[SLOVED]Amphibious Vehicle on water speed issue?

Recommended Posts

Got an Amphibious Vehicle that tried to make, already made is moving on land and water.

The on land speed works all good, but the on water speed is too low, no matter how I setting the vehicles speed the on water speed seem capped at 30km/s.

I tried set waterspeedcoef and maxSpeed to a higher value, but the on water speed of the vehicle do not changed and kept at 30km/s.

Which attribute would affect the vehicle on water speed? and is it possible to make the on water speed higher than 30km/s?

yes that possible i use this params for my schwimmwagen and reduce a speed to 10km in water in the config cpp class CfgVehicles.

 

 


                canfloat = true;
                engineEffectSpeed = 5;
                waterFastEffectSpeed = 8;
                waterspeedcoef = 0.2;
                waterSpeedFactor = 2;
                waterResistanceCoef = 0.09;
                waterResistance = 1;/// if the depth of water is bigger than maxFordingDepth it starts to damage the engine after this time

               maxFordingDepth         = 0.5;            /// how high water would damage the engine of the car

               maxFordingDepth         = 0.5;            /// how high water would damage the engine of the car

 

so basicly I just need to take down the value of  waterResistance and maxFordingDepth the water speed would go up? like waterResistance = 0.09 and maxFordingDepth         = 0.1?

yes 🙂

Thx, gonna try this after work, really there's no such thing about water speed for Amphibious Vehicle on BIS wiki, which makes it a lot of harder for me to understand it.

Hi....

 

One question regarding Water speed in amphibious vehicles.

Is there a way for a land (amphibious) vehicle so it can move faster in water than in land???

I remember making that in arma 2 with simulation=car

 

But it doesn't work with class Carx

So simulation = car no longer works in Arma3 right?

none of these value changes anything for the warter speed, it just simple not work, I attached my config below, don't know where is gose wrong, maybe you may have a look and find some thing

more im not sure but equal speed yes 🙂

 

you can add 0 into value for no water resistance and script the velocity of vehicle when he are in water 😉

turned out, all these setting would not have effect, unless you have define a amphibious gearbox for the vehicle, I added one and now all works.

Amphibious gearbox??

 

Could you expand that???

 

What do you hace to define for an amphibious gearbox??

hi Mankyle this are not really hard for working physx vehicle on arma3.

 

the most important lod for working a amphibious vehicle is a buoyancy lod 🙂

 

i d'ont modifiate a gearbox params from my schwimmwagen i use only a cpp waters values for simulating that 🙂

 

and do not required to modifiate a gearbox 🙂

 

for a boyancy and physx lod is just really important all faces its closed and convex but not required for a geometry lod 😉

 

of course the size of boyancy lod meshs affect also a moves in water 🙂

 

one movie for you can see that 🙂

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=za-MMB26-qc

 

note also a properties in geo lod reversed = 1; and buoyancy = 1 and d'ont add autocenter 😉

and the config 🙂

Amphibious gearbox??

 

Could you expand that???

 

What do you hace to define for an amphibious gearbox??

class complexGearbox
		{
			GearboxRatios[] = {"R1",-4.84,"N",0,"D1",3.43,"D2",2.01,"D3",1.42,"D4",1,"D5",0.83,"D6",0.59};
			TransmissionRatios[] = {"High",8};
			AmphibiousRatios[] = {"R1",-4.84,"N",0,"D1",3.43,"D2",2.01,"D3",1.42,"D4",1,"D5",0.83,"D6",0.59};
			gearBoxMode = "auto";
			moveOffGear = 1;
			driveString = "D";
			neutralString = "N";
			reverseString = "R";
		};

this is the only thing I changed in complexGearbox, I just make the AmphibiousRatios all the same with GearboxRatios, and then all the waterspeedcoef, waterSpeedFactor, waterResistanceCoef, etc, they just works after I did that. Before I dont have a AmphibiousRatios that was not same with GearboxRatios, and with that all the changes in waterspeedcoef, waterSpeedFactor, waterResistanceCoef, etc, do not works, only after I give the boat a right AmphibiousRatios value it works.
