zooloo75 834 Posted June 24, 2014 zooloo the mod for me seems to work better with TMR disabled.Would you consider making a version for third person and activating the peak by zooming? Dont know if you ever played a game called the sabotuer,but its peak mechanic made it great third person game. Would be useful to alot of people ;) I'll look into detecting if the player is zooming in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miketim 20 Posted June 24, 2014 This will probably go well with the bootcamp CQB stuff, those weird tron-metal gear solid environment VR things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tortuosit 486 Posted June 24, 2014 I'm testing with vanilla + your mod now. In crouch position, my character does not step to the sides. When standing full, sometime it does not, sometimes it does step left or right. But also I have seen it stepping to the wrong side very often. I was testing here at the sand walls(Camera Params): ["Stratis",[2059.61,5819.14,2.00144],150.8,0.7,[-89.9,89.9773],0,0,721.015,0.3,0] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zooloo75 834 Posted June 24, 2014 Keeping note to myself: Fix bug in MP-environment where system doesn't hook to player upon respawn. Add respawn EH. ---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ---------- I'm testing with vanilla + your mod now.

My mod favors the right side over the left side. When I encounter this ingame, I just lean left on my own before aiming down sights. Hopefully I can come up with a solution to this. Another addition I am planning on adding (as one could probably tell from my code) is exposing above from cover, as opposed to just horizontal adjustments.

surfer 42 Posted June 24, 2014 Exactly. The biggest point of the mod is to remove the need to use keypresses. Maybe you can compromise to set it on a key which is LMB by default? Having stuff modular is always better, isn't it? This way you could also lob grenades or flashbangs. And being able to move while peeking is super important. Enough begging :p Thanks again!

katipo66 94 Posted June 24, 2014 Another addition I am planning on adding (as one could probably tell from my code) is exposing above from cover, as opposed to just horizontal adjustments. I was wondering why it wasn't already an option and thought it's not possible because the character would need some sort of fluid animation unless it just uses the closest stance depending on object, anyway that would be a nice addition.

zooloo75 834 Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) I was wondering why it wasn't already an option and thought it's not possible because the character would need some sort of fluid animation unless it just uses the closest stance depending on object, anyway that would be a nice addition. The "above" lineIntersects check was returning true every time, despite it being clear, causing the above state to never activate. I didn't code in the above exposure due to this issue. Hopefully things work out better tonight. Regarding the animation for the above transition, it is simple to add. If the player is crouched (but not at the high-crouch stance) then move to a high-crouch; if the player is at a high-crouch, stand; if the player is standing, do a high stand. If the player is upside down, then ALT-F4. Edited June 24, 2014 by zooloo75 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katipo66 94 Posted June 24, 2014 Ok nice! look forward to seeing it in action, I'm all thumbs when trying to get right stance related to height of an object, especially when I'm shot at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakeryan760 10 Posted June 24, 2014 Same here, it's very spotty and temperamental. I've had it to where he leans into cover instead of out of cover, even off of an object he will lock movement and lean into the object. One of the biggest frustrations is not being able to unlock the player when moving. I've even came out of zoom an the player was locked and I could not move until I did something weird like reload. This is a very cool mod and I hope you refine it well. I know you said you're going to update it so I will keep checking on it. My advice, unlock with movement, fix small bugs like ones stated, and refine it a bit more. 3rd person and 1st person with zoom with be cool too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The bugs where you get locked into place when popping out of cover is engine-related. In other words, it's an ArmA bug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phantom Six 25 Posted June 25, 2014 I saw people mentioning BF4 so often in the beginning of the thread.... I wouldn't say this is copying BF4... Red Orchestra 2 was the where I first saw this kind of cover system where you take cover if you're close to a wall -_- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zooloo75 834 Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Good news everyone: My good friend, BadBenson has given me some big help with how lineIntersects works. In result, the cover detection and exposure positions are calculated much more accurately, also allowing the player to take cover in interiors! Expect an update some time tonight after I finish coding in the above-exposure stances. ---------- Post added at 01:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 AM ---------- Release is imminent!

sttosin 67 Posted June 25, 2014 Zooloo75 you are making an impression....good work. Can't wait to try this. At this pace we may need such a thing as Zoooloo75_mods kinda like tpw_mods.
