Adjustable sights for new weapons pack?

[Delta Hawk 1829]

This might be a redundant question but how do you set up rifles and machine guns with adjustable sights using the page up and page down in the config file? I'm making a weapons pack for my Soldiers and Marines and it'll be much more accurate with adjustable sights. Thanks guys.

Anyone? lol

Look into config files and find reference to a weapon that has zeroing, for instance the M24.

Thanks Zelik for replying, but I've already looked into the config files. I've also looked at the weapons config reference in the BIS wiki and I can't find anything :( I'm sure it's something that I'm just not noticing but I can't find it.

ok it's fairly simple actually, here goes:

this example is from our M14 and M21 in unsung mod

class cfgweapons
{
//add your parent entities here like 
//class rifle;
class Uns_Rifle762; //our external parent

class uns_m14: Uns_Rifle762

//this bit creates your zeroing, with each number in the brackets (array) being the zeroed range
//the initindex is the number in the array that the rifle starts on when picked up, in this case 0 is 100m, cos we're in nam, you may want to set it to 2, or 300m for non jungle environments
[b]		weaponInfoType = "RscWeaponZeroing";

for a tank turret you need both the vehicle turret and the gun defined like this bmp 30mm cannon here

//copied weapon zeroing data values to the turret, just changed WeaponInfoType to TurretInfoType

Eggbeast, you are the man. :yay:

I've never seen that anywhere at all. Thanks!

[eggbeast 3685]

i should also add that you can set the values to whatever you want. if you're in a vehicle, so long as the values match between turret and weapon then you're good to go

[Delta Hawk 1829]

Eggbeast, I really appreciate your help. I hate to ask, but I've ran into trouble with my grenades. I have them in my gear selection menu in game, but I can't switch to them and throw them. Can you glance at my code and see if I'm missing something? Do I need to create my own ammo class?
