Weapon attachments not working, bullets firing incorrectly

skelebob9 · March 16, 2013

I'm fairly new to using O2, so I'm probably doing something blatantly obvious. However, I've been checking all day for tutorials on how to create proxies properly however the only tutorials that I thought would be relevant are just forward-porting ArmA 2 to ArmA 3 which say "do the same that you do in ArmA 2". I've looked through the forums both here and at Armaholic and neither have helped me.

Basically, I go ingame and any variation of my weapon just doesn't support attachments.

class CowsSlot : SlotInfo
{
	// targetProxy
	linkProxy = "\A3\data_f\proxies\weapon_slots\TOP";

	// display name
	displayName = $STR_A3_CowsSlot0;

	// class names with items supported by weapon 
	compatibleItems[] = {"optic_Arco","optic_aco", "optic_ACO_grn","optic_hamr","optic_Holosight", "optic_Nightstalker"};
};

I can't add any attachments to my weapon, it's just red. I even tried the following:

class L85A2_holo: L85A2_irn
{
	class LinkedItems
	{
		class LinkedItemsOptic
		{
			slot = "CowsSlot";
			item = "optic_HoloSight";
		};
	};
};

Like I said, I couldn't find any help on creating the proxies, so I tried to do it myself:

I tried resizing, rotating and even doing nothing to the triangles, but nothing has worked. Attachments are still unable to be attached and when I try to attach them in the config.cpp they don't show up. My proxy paths are \A3\data_f\proxies\weapon_slots\TOP and \a3\data_f\proxies\weapon_slots\muzzle, both are where the attachments should be (I think).

My second problem is aiming and then the actual firing of my gun. When I aim, I just get my hand while when I fire, dust comes from the ground below the centre of my character, no matter my stance, and my bullets are fired at a 90-degree angle to where I'm aiming.

Does anyone know a solution to either of my problems?

I've already fixed the positioning of the weapon, but the way I did it is probably the reason for the gun firing at my right.

Try this, or something like this. You've done your's strangely. For the aiming, you need two points, usti hlavne, and konec hlavne. Konec where you want the bullet to start from, and usti where you want it to exit. Put them in a straight line. Also add another point called "eye". This is where your eye would be if you were aiming the gun. You can then put "memorypointcamera = "eye";" into your config.cpp under your guns class.

I haven't tried attachments yet, so I can't help you there. But I assume all the info is on the biki.

class CfgSkeletons
{
class Default
{
	isDiscrete=1;
	skeletonInherit="";
	skeletonBones[]={};
};
class L85A2Skeleton: Default
{
	skeletonInherit="Default";

};

       sectionsInherit="";
       sections[] = {};
       skeletonName = "";
   };

	sectionsInherit="Default";
	sections[]=	{ "zasleh" };
	skeletonName="L85A2Skeletonl";

I tried adding the eye point and both bullet points, named the selections appropriately and adding "memorypointcamera = "eye";" to my weapon config in both the base and the individual weapons, the aiming still didn't work and neither did firing the bullets. Your model cfg did not help the problem, either. Do you have any other suggestions? And thanks for helping.

whereisbeef · March 3, 2007

Can you upload your model anywhere so I can look and see what your problem is?

skelebob9 · March 16, 2013

Sure, here you go:

mediafire.com/?oqqu2j1tm8zbfr0

whereisbeef · March 3, 2007

Ok, your problem is easy to see. You only have a viewdistance LOD, which is only seen in third person. You need a view pilot LOD, which is your first person model, and a memory LOD, which tells the game where certain things are on the gun. Memory LOD is where you put the Eye, Konec Hlavne, and Usti Hlavne.

skelebob9 · March 16, 2013

Great, the aiming and the firing works now, the only problem is the view pilot LOD; how should I add it in? I tried simply copy/pasting the first LOD into the new one, and it just crashes on startup. Is there anything specific I need to do?

whereisbeef · March 3, 2007

Not really. Just copy the model over to the new lod, it should work fine.

skelebob9 · March 16, 2013

Alright, I just copied it over to the pilot view LOD with no change ingame, if there was supposed to be one. Either way, it nearly works completely now, so thank you!

If anyone has any solutions for attachments not being usable, I'd appreciate the help.

whereisbeef · March 3, 2007

Look at the configs for guns that have been released already. That is the best way to figure out how things work.

skelebob9 · March 16, 2013

I've looked at the configs, it's just the actual model I need help with now. I don't know whether my attachments should be in the view LODs or the Memory LOD or anything, I've even tried copy/pasting a config and changing the model to my own for a 'sure-fire' way of getting it to work, and it still didn't so it's obviously something with my model.

whereisbeef · March 3, 2007

They need to be in the view lods.

skelebob9 · March 16, 2013

Alright, thanks, I'll play around with it for a while and try to get it to work. Thanks again.
