selections on the model need to be too.

You're a life saver, the CfgSkeletons is what was confusing me, the sample Cfgs from BIS are very unclear about a lot of things and horribly messy.

STALKERGB · September 9, 2008

You're a life saver, the CfgSkeletons is what was confusing me, the sample Cfgs from BIS are very unclear about a lot of things and horribly messy.

Thats ok mate, if you need any help just say, and I'll do my best. Also hopefully you'll notice but I corrected myself earlier on with the cfgskeletons as (after looking at my weapons model.cfg) you dont need to call the skeleton class after you model name. I've updated my post correcting it. The only thing you need to do is make sure that the skeleton you point your model to in the cfgmodels section is called the same as the skeleton you created in cfgskeletons. With a bit of luck that made sense.

Below is the combined version of the stuff I corrected above,

class CfgSkeletons
class RomaGun:

{

isDiscrete = 0;

skeletonInherit="";

skeletonBones[]=

{

"magazine","",

"trigger","",

"bolt",""

};

};

};

class CfgModels

class MG39: RomaGun

{

skeletonName="RomaGun";

class Animations

{

class reload_magazine

{

type="hide";

source="reloadMagazine";

selection="magazine";

hidevalue=1;

};

class trigger

{

type = "rotationZ";

source = "reload";

selection = "trigger";

axis = "trigger_axis";

minValue = 0;

maxValue = 3;

angle0 = 0;

angle1 = -3;

};

class bolt

{

type="translation";

source="reload";

selection="bolt";

axis="bolt_axis";

begin="bolt_axis_begin";

end="bolt_axis_end";

animPeriod=0;

minValue=0;

maxValue=0.09;

offset0="0";

offset1="1";

};

};

sections[]={"zasleh"};

sectionsInherit="";

};

By the way, nice looking model matey :)

Yeah, the MG39 and the M22 are the only two that fire from an open bolt, -0.09 for the MG39 and -0.085 for the M22. However when I tried this in-game the bolts no longer moved. I'll give your updated bolt animation a try.
