Tanoa Bridge CFG

[M. Glade 524]

Hi all,

 

I'm looking for the class for the bridges on Tanoa, im making Burj Al Arab and I really need the classname for it so I can place it. I cant find it anywhere either.

 

Thanks!

You could copy to clipboard the return value for this:

it'll tell you the classnames, hopefully that'll be what you looking for.

There is no classname for bridges, and it is most likely made of many sections. You can get the model path with getModelInfo cursorObject and spawn sections with createSimpleObject

Got it.

 

[["bridgesea_01_f.p3d","a3\structures_f_exp\infastructure\bridges\bridgesea_01_f.p3d",true],""]

 

I try to create it with a simpleobject but encounter errors both times using both of those.

It is your crystal ball 

 

I used your code.

_bridge = "bridgesea_01_f.p3d","a3\structures_f_exp\infastructure\bridges\bridgesea_01_f.p3d" createVehicleLocal (player getRelPos [10, 0]); 
_position = getPosWorld _bridge; 
_vectorDirUp = [vectorDir _bridge, vectorUp _bridge];
_model = getModelInfo _bridge select 1;
deleteVehicle _bridge;
_bridgea = createSimpleObject [_model, _position];
_bridgea setVectorDirAndUp _vectorDirUp;

right, forgot there is no real classnames for the roads.

nearRoads would still be an option though?

Are you sure?

Last time I had hinted some found roads, and they were all .p3d paths.

Am I on the same page here?

Yes, when I try to find roads while im on the bridge it returns nothing.

are you finding roads based on the player's position?

Originally I had just used a game logic,

don't know if it's different using a player unit, shouldn't be.

Used both nothing.

nothing?!?

Try and expand your radius, the may just be connected in huge lengths? I don't know?

Even if it was connected using whole lengths I'd just need the name of the bridge part, unless it would be connecting as 1 whole thing it'd have to be a different model.

Right, I'm just confused as to how you were not able to find any at all.

I tested it a couple days ago on Tanoa, and within a 300 meter radius of the larger civilian terminal on the main island.

I was able to find 50+ segments.

I'll try and grab it here in a couple hours.

At school right now,

I believe I just did this:

_roads = getPos map_gl nearRoads 300;

oh and to return:

hint format["%1",_roads];

So you have model path from getModelInfo and cursorObject, right?
And position you can decide yourself, where you want to put your object, as long as it is position world, right?
Then you have createSimpleObject command that needs only model path and position to create object from this model, right?

 

Damn it. I'm stuck as well...

 

Spoiler

bridge = createSimpleObject ["a3\structures_f_exp\infrastructure\bridges\bridgesea_01_f.p3d", getPosWorld player];

My entire confusion entirely, was where to actually find the paths..
