Mattar_Tharkari 10 Posted April 4, 2013 The marine content in A3 looks very impressive but I think how we interact with it needs some work. 1. I park my boat at the docks. How do I get from the boat onto the dock? 2. How do I get into a boat parked in at the dock? 3. We are at sea, boat A is damaged so we all want to get in boat B which is along side. How do we do that? 4. I fall in the sea, how do I get out of the sea into the boat (scroll menu doesn't work if you are in the water)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harzach 2517 Posted April 4, 2013 Scroll menu in all cases. If it isn't working, you aren't in the right spot. To be fair, it seems pretty finicky when you are in the water. Keep trying! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattar_Tharkari 10 Posted April 4, 2013 It does seem to be working better since I did a full test but getting from boat to boat and from boat to dock still requires a swim? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harzach 2517 Posted April 4, 2013 It does seem to be working better since I did a full test but getting from boat to boat and from boat to dock still requires a swim? If you are lined up correctly, you'll disembark onto the dock. It takes a little trial & error, but it works. I should amend my first post - I'm not sure about boat-to-boat, as I've never tried it.

EDcase 87 Posted April 4, 2013 The embark options are on the left side of the boat. I think when you get out it may be on the left as well so you have to park with that side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakson 1 Posted April 4, 2013 Getting into boats when swimming next to them seems impossible sometimes. Pretty annoying. If there isn't a feedback tracker bug report yet someone ought to make it someday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattar_Tharkari 10 Posted April 4, 2013 I think boats should be designed so you can walk around on them or none of this is going to be very realistic? If we had a jump action - you could then jump from boat onto the dock? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucasmnunesk 2 Posted April 4, 2013 But the problems involved on walking inside vehicles is because the boat would move, and the player wouldn't. At least those where the problems that arma 2 mods had, but if they can it would be cool to go to a close boat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisb 196 Posted April 5, 2013 Always been a little funny this series and boats. It has improved, but it will always be a case of being in the right spot for things to work. Boat to boat, great idea, never needed to use that myself up until now, but would be great now the sea plays a much larger part in the game..:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vasmkd 12 Posted April 5, 2013 I think we need options to get on/off from any side of the boats since in reality u can board a open style boat hull from anywhere. I also have difficulty trying to climb into a boat in A3 atm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old_painless 182 Posted April 5, 2013 Aren't you just supposed to go onboard from the rear, when in the water ? Just like you can't enter a car from the hood, say Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vasmkd 12 Posted April 5, 2013 With many boats the rear would be the better or only option from the water but with things like zodiacs i would say not. It really comes down to the actual boats design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty annoying.If there isn't a feedback tracker bug report yet someone ought to make it someday. I don't know if you have ever tried to climb into a boat in deep water without some help. Its hard. Especially if you are soaking wet and carrying gear. Small boats tend to have low gunwales within easy reach but also have more of a tendency to tip/capsize. Larger boats have higher gunwales can be are hard to reach from the water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The solution would be to move the players unit along with the vehicle he's standing on, detected via collision. If the overall velocity is too high the player could maybe ragdoll.

Yeah, but that's the problem i don't know if the game engine could make the player unit move along with the vehicle, since that's what i've seen modder having problems with Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
