Static Barrier Config

[Richards.D 761]

Hello gentlemen:

After making a tutorial addon, I decided I would try and make something with some mild useful-ness. I built and textured a TBarrier. When I put it in game as classed as "Thing" although it weighed over 2000KG any car, or even bullets could knock it over, and push it. I need it so it does not move at all, and can take substantial punishment before falling over. I tried this on my config, but to no avail. I cannot find it anywhere in the editor under this setting.

class CfgPatches
{
   class DAR_Wall
   {
       units[] = {"DAR_Wall"};
       weapons[] = {};
       requiredVersion = 0.1;
       requiredAddons[] = {"CAData"};
   };
};
class CfgVehicles
{
   class Static;
   class DAR_Wall: Static
   {
       scope = 2;
       displayName = "TBarrier Wall";
       model = "\DAR_TBar\DAR_TBar.p3d";
       armor = 200000;
   };
}; 

Thank you.

destrType = "DestructNo"; (no damage) or

destrType = "DestructBuilding"; (then you can see the black dots, if the bulletts hit your target

and i mean you have to do

class CfgVehicles
{
   class Static;
   class [color="#FF0000"]Land_[/color]DAR_Wall: Static 
....
};

And dont forget to set a "mass" in the geo-lod!! How to do look here: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Mondkalb%27s_Addon_Tutorial#Geometry_LOD:

Hello, and thank you for the response. I set a mass of like.. 10k kgs in the Geo LOD while making, didn't seem to make a difference. I shall try this solution and see how it works.

Alright.. I've taken a slightly different direction with the config, and although I incorporated your fixes, I STILL cannot find the silly thing in the editor!! :mad:

Posting config again..

class CfgPatches {
   class dar_objects {
       units[] = {"DAR_Wall"};
       weapons[] = {""};

   };
};

class cfgVehicleClasses {
class dar_objects {
	displayName = "DAR Objects";
};
};

class CfgVehicles {
   class House;

class DAR_Wall: House {
vehicleClass = "dar_objects";
accuracy = 0.2;	// accuracy needed to recognize type of this target
scope = public;
simulation = "House";
camouflage = 10;	// how dificult to spot - bigger - better spotable
Audible = 10;	// audible - bigger - better heard
mapSize = 0.2;
cost = 1000;

       // threat (VSoft, VArmor, VAir), how threatening vehicle is to unit types
threat[] = {1, 1, 1};

       armor = 5000;
irtarget = false;
destrType = "DestructNo";
lasertarget = false;
side = TCivilian;
displayName = "T Barrier";
animated = false;
model = "\dar_objects\DAR_TBar.p3d";
   };
};

Change it to

class CfgVehicleClasses {

class dar_objectsVehicleClass {

displayName = "DAR Objects";

};

{

class house; //loading the basics

class Land_DAR_Wall : House

{

vehilceClass = "dar_objects"; // that shows the defined name in cfgvehilceclass >> DAR Objects<<

model="xxx\xxx\dar_wall.p3d"; // thats the folder to your model

display = "DAR Wall"; // that shows you DAR WALL if you have open DAR Objects

...

};

So, like this?

class Land_DAR_Wall: House {
vehicleClass = "dar_objects";

(Omitted rest of config above and below line 18)

that shows the defined name in cfgvehilceclass

wait,, what? I need to define this custom or something?

How does this look?

class CfgPatches {
   class dar_objects {
       units[] = {"DAR_Wall"};
       weapons[] = {""};

   };
};

class CfgVehicleClasses {
class dar_objectsVehicleClass {
displayName = "DAR Objects";
};
};

{
class house; //loading the basics
class Land_DAR_Wall : House
{
vehilceClass = "dar_objects"; // that shows the defined name in cfgvehilceclass >> DAR Objects<<
model="xxx\xxx\dar_wall.p3d"; // thats the folder to your model
display = "DAR Wall"; // that shows you DAR WALL if you have open DAR Objects

};
};

class CfgVehicles {
   class House;

class DAR_Wall: House {
vehicleClass = "dar_objects";
accuracy = 0.2;	// accuracy needed to recognize type of this target
scope = public;
simulation = "House";
camouflage = 10;	// how dificult to spot - bigger - better spotable
Audible = 10;	// audible - bigger - better heard
mapSize = 0.2;
cost = 1000;

       // threat (VSoft, VArmor, VAir), how threatening vehicle is to unit types
threat[] = {1, 1, 1};

       armor = 5000;
irtarget = false;
destrType = "DestructNo";
lasertarget = false;
side = TCivilian;
displayName = "T Barrier";
animated = false;
model = "\dar_objects\DAR_TBar.p3d";
   };
};

Try this

class CfgPatches
{
class dar_objects
{
	units[] = {"DAR_Wall"};
	weapons[] = {};
	requiredVersion = 0.1;
	requiredAddons[] = {"CAData"};
};
};

class CfgVehicleClasses
{
class dar_objects
{
	displayName = "DAR Objects";
};
};

class CfgVehicles
{
class House;
class DAR_Wall: House//Wall
{
	scope = 2;
	displayName = "T Barrier";
	vehicleClass = "dar_objects";
	model = "\dar_objects\DAR_TBar.p3d";
	mapSize = 0.2;
	cost = 1000;
	armor = 5000;
	destrType = "DestructNo";
};
};

Thank you both for the assistance!

I'm currently putting the final finishes on my first addon.. Once I figure out how to make keys I will distribute my first addon!

I'll get some photos soon..

Q's example is nearly 100% correct. Please, always when you create objects, use the LAND_ tag, it will make it easier for terrain makers to use your objects if they wish to.

    class land_DAR_TBar: House//Wall 
   { 
       scope = 2; 
       displayName = "T Barrier"; 
       vehicleClass = "dar_objects"; 
       model = "\dar_objects\DAR_TBar.p3d"; 
       mapSize = 0.2; 
       cost = 1000; 
       armor = 5000; 
       destrType = "DestructNo"; 
   };

That's it.

To recap, use "LAND_" and then suffix it with your .p3d's name, but without the .p3d extension.
