Question re animations

[SelectThis 0]

I've used a few animations on my Huey models (unreleased so far) and come across the problem that they no longer become available once the helicopter leaves the ground. And once you land you have to get out to re-enable them.

Is there any way of getting them to work in the air?

A? Imean - can you be more specific?! WHAT animations? What you have in mind?!

Sliding doors (well.. rotating doors) and other rotating objects..not the gatling rotation though)

Hmm... with what are you triggering these animations? The custom actions thing in the config?

The gatling animation is realy easy! I made it work yesterday on TigerShark's Little Birds (MH6)!

Here is the .CPP code part you need:

//In the class CfgVehicles section you define this://

class ReloadAnimations

{

class M134MiniGun

{

weapon="M134MiniGun";

angle0=0;

angle1="-2 * 3.141592654";

multiplier=600;

type="rotation";

animPeriod=1;

selection="gatling";

begin="usti hlavne";

end="konec hlavne";

};

};

Commented:

weapon="M134MiniGun"; //The weapon name (class) you're defining for and already exist (is defined);

angle0=0; //starting angle, i.e. 0;

angle1="-2 * 3.141592654"; //How much to rotate per shot, in this case=2 * "Pi" or 2 * ~3.14;

multiplier=600; //Multiplier of rotation - affects the rotation speed;

type="rotation"; //Type of animation="rotation";

animPeriod=1; //have no idea;

selection="gatling"; //self explanatory;

begin="usti hlavne"; //self explanatory;

end="konec hlavne"; //self explanatory;

Keg, yep the custom actions via the cpp.

@fliper: hmm when i look at your config piece i was wondering:

type="rotation";

couldnt it be another kind ofp type?? I know there are only rotations so far but what would it be for if there are no other possibilities???

I think theres some sort of bug in 1.75 which causes just what you described with the custom actions

Maslow: it seems that (for now) thats the only possible type!
