Get Mine Trigger Range

[beno_83au 1362]

Does anyone know how I can get the range than a mine will trigger at? I've had a look through one of the configs for a mine but didn't find it, or what I thought would be it.

 

Thanks.

Not certain, but maybe this:

getNumber(configfile >> "CfgAmmo" >> "APERSMine_Range_Ammo" >> "mineBoundingDist"); //3

Mmmmmm, not quite it. But thanks though, because I had only been looking at CfgVehicles. I didn't end up finding anything matching the trigger distances (using distance2D from the player) for APERS Mine (~1m) and APERS Bounding Mine (~2.5m) in either CfgAmmo or CfgVehicles. Obviously I could just hard code a solution, but that's cheating 😄

 

Edit: Ohhhh, crazy I know, but the answer was in CfgMineTriggers:

_mineAmmo = getText (configfile >> "CfgAmmo" >> "APERSMine_Range_Ammo" >> "mineTrigger");
getNumber (configfile >> "CfgMineTriggers" >> _mineAmmo >> "MineTriggerRange");
//1

_mineAmmo = getText (configfile >> "CfgAmmo" >> "APERSBoundingMine_Range_Ammo" >> "mineTrigger");
getNumber (configfile >> "CfgMineTriggers" >> _mineAmmo >> "MineTriggerRange");
//3

Cheers for pointing me at CfgAmmo Phronk 🙂

configfile >> "CfgAmmo" >> "APERSBoundingMine_Range_Ammo"
	mineTrigger = "RangeTriggerBounding";
	
configfile >> "CfgMineTriggers" >> "RangeTriggerBounding"
	class RangeTriggerBounding: RangeTrigger
	{
		mineTriggerRange=3;				//<---
		mineTriggerActivationRange=5;
		restrictZoneCenter[]={0,0,0};
		restrictZoneRadius=5;
		mineDelay=1;
	};


configfile >> "CfgAmmo" >> "APERSMine_Range_Ammo"
	mineTrigger = "RangeTriggerShort";
	
configfile >> "CfgMineTriggers" >> "RangeTriggerShort"
	class RangeTriggerShort: RangeTrigger
	{
		mineTriggerRange=1;				//<---
		mineTriggerActivationRange=3;
	};

?

RangeTrigger definition is in a3/Dta/bin.pbo

Spoiler

class Default
{
  scope=0;
  mineTriggerType="radius";
  mineTriggerRange=2;
  mineTriggerMass=30;
  mineDelay=0.2;
  mineMagnetic=0;
  mineUnderwaterOnly=0;
  mineWireStart[]={0,1,0};
  mineWireEnd[]={0,1,5};
  restrictZoneCenter[]={0,0,0};
  restrictZoneRadius=3;
  timerStep=-1;
};
class RangeTrigger: Default
{
  mineTriggerType="radius";
  mineTriggerRange=2;
  mineTriggerMass=30;
  mineMagnetic=0;
};

Sorry @Larrow, are you trying to tell me how to set a mine's trigger range with a config? I'm not quite 100% sure what you're trying to say otherwise. What I was after was just to read a mine's trigger range for use in a script.

No, was just showing you where the range is defined. Although I noticed after posting you had updated your post with the answer, whilst I was writing mine.

Ahh, no worries. Thanks for the input then anyway.
