sliding door or a building

[mike44 1]

Hi All,

I'm pretty new to this and need some help making a sliding door on a building. The building has 8 regular rotating doors which I have working fine, but I can't get the sliding one to work. Can someone tell me what I need to do to my conifigs to get it to work? The door has a named selection barndoor in 1.0 LOD, Geometry LOD and Memory LOD. Also in memory LOD is barndoor_axis and barndoor_ap. My configs are pasted below. Thanks for your help!

model.cfg

class CfgSkeletons											// Delare super class.
{
class Default;											// Declare the parent class to inherit from on the next line .
class barndoor_slide : Default							// Add a new classname and specify a parent class to inherit from.
{
	skeletonInherit = "Default";							// Repeat the parent class from above, inherit the parent class skeleton.
	skeletonBones[] =									// Define new bones here.
	{
		"barndoor",""									// New bone, pattern is "child","parent",
	};
};
};

class CfgModels
{
class Building_9D;
class dos_UB_Bldg_25and26: Building_9D {};  //place your .p3D model name (without extension) in place of bia_watertank
{
	skeletonName="barndoor_slide";						// Which skeleton to use, as defined in the super class CfgSkeletons. 
	class Animations									// Define new animations within this class.
	{
		class barndoor_open								// The class name of the animation.
		{
			type="translation";
			source="barndoor_open";						//animation type translation -- it uses the distance/vector between two memory points
			selection="barndoor";			//named selection in model, and bone in skeleton
			axis="barndoor_axis";			//two memory points in memory LOD, the distance between should match the desired translation distance
			memory=1;							//look in the memory LOD for the axis points, should always be 1
			minValue="0";							//this animation starts when the source is at 0
			maxValue="1";							//this animation ends when the source is at 1
			offset0=0;							//this animation starts relative to the position of the first memory point
			offset1=1;							//this animation ends relative to the position of the second memory point (if the mem points are 1m apart, the animation moves 1m)
		};
	};
};
};

It looks like you are working in VBS2 not ArmA2. You might have more success over on the BISim forums - https://forums.bisimulations.com

If you are trying to get it working in ArmA2 - then the fact you are inheriting from the VBS base classes that dont exist in ArmA2 isnt going to help.

[mike44 1]

I am working with VBS2 but I can't get any to help over there so I thought I would try over here

class barndoor_open >>>>>>>// The class name of the animation.

{

your animating wrong class in cpp i think

statement = "this animate [""gate_open"", 1]";

try change all your gate_open reference in config.cpp to barndoor_open

or vice versal to Model,cfg, i think also you may need to define sources but as other say, with VBS2 you pay so much for support i think with license so this is really a place for Game Only advice :) or way me ask for a Pay Pal Button ;)

[rksl-rock 1301]

You have to animate the bone, not the class name.

Bone = barndoor as defined in the cfgSkeletons

Classname = barndoor_open will do nothing Nor will animating an animation source. eg "source="barndoor_open";"

So the correct statement in your user action would be:

statement = "this animate [""barndoor"", 1]";

thanks guys! I'll give that a shot and let you know how it turns out.

I tried making those changes and its still not working. If anyone has any ideas please let me know, I really need to get this figured out.

model.cfg

Closed your class early.

class dos_UB_Bldg_25and26: Building_8D_AP_Closed {};

Correct

class dos_UB_Bldg_25and26: Building_8D_AP_Closed {

Config.cpp

Both actions are animating "1"
