Αplion 1122 Posted February 17, 2012 Maybe my problem has been reffered in some other topics but as far as I searched and read I haven't found any clear solution ... so here I am ... I have a building in my map with this config below ... class CfgPatches { class APLION_Buildings { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.0; requiredAddons[] = {"CABuildings","CABuildings2","CAData"}; }; }; class CfgVehicleClasses { class APLION_BuildingsVehicleClass { displayName = "ApLion Houses "; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class HouseBase; class House: HouseBase { class DestructionEffects; }; class All; class Ruins; class APLION_Base_Object : House { scope = 0; side = 3; icon = "iconStaticObject"; nameSound = "object"; simulation = "house"; picture = "pictureStaticObject"; model=""; sound = "Building"; placement = "vertical"; ladders[] = {}; vehicleClass = ""; displayName = ""; coefInside = 1; coefInsideHeur = 0.25; mapSize = 7.5; animated = 1; armor = 300; destrType = "DestructBuilding"; damageResistance = 0.004; class DestructionEffects { class Sound { simulation = "sound"; type = "DestrHouse"; position = "destructionEffect1"; intensity = 1; interval = 1; lifeTime = 0.05; }; class DestroyPhase1 { simulation = "destroy"; type = "DelayedDestruction"; lifeTime = 2.5; position = ""; intensity = 1; interval = 1; }; class DamageAround1 { simulation = "damageAround"; type = "DamageAroundHouse"; position = ""; intensity = 1; interval = 1; lifeTime = 1; }; }; }; class APLION_Housebase : APLION_Base_Object { scope = 1; model = ""; icon = ""; displayName = ""; animated = 1; vehicleClass = "APLION_BuildingsVehicleClass"; nameSound = "house"; accuracy = 0.2; typicalCargo[] = {}; transportAmmo = 0; transportRepair = 0; transportFuel = 0; mapSize = 11; cost = 0; armor = 800; /*extern*/ class DestructionEffects; }; class Land_build2: APLION_Housebase { model = "APLION_buildings\Build1\build2.p3d"; displayName = "Diorofo #1"; nameSound = ""; mapSize = 8; icon = "iconStaticObject"; accuracy = 1000; armor = 200; position = "vertical"; destrType = "DestructBuilding"; scope = 2; class DestructionEffects : DestructionEffects { class Ruin1 { simulation = "ruin"; type = "ca\structures\ruins\ruin_01"; position = ""; intensity = 1; interval = 1; lifeTime = 1; }; }; class Hitglass { armor = 0.0005; material = -1; name = "tzamia"; visual = ""; passThrough = 0; convexComponent = "tzamia"; }; class AnimationSources { class door_button1 { source = "user"; animPeriod = 1.5; initPhase = 0; }; class door_button2 { source = "user"; animPeriod = 1.5; initPhase = 0; }; }; class UserActions { class Open_door { displayName="Open Door"; onlyforplayer = 0; position="door_button1"; radius=2; condition="this animationPhase ""door_button1"" < 0.5"; statement="this animate [""door_button1"", 1]"; }; class Close_Door : Open_door { displayName="Close Door"; condition="this animationPhase ""door_button1"" >= 0.5"; statement="this animate [""door_button1"", 0]"; }; class Open_door2 { displayName="Open Door"; onlyforplayer = 0; position="door_button2"; radius=2; condition="this animationPhase ""door_button2"" < 0.5"; statement="this animate [""door_button2"", 1]"; }; class Close_Door2 : Open_door2 { displayName="Close Door"; condition="this animationPhase ""door_button2"" >= 0.5"; statement="this animate [""door_button2"", 0]"; }; }; }; }; ... my problem is that I want this building to have a much more dust effect when is destructed in order to give better effect during colapse and during ruins revealing period ... plus ... a way to make these ruins to be revealed in the center of my building after destruction and not at the original left place they are by default ... Can anyone be so kind to help me on these issues as I'm totally lost ? Please excuse my bad English and let me know if more info needed ... Aplion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sealife 22 Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) hi for position of ruin make memorry point where you want it in model and when you name Dampos change here class Ruin1 { simulation = "ruin"; type = "ca\structures\ruins\ruin_01"; position = "Dampos"; intensity = 1; interval = 1; lifeTime = 1; }; for smoke try add (change intensity numbers maybe for results ) intensity = 0.15; See position >> make own position again inn memory lod position = "destructionEffect1"; class Smoke1 { simulation = "particles"; type = "HouseDestructionSmoke"; position = "destructionEffect1"; intensity = 0.15; interval = 1; lifeTime = 0.05; }; class Smoke2 : Smoke1 { type = "HouseDestructionSmoke2"; }; class Smoke3 : Smoke1 { type = "HouseDestructionSmoke3"; }; class Smoke4 : Smoke1 { type = "HouseDestructionSmoke4"; }; class Smoke5 : Smoke1 { type = "HouseDestrSmokeLong"; }; this may help a little , different damage but somethings about config in there http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?129935-Example-of-Damage-to-Model Edited February 17, 2012 by Thromp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Αplion 1122 Posted February 17, 2012 Thanks Thromp ... I'll give it a try and I'll come back with results ... ---------- Post added at 16:21 ---------- Previous post was at 15:58 ---------- Thromp ... regarding this ... class Smoke1{ simulation = "particles"; type = "HouseDestructionSmoke"; position = "destructionEffect1"; intensity = 0.15; interval = 1; lifeTime = 0.05; }; class Smoke2 : Smoke1 { type = "HouseDestructionSmoke2"; }; class Smoke3 : Smoke1 { type = "HouseDestructionSmoke3"; }; class Smoke4 : Smoke1 { type = "HouseDestructionSmoke4"; }; class Smoke5 : Smoke1 { type = "HouseDestrSmokeLong"; }; Where I must place it ... in "class DestructionEffects" instead of mine or in "class DestructionEffects : DestructionEffects" of my building ?

Sealife 22 Posted February 17, 2012 cant really copy paste and see everything here, it should go in your Base destructioneffects inside if you want all to inherit from it yes or if you just want one Particular building then inside its own Destrcutioneffects{ class Ruin1 { simulation = "ruin"; type = "ca\structures\ruins\ruin_01"; position = ""; intensity = 1; interval = 1; lifeTime = 1; }; class Smoke1 { simulation = "particles"; type = "HouseDestructionSmoke"; position = "destructionEffect1"; intensity = 0.15; interval = 1; lifeTime = 0.05; }; class Smoke2 : Smoke1 { type = "HouseDestructionSmoke2"; }; class Smoke3 : Smoke1 { type = "HouseDestructionSmoke3"; }; class Smoke4 : Smoke1 { type = "HouseDestructionSmoke4"; }; class Smoke5 : Smoke1 { type = "HouseDestrSmokeLong"; }; }; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Αplion 1122 Posted February 17, 2012 I think I did that but ... class CfgPatches { class APLION_Buildings { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.0; requiredAddons[] = {"CABuildings","CABuildings2","CAData"}; }; }; class CfgVehicleClasses { class APLION_BuildingsVehicleClass { displayName = "ApLion Houses "; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class HouseBase; class House: HouseBase { class DestructionEffects; }; class All; class Ruins; class APLION_Base_Object : House { scope = 0; side = 3; icon = "iconStaticObject"; nameSound = "object"; simulation = "house"; picture = "pictureStaticObject"; model=""; sound = "Building"; placement = "vertical"; ladders[] = {}; vehicleClass = ""; displayName = ""; coefInside = 1; coefInsideHeur = 0.25; mapSize = 7.5; animated = 1; armor = 300; destrType = "DestructBuilding"; damageResistance = 0.004; class DestructionEffects { class Smoke1 { simulation = "particles"; type = "HouseDestructionSmoke"; position = "destructionEffect1"; intensity = 0.15; interval = 1; lifeTime = 0.05; }; class Smoke2 : Smoke1 { type = "HouseDestructionSmoke2"; }; class Smoke3 : Smoke1 { type = "HouseDestructionSmoke3"; }; class Smoke4 : Smoke1 { type = "HouseDestructionSmoke4"; }; class Smoke5 : Smoke1 { type = "HouseDestrSmokeLong"; }; class DestroyPhase1 { simulation = "destroy"; type = "DelayedDestruction"; lifeTime = 2.5; position = ""; intensity = 1; interval = 1; }; class DamageAround1 { simulation = "damageAround"; type = "DamageAroundHouse"; position = ""; intensity = 1; interval = 1; lifeTime = 1; }; }; }; class APLION_Housebase : APLION_Base_Object { scope = 1; model = ""; icon = ""; displayName = ""; animated = 1; vehicleClass = "APLION_BuildingsVehicleClass"; nameSound = "house"; accuracy = 0.2; typicalCargo[] = {}; transportAmmo = 0; transportRepair = 0; transportFuel = 0; mapSize = 11; cost = 0; armor = 800; /*extern*/ class DestructionEffects; }; class Land_build2: APLION_Housebase { model = "APLION_buildings\Build1\build2.p3d"; displayName = "Diorofo #1"; nameSound = ""; mapSize = 8; icon = "iconStaticObject"; accuracy = 1000; armor = 200; position = "vertical"; destrType = "DestructBuilding"; scope = 2; class DestructionEffects : DestructionEffects { class Ruin1 { simulation = "ruin"; type = "ca\structures\ruins\ruin_01"; position = "Dampos"; intensity = 1; interval = 1; lifeTime = 1; }; class Dust { simulation = "particles"; type = "ExploRocks"; position = "piece_1"; intensity = 0.1; interval = 0.01; lifeTime = 0.01; size = 5; }; class Dust2 : Dust { simulation = "particles"; type = "ExploRocks"; position = "piece_1"; intensity = 0.1; interval = 0.01; lifeTime = 0.01; size = 3; }; }; class Hitglass { armor = 0.0005; material = -1; name = "tzamia"; visual = ""; passThrough = 0; convexComponent = "tzamia"; }; class AnimationSources { class door_button1 { source = "user"; animPeriod = 1.5; initPhase = 0; }; class door_button2 { source = "user"; animPeriod = 1.5; initPhase = 0; }; }; class UserActions { class Open_door { displayName="Open Door"; onlyforplayer = 0; position="door_button1"; radius=2; condition="this animationPhase ""door_button1"" < 0.5"; statement="this animate [""door_button1"", 1]"; }; class Close_Door : Open_door { displayName="Close Door"; condition="this animationPhase ""door_button1"" >= 0.5"; statement="this animate [""door_button1"", 0]"; }; class Open_door2 { displayName="Open Door"; onlyforplayer = 0; position="door_button2"; radius=2; condition="this animationPhase ""door_button2"" < 0.5"; statement="this animate [""door_button2"", 1]"; }; class Close_Door2 : Open_door2 { displayName="Close Door"; condition="this animationPhase ""door_button2"" >= 0.5"; statement="this animate [""door_button2"", 0]"; }; }; }; }; ... first of all ... not much changed regarding dust effects ... and ... even if I have placed a memory point (in my memory lod into the center of the building) ... the ruins model is still outplaced (original position).

Sealife 22 Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) hmm if your using a bis ruin then maybe it is offset for original building purpose, for this you will have to move your memory dampos to compensate so it will become in right place . here is file mate 3 very smal building house 1 is smoke as i put before house 2 last a little longer , as you can see i have altered intensity and lifetime in config of house2 house 3 more so im sure there is little mistake but ask any questions. will be in empty/thromp_houses/ 1 and 2 ,3 took me longer to find a host that didnt take 3 hours to verify :( file http://www.sendspace.com/file/3w7mca Edited February 17, 2012 by Thromp updated link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Αplion 1122 Posted February 18, 2012 Thromp thanks a lot mate and sorry for late reply ... I'll make some tests and I'll come back with results. ---------- Post added at 12:35 ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 ---------- ok I've made some tests and now I have the smoke I want so thank you very much again Thromp ... but regardless any movement I've made to the Dampos memory point in order to compensate the offset position of the ruins model, nothing changed ... is there any change to be locked in position somehow by default ? Also if its possible I would like to ask a way (except smoke) to produce some fire upon building destruction ... is it possible ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Αplion 1122 Posted February 18, 2012 Well problems are never end ... as I said thanks to Thromp I have the amount of smoke destruction effect I want ... so I decided to build my own ruin instead using one of BIS defaults ... I made the p3d and according (at least I believe) Thromp example I've tried to make it work ... but no !! ... my ruin model is not showing when my building falling down !! ... I can't figured out what I'm doing wrong so for one more time I'm giving the config I use ... class CfgPatches { class APLION_Buildings { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 1.0; requiredAddons[] = {"CABuildings","CABuildings2","CAData"}; }; }; class CfgVehicleClasses { class APLION_BuildingsRuinsClass { displayName = "Aplion Ruins"; }; class APLION_BuildingsVehicleClass { displayName = "ApLion Houses "; }; }; class CfgVehicles { class HouseBase; class House: HouseBase { class DestructionEffects; }; class All; class Ruins; class Land_build2_ruin: Ruins { scope = protected; vehicleClass = "Ruins"; model = "APLION_buildings\build1\ruins\build2_ruin"; displayName = "MyRuins1"; }; class APLION_Base_Object : House { scope = 0; side = 3; icon = "iconStaticObject"; nameSound = "object"; simulation = "house"; picture = "pictureStaticObject"; model=""; sound = "Building"; placement = "vertical"; ladders[] = {}; vehicleClass = ""; displayName = ""; coefInside = 1; coefInsideHeur = 0.25; mapSize = 7.5; animated = 1; armor = 300; destrType = "DestructBuilding"; damageResistance = 0.004; class DestructionEffects { class Smoke1 { simulation = "particles"; type = "HouseDestructionSmoke"; position = "destructionEffect1"; intensity = 0.15; interval = 1; lifeTime = 0.10; }; class Smoke2 : Smoke1 { type = "HouseDestructionSmoke2"; }; class Smoke3 : Smoke1 { type = "HouseDestructionSmoke3"; }; class Smoke4 : Smoke1 { type = "HouseDestructionSmoke4"; }; class Smoke5 : Smoke1 { type = "HouseDestrSmokeLong"; }; class DestroyPhase1 { simulation = "destroy"; type = "DelayedDestruction"; lifeTime = 0.5; position = ""; intensity = 1; interval = 1; }; class DamageAround1 { simulation = "damageAround"; type = "DamageAroundHouse"; position = ""; intensity = 1; interval = 1; lifeTime = 1; }; }; }; class APLION_Housebase : APLION_Base_Object { scope = 1; model = ""; icon = ""; displayName = ""; animated = 1; vehicleClass = "APLION_BuildingsVehicleClass"; nameSound = "house"; accuracy = 0.2; typicalCargo[] = {}; transportAmmo = 0; transportRepair = 0; transportFuel = 0; mapSize = 11; cost = 0; armor = 800; /*extern*/ class DestructionEffects; }; class Land_build2: APLION_Housebase { model = "APLION_buildings\Build1\build2.p3d"; displayName = "Diorofo #1"; nameSound = ""; mapSize = 8; icon = "iconStaticObject"; accuracy = 1000; armor = 200; position = "vertical"; destrType = "DestructBuilding"; scope = 2; class DestructionEffects : DestructionEffects { class Ruin1 { simulation = "ruin"; /*type = "ca\structures\ruins\ruin_01"; */ type = "APLION_buildings\build1\ruins\build2_ruin"; position = "Dampos"; intensity = 1; interval = 1; lifeTime = 1; }; }; class Hitglass { armor = 0.0005; material = -1; name = "tzamia"; visual = ""; passThrough = 0; convexComponent = "tzamia"; }; class AnimationSources { class door_button1 { source = "user"; animPeriod = 1.5; initPhase = 0; }; class door_button2 { source = "user"; animPeriod = 1.5; initPhase = 0; }; }; class UserActions { class Open_door { displayName="Open Door"; onlyforplayer = 0; position="door_button1"; radius=2; condition="this animationPhase ""door_button1"" < 0.5"; statement="this animate [""door_button1"", 1]"; }; class Close_Door : Open_door { displayName="Close Door"; condition="this animationPhase ""door_button1"" >= 0.5"; statement="this animate [""door_button1"", 0]"; }; class Open_door2 { displayName="Open Door"; onlyforplayer = 0; position="door_button2"; radius=2; condition="this animationPhase ""door_button2"" < 0.5"; statement="this animate [""door_button2"", 1]"; }; class Close_Door2 : Open_door2 { displayName="Close Door"; condition="this animationPhase ""door_button2"" >= 0.5"; statement="this animate [""door_button2"", 0]"; }; }; }; }; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sealife 22 Posted February 18, 2012 you can simply use my config if you wish and rename apilon look in arma.rpt it will show you exact erro , it might just be simple path error mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Αplion 1122 Posted February 18, 2012 But Thromp have a better look ... I have already defined ... class Ruins; class Land_build2_ruin: Ruins { scope = protected; vehicleClass = "Ruins"; model = "APLION_buildings\build1\ruins\build2_ruin"; displayName = "MyRuins1"; }; and after that in my model ... class DestructionEffects : DestructionEffects{ class Ruin1 { simulation = "ruin"; /*type = "ca\structures\ruins\ruin_01"; */ type = "APLION_buildings\build1\ruins\build2_ruin"; position = "Dampos"; intensity = 1; interval = 1; lifeTime = 1; }; }; isn't enough ? or I missed something ?

Sealife 22 Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) sorry mate didnt see on ipad , on pc now :) check arma.rpt after blow house and then show here what it says only thing i see is this class HouseBase;class House: HouseBase { class DestructionEffects; }; class All; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< hmmm class Ruins; class all would come before house so you are maybe changiung inheritance and lose something , wild guess try like this class HouseBase; // External class reference class House : HouseBase { class DestructionEffects; // External class reference }; class Ruins; // External class reference Edited February 18, 2012 by Thromp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sealife 22 Posted February 18, 2012 :) well beacuse of this here class APLION_Housebase : APLION_Base_Object {scope = 1; model = ""; icon = ""; displayName = ""; animated = 1; vehicleClass = "APLION_BuildingsVehicleClass"; nameSound = "house"; accuracy = 0.2; typicalCargo[] = {}; transportAmmo = 0; transportRepair = 0; transportFuel = 0; mapSize = 11; cost = 0; armor = 800; /*extern*/ class DestructionEffects; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< here }; you creating new destructioneffects thats empty when you then do this (i think ) , my example works and its all i can see different you see from my config.

Αplion 1122 Posted February 18, 2012 Now this is funny ... I've change the class DestructionEffects; with class DestructionEffects {}; .... now I have no errors in RPT but my building is not collapsing anymore !! strange !! ---------- Post added at 16:05 ---------- Previous post was at 15:57 ---------- UPDATE ...

Sealife 22 Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) well its almost 1 year since i even opend this game so , i also learned something incase i get bored flying Helicopters :) oh and for fire : class Sound { simulation = "sound"; type = "Fire"; position = "destructionEffect1"; intensity = 0.15; interval = 1; lifeTime = 3; }; class Fire1 { simulation = "particles"; type = "ObjectDestructionFire1"; position = "destructionEffect1"; intensity = 0.15; interval = 1; lifeTime = 3; }; class Fire2 { simulation = "particles"; type = "ObjectDestructionFire1"; position = "destructionEffect1"; intensity = 0.15; interval = 1; lifeTime = 3; }; but becareful remember original arma LAGGG with destrucion ;) , find happy place if you can Edited February 18, 2012 by Thromp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
