Vehicle Mass / weight with cfgname

[LoOni3r 6]

 

Hello everybody,

 

 

how can I read the mass (weight) of a vehicle without spawning it?

 

getNumber(configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _cfgname >> "mass");

doesn't seem to exist.

 

getmass and mass unfortunately requires an object

 

 

many thanks in advance

Afaik the mass is stored in the model, so you need to get the model.. by spawning it.
Maybe you can just createSimpleObject it under the ground, far away from view?

Sometimes this is necessary.
You can spawn the vehicle in [0,0,0]. get the mass and delete it.

yes use createVehicleLocal on server, then delete

Thanks for unintentionally reminding me.. Completely forgot that I wanted to add createSimpleObjectLocal 🤦‍♂️

I don't see command with that name in wiki but createSimpleObject allows third parameter to define the locality.

Does simple objects have all the geometry like "normal" objects do?

should probably switch to simpleobject creation then in my mission where I need to get the vehicles size, if it's faster?

yes faster and more efficient
