missile config - cmImmunity

[eggbeast 3685]

this is quite useful

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Detection

but doesn't explain what irtarget does - i guess it enables an irlock?

then this

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/CfgAmmo_Config_Reference

and this

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/OA:Config_Changes#CfgAmmo

don't help really, so

can anyone explain what the following do and how the values affect missile behaviour?

- man i'm confused - anyone know how this all works?

*bump

can anyone shed any light at all on missile and bomb locking behaviour?

As far as I can see it works like this:

WEAPON:

weaponLockDelay

set the time in seconds that the locking acquisition plays for before the lock (and tone) kicks in

canLock

0 = never lock

1 = lock only if autoGuideAT=1 (e.g. in recruit profile)

2 = lock regardless of autoGuideAT profile value

AMMO:

cmImmunity

seems to affect the ability of targets to spoof missile with countermeasures: is 0.8 and 80% chance to hit or to miss?

weaponLockSystem

seems to affect the lock type?

"16 + 2" - AA missile - can lock IR and air? (why is javelin set to this?)

"16 + 4" - AT missile - can lock both IR and laser?

"16 + 1" - AT missile - can lock only IR

irLock

enabled with weapon having canlock =1 for recruit profile or canlock =2 for all profiles

0 = never lock IR target

1 = lock only if vehicle is defined with irTarget = true; e.g. tank

airLock

enabled with weapon having canlock =1 for recruit profile or canlock =2 for all profiles

0 = never lock AIR target

1 = lock only if vehicle is defined with AirTarget = true; e.g. plane

LaserLock

enabled with weapon having canlock =1 for recruit profile or canlock =2 for all profiles

0 = never lock Lasertarget

1 = lock only if vehicle is defined with laserTarget = true;

e.g. a designated LD target or else some kind of practise drone or scripted change in a mission to enable a building to be targeted etc

nvLock

1 = allow locking with nightvision on?

VEHICLE:

laserScanner = 1;

Allows vehicle to see laser targets on radar?

e.g. on Su34 / ka52

radarType

4 - shows airtargets and irtargets on radar (and enables locks and incomingmissiles to be shown if other settings correct)

LockDetectionSystem

manages the flashing icon on radar and sound heard when your vehicle is locked by an airlock or IRlock missile

what do the values mean?

example values:

"8 + 4" - e.g. AW159_Lynx_BAF

8 - e.g. C130J

1118208 - e.g. BAF_Merlin_HC3_D

2 - e.g. CH47_base_EP1

IncommingMisslieDetectionSystem

manages playing of sound and shows incoming missile on radar

0 - off e.g. UH60

16 - on e.g. AH64_US_EP1

lockingTargetSound[] = {"\ca\Tracked\Data\Sound\alarm_loop1",0.000316228, 2};

lockedTargetSound[] = {"\ca\Tracked\Data\Sound\alarm_loop1",0.000316228, 6};

the sound combo you get when you're acquiring and holding lock on a target using a qualified weapon

i.e.

autoGuideAT=1 profile + canlock=1 weapon + IRlock=1 ammo + IRtarget=true vehicle

canlock=2 weapon + IRlock=1 ammo + IRtarget=true vehicle

canlock=2 weapon + AIRlock=1 ammo + AIRtarget=true vehicle

canlock=2 weapon + laserlock=1 ammo + lasertarget=true vehicle

soundLocked[] = {"\ca\Tracked\Data\Sound\alarm_loop1",0.00031622776,2};

soundIncommingMissile[] = {"\ca\Tracked\Data\Sound\alarm_loop1",0.00031622776,4};

the sound combo you get when your vehicle is locked by an enemy weapon and then when an incoming missile is tracking you (e.g. warning you to use countermeasures/ evasive movement)

can anyone offer any more clarity to this or any corrections? would be good to transpose it to the relevant wikis in due course

that's awesome kju thanks mate

do you know what this means?

weaponLockSystem = "16 + 4";

[.kju 3245]

Maybe also missile type

[eggbeast 3685]

is it remotely possible to add a weapon to a turret?

e.g.

with a cobra that has ffars in pilot turret (-1) and guns in gunner turret (0)

_vec addMagazine "4000Rnd_762x51_M134";

_vec addweapon "uns_M134";

_vec addMagazineTurret ["uns_28Rnd_FFAR",[-1]];

_vec addWeaponTurret ["uns_FFARlauncher",[-1]];-----------------> I made up "addWeaponTurret" as example - it does not exist

_vec addMagazine "uns_AIM9Ex4";

_vec addweapon "uns_AIM9ELauncher";

in this example it does work, because:

a) i used removeallweapons _vec at the start andit DID NOT remove the uns_ffarlauncher already configged in turret -1.

now if i try to change the type of ffarlauncher, we have problems. because adding the weapon to vehicle with addweapon it only goes into the gunner seat. in the case above where the ffar mag is added to the pilot turret, the weapon appears in gunner seat as empty.

this is really screwy - how come we have addmagazineturret but no addweaponturret?
