But where do I put all this code?! :confused: :confused:

fnc_pwrotate = {
   private ["_turntable","_holder","_time","_dir"];
   _turntable = createVehicle [
       "Land_Can_V3_F",
       _this select 0,
       [],
       0, 
       "CAN_COLLIDE"
   ];
   _turntable hideObject true;
   _holder = createVehicle [
       "WeaponHolderSimulated",
       _this select 0,
       [],
       0, 
       "CAN_COLLIDE"
   ];
   _holder addWeaponCargoGlobal [_this select 1, 1];
   _holder attachTo [_turntable, [0,-0.63,0.7]];
   _holder setVectorDirAndUp [[0,0,1],[0,-1,0]];
   _time = time + 10;
   _dir = getDir _turntable;
   waitUntil {
       _dir = _dir + (
           if (_dir > 360) then [{-360},{3}]
       );
       _turntable setDir _dir;
       time > _time
   };
   deleteVehicle _holder;
   deleteVehicle _turntable;
};

And

_null = [
   player modelToWorld [0,2,0],
   "arifle_Mk20_ACO_pointer_F"
] spawn fnc_pwrotate;

Anyone familiar with Killzonekid's tutorials?

Plz send help!

Just save this in a .sqf file called weaponrotate.sqf and put it in your mission folder:

_turntable = createVehicle [
       "Land_Can_V3_F",
       _this select 0,
       [],
       0, 
       "CAN_COLLIDE"
   ];
   _turntable hideObject true;
   _holder = createVehicle [
       "WeaponHolderSimulated",
       _this select 0,
       [],
       0, 
       "CAN_COLLIDE"
   ];
   _holder addWeaponCargoGlobal [_this select 1, 1];
   _holder attachTo [_turntable, [0,-0.63,0.7]];
   _holder setVectorDirAndUp [[0,0,1],[0,-1,0]];
   _time = time + 10;
   _dir = getDir _turntable;
   waitUntil {
       _dir = _dir + (
           if (_dir > 360) then [{-360},{3}]
       );
       _turntable setDir _dir;
       time > _time
   };
   deleteVehicle _holder;
   deleteVehicle _turntable;

then call it from a trigger or wherever you want using this:

_nul = [
   player modelToWorld [0,2,0],
   "arifle_Mk20_ACO_pointer_F"
] execVM "weaponrotate.sqf";

that's as basic as it will get ;)

[Yolo Joe 11]

thanks! But the first time I call the script it does not show up.. :confused:

I have to call it 2 times.

[Yolo Joe 11]

Anybody know how I can load a magazine into the rotating weapon?

I tried this, but didn't succseed :(

_mag = "30Rnd_65x39_Caseless_mag"; 
_holder = createVehicle [ "WeaponHolderSimulated", player modelToWorld [0,2,0], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE" ];
_holder addMagazineCargoGlobal [_mag, 1];

[Lala14 135]

I'm guessing your wondering if there is a way to do it to all items?

[Yolo Joe 11]

Yes? How?

[Lala14 135]

Yes? How?

Well what I was thinking of is we could have a while that checks in a radius of the player for GroundWeaponHolder and then change that to a WeaponHolderSimulated and then do that spinning stuff.

[Yolo Joe 11]

We'll, it would be neat, but I'm not God, so I don't know how to do that :P

[Lala14 135]

We'll, it would be neat, but I'm not God, so I don't know how to do that :P

Well I've started to work on it

here is how it is so far. literally a minutes worth of work.

3ditems.sqf

while {true} do {
stuff = position player nearObjects ["groundweaponholder",10];
{
	if ( isNil {_x getVariable "newholder"} ) then {
		_magazines = magazineCargo _x;
		_x setVariable ["magazines",_magazines,true];
		_weapons = weaponCargo _x;
		_x setVariable ["weapons",_weapons,true];
		_items = itemCargo _x;
		_x setVariable ["items",_items,true];
		_holder = createVehicle ["WeaponHolderSimulated", position _x, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
		_x setVariable ["newholder",_holder,true];
	};
}forEach stuff;
sleep 2;
};

i made "stuff" global for me to easily access it in game for now.

anyway so far what it does is get all the stuff there and create the weaponholdersimulated. Now to move all the shit in it.

update

while {true} do {
stuff = position player nearObjects ["groundweaponholder",10];
{
	if ( isNil {_x getVariable "newholder"} ) then {
		_magazines = magazineCargo _x;
		_x setVariable ["magazines",_magazines,true];
		_weapons = weaponCargo _x;
		_x setVariable ["weapons",_weapons,true];
		_items = itemCargo _x;
		_x setVariable ["items",_items,true];
		_holder = createVehicle ["WeaponHolderSimulated", position _x, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
		_x setVariable ["newholder",_holder,true];

		for [{_i=0},{_i<=count (_x getVariable "magazines")},{_i=_i+1}] do {
			(_x getVariable "newholder") addMagazineCargoGlobal [(_x getVariable "magazines") select _i,1];
		};

		for [{_i=0},{_i<=count (_x getVariable "weapons")},{_i=_i+1}] do {
			(_x getVariable "newholder") addMagazineCargoGlobal [(_x getVariable "weapons") select _i,1];
		};
		for [{_i=0},{_i<=count (_x getVariable "items")},{_i=_i+1}] do {
			(_x getVariable "newholder") addMagazineCargoGlobal [(_x getVariable "items") select _i,1];
		};
		deleteVehicle _x; //this is what is so far causing the problem though I think I know a solution.
	};
}forEach stuff;
sleep 2;
};

bug to say is that your inventory is counted as a groundweaponholder so it sorta breaks your own inventory. So I can't delete the groundweaponholder.

Update 2

its done and looks pretty good tbh

I found out that there is really no reason to switch the groundweaponholder to a weaponholdersimulated

3ditems.sqf

LALA_FNC_TURN_AROUND = {
_turntable = _this select 0;
_obj = _this select 1;

waitUntil {player distance _obj < 10};

_dir = getDir _turntable;
	waitUntil {
		_dir = _dir + (
			if (_dir > 360) then [{-360},{3}]
		);
		_turntable setDir _dir;
		player distance _obj > 10
	};
[_turntable,_obj] spawn LALA_FNC_TURN_AROUND;
};

while {true} do {
stuff = position player nearObjects ["groundweaponholder",10];
[] spawn {
	{
		if ( isNil {_x getVariable "newholder"} ) then {			
			_x setVariable ["newholder",true,true];

			_turntable = createVehicle ["Land_Can_V3_F", position _x, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
			_turntable hideObject true;
			_x attachTo [_turntable,[0,-0.63,0.7]];
			_x setVectorDirAndUp [[0,0,1],[0,-1,0]];

			_dir = getDir _turntable;
			waitUntil {
				_dir = _dir + (
					if (_dir > 360) then [{-360},{3}]
				);
				_turntable setDir _dir;
				player distance _x > 10
			};

			[_turntable,_x] spawn LALA_FNC_TURN_AROUND;
		};
	}forEach stuff;
};
};

edit

this does not affect dead bodies only stuff you drop.

and small little change

LALA_FNC_TURN_AROUND = {
_turntable = _this select 0;
_obj = _this select 1;

waitUntil {player distance _obj < 10};

_dir = getDir _turntable;
	waitUntil {
		_dir = _dir + (
			if (_dir > 360) then [{-360},{3}]
		);
		_turntable setDir _dir;
		player distance _obj > 10
	};
[_turntable,_obj] spawn LALA_FNC_TURN_AROUND;
};

while {true} do {
_stuff = position player nearObjects ["groundweaponholder",10];
[_stuff] spawn {
_stuff = _this select 0;
	{
		if ( isNil {_x getVariable "newholder"} ) then {			
			_x setVariable ["newholder",true,true];

			_turntable = createVehicle ["Land_Can_V3_F", position _x, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
			_turntable hideObject true;
			_x attachTo [_turntable,[0,-0.63,0.7]];
			_x setVectorDirAndUp [[0,0,1],[0,-1,0]];

			_dir = getDir _turntable;
			waitUntil {
				_dir = _dir + (
					if (_dir > 360) then [{-360},{3}]
				);
				_turntable setDir _dir;
				player distance _x > 10
			};

			[_turntable,_x] spawn LALA_FNC_TURN_AROUND;
		};
	}forEach _stuff;
};
};

So this would replace my weaponrotate.sqf?

Edited June 28, 2014 by Chillroy

[Lala14 135]

yea call it whatever and then to execute it do

null = [] execVM "3ditems.sqf";

or what ever you want to call it. Also one thing that I want to add is this only works on dropped items.

[Lala14 135]

LALA_FNC_TURN_AROUND = {
_turntable = _this select 0;
_obj = _this select 1;

waitUntil {player distance _obj < 10};

_dir = getDir _turntable;
	waitUntil {
		_dir = _dir + (
			if (_dir > 360) then [{-360},{3}]
		);
		_turntable setDir _dir;
		player distance _obj > 10
	};
[_turntable,_obj] spawn LALA_FNC_TURN_AROUND;
};

while {true} do {
_stuff = nearestObjects [position player, ["GroundWeaponHolder","WeaponHolderSimulated","WeaponHolder"], 10];
[_stuff] spawn {
_stuff = _this select 0;
	{
		if ( isNil {_x getVariable "newholder"} ) then {			
			_x setVariable ["newholder",true,true];

			_turntable = createVehicle ["Land_Can_V3_F", position _x, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
			_turntable hideObject true;
			_x attachTo [_turntable,[0,-0.63,0.7]];
			_x setVectorDirAndUp [[0,0,1],[0,-1,0]];

			_dir = getDir _turntable;
			waitUntil {
				_dir = _dir + (
					if (_dir > 360) then [{-360},{3}]
				);
				_turntable setDir _dir;
				player distance _x > 10
			};

			[_turntable,_x] spawn LALA_FNC_TURN_AROUND;
		};
	}forEach _stuff;
};
};

updated, dead bodies with guns drop will spin and items placed in the editor will spin also.

[Yolo Joe 11]

I love you <3

[dr death jm 117]

i tried this in editor, map freezes ? I cant test.

[Lala14 135]

try adding a sleep so like place it here

while {true} do {
   sleep 2;
   _stuff = nearestObjects [position player, ["GroundWeaponHolder","WeaponHolderSimulated","WeaponHolder"], 10];

while {true} do {
   sleep 2;
   _stuff = nearestObjects [position player, ["GroundWeaponHolder","WeaponHolderSimulated","WeaponHolder"], 10];

were does this go I have 2 files 1 is the init with the execvm the second it the file im calling ... sorry im confused

edit this is already in your sqf,

while {true} do {

_stuff = nearestObjects [position player, ["GroundWeaponHolder","WeaponHolderSimulated","WeaponHolder"], 10];

[_stuff] spawn {

why would I add it somwere eles?

opps sorry I see the change in code , ill test.. thank you.

ok @Lala14 in init im using

call compile preProcessFile "scripts\weaponrotate.sqf";

I see the weapon turning and can take it but (no ammo)?

did I miss something?

---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------

fixed ... thanks for script.

[Yolo Joe 11]

@DrDeathJM what did you do to add ammo? I just placed a weapon in the editor, synced it to the Show/Hide modules and to a trigger. Works great.

[dr death jm 117]

call compile preProcessFile "scripts\weaponrotate.sqf";

that's all I did ... any ai I kill or player there weapons and ammo show up ... at about 15 feet or so it starts spinning ..

using a trigger would be realy cool for loot scripts and things...

I can see this script being used in multible ways ..

if you want longer range you would need to change three areas in the script

_stuff = nearestObjects [position player, ["GroundWeaponHolder","WeaponHolderSimulated","WeaponHolder"], 10]; 

so change 10 to a greater distance

and

player distance _x > 10

I would suggest changing this to what you have for above and

player distance _obj < 10

I would suggest changing this to what you have for above and

player distance _obj > 10

I would suggest changing this to what you have for above and

I could add a simple variable so instead its just 1 thing you need to change rather than 4.

[Yolo Joe 11]

i tried this in editor, map freezes ? I cant test.

Im getting this as well... I did not understand how to fix it xD

[dr death jm 117]

hmmm my ammo dosn't show up any more

did you get it working Chillroy?

I have it working but ammo dosnt show up anymore.

@Lala14

can you post how you got ammo to show up?

Edited July 5, 2014 by Dr Death JM

[Lala14 135]

@Dr Death JM

what do you mean by ammo showing up?

[dr death jm 117]

@Dr Death JM

what do you mean by ammo showing up?

ammo dosnt show up with weapons (3d spinning)...

after killing ... just weapons.
