Jeep with turret

[Viking_NFS 0]

Hi all,

I'm working on a conversion of the PedagneMOD Lince/LMV model for the Norwegian Force modification.

Arremba over at PedagneMOD was decent enough to lend me the MLOD of the jeep to ease the process.

I have run into abit of difficulty regarding the animation of the vehicle.

I can't seem to get ANY moving parts working on the jeep. No wheels turning.

The turret won't rotate or elevate, and it won't even fire.

The only thing that seems to have worked is that the muzzle flash is gone.

At the moment, I am using the following model.cfg:

(The turrets are defined above CfgVehicles as they should be).

And before you ask, the p3d model has the same name as it does under cfgmodels in the model.cfg.

And I've gone over the model together with the model.cfg about three times and all the selections correspond.

Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

I'm assuming it's something really basic that, once fixed, will sort out the whole shebang.

Thanks

With

class NOM_IVECO_M2Skeleton: NOM_CarSkeleton
{
	isDiscrete=1;
	skeletonInherit="NOM_CarSkeleton";
	SkeletonBones[]=
 		{
 		};
   };

I'm pretty sure you just defined NO skeleton for you car.

You may have been trying to copy NOM_CarSkeleton, but you didn't.

Copy the WHOLE text out again for SkeletonBones[] inn your new model.

Spell it out, its only a few bytes of data extra, but could save you a lot of time.

Thanks for the reply!

Do you mean copy the SkeletonBones from NOM_CarSkeleton into NOM_IVECO_M2Skeleton?

I did that anyway, and it did nothing for me.

[[aps]gnat 28]

Seems to be no need for the extra skeleton definitions anyway.

In the CFGModel simply have

skeletonName="NOM_CarSkeleton";

for everyone of your vehicles.

Right beside that you must have a

sections[] = {blah, blah ....

You don't seem to have that.

Its assumed your P3D is called "NOM_IVECO_M2.p3d" else it won't work.

Yup its def called the right p3d name.

Tried what you said here but still nothing...

Really appreciate the help!

Now, the turret will fire but not rotate. And the main gun cannot be moved up and down either. Any suggestions?

			type="rotationY";
			source="mainTurret";
			selection="otocvez";
			axis="osaveze";
			animPeriod=0;
			minValue="rad -360";

		class MainGun

			animPeriod=0;
			minValue="rad -360";
			maxValue="rad +360";
			angle0="rad -360";
			angle1="rad +360";
		};

look at the parts called selection

These parts must be named with the same names as the turret and gun selections in O2, and must also be present in you skeleton bones and in your model definitions

You have defined the turret and gun selections with the names "turret" and "gun" so try this and in animations class

class MainTurret
		{
			type="rotationY";
			source="mainTurret";
			selection="turret";
			axis="osaveze";
			animPeriod=0;
			minValue="rad -360";
			maxValue="rad +360";
			angle0="rad -360";
			angle1="rad +360";
		};
		class MainGun
		{
			type="rotationX";
			source="mainGun";
			selection="gun";
			axis="OsaHlavne";
			animPeriod=0;
			minValue="rad -360";
			maxValue="rad +360";
			angle0="rad -360";
			angle1="rad +360";
		};

For the turret to work you also have to add an axis (two points) in oxigen 2, create a new selection and name it accordingly. In this config axis are called OsaHlavne for the gun and osaveze for the turret.

Look at this tutorial. It is for OFP but most things are still valid:

Cheers mankyle for the help, i got a little bit further now!

But the following happened:

1. Got the gun to go up and down (but not rotate with the turret, proxy and hatch)

at the same time

2. Got the turret, proxy and hatch to rotate (again, without the gun following)

THEN

Linked the turret and gun together in cfgskeletons (forgot to do that), along with the hatch.

And now the gun goes up and down, but there is no movement of the turret what so ever.

And the reticle (and line of fire) does NOT move with the gun as it goes up and down.

So I have

a) a gun that goes up and down

b) the crosshairs dont move with the gun

c) the turret doesnt move

Suggestions?

Look at the tutorials and go to o2

Go to the Gun and turret's selections in the first LOD.

If you select the turret selection the Gun selection, the proxy and the hatch must be part of the turret selection.

And also, go to the memory LOD and look at the memory points. The gunnerview, usti hlavne and konec hlavne memory points must be selected and a new selection must be created and named gun, the same name that it is in the resolution LOD.

then create a new selection that includes the gunnerview, usti hlavne and konec hlavne memory points and the Osahlavne (gun axis) memory points.

That would be all

Cheers man, thats it solved. :)

This is what I found out, for future reference for anyone else:

1. All selections need to be correct (Brssebs tutorials)

2. CfgSkeletons needs to be defined correctly (VBS2 model.cfg tutorial)

3. Three important rules (VBS2 turret parameters tutorial)

* the cfgSkeleton bones must directly match the named selections in the model, but

* the turret config's animationSourceBody/Gun must directly match animation's source parameter, and

* the turret config's gun/body must directly match the animation classnames.

And hey presto - It works!

Thanks again guys! ;)

Also remember to add the muzzle proxy to the IVECOs weapon. Muzzle proxies are located in

\CA\weapons\

Try adding the \CA\weapons\zasleh1_proxy, i think it is the one for machine guns

Happy that it works now. Turrets are a PITA to set correctly
