Oberon3d 0 Posted March 4, 2003 If I make a model and config it as a jeepMG, make the correct selections and axis...the turret should work....doesn't it? Or should I write something in the config file?...... I'm loosing my mind.... ;P Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philcommando 0 Posted March 11, 2003 not sure if you are using a car with turret but hope this helps:- OFP models are modular, meaning certain classes of objects have programming codes inbuilt for assembly line modelling. Airplane class:- yes to turret helicopter class:- yes to turret Tank class:- yes to turret APC class:- yes to turret Ship class:- yes to turret object class:- eg, houses, fixture,etc:- not tried but i seriously doubt if u can mount a turret on a house, but then i could be wrong. car class:- no to turret, will not recognise turret memory points JeepMG:-?......By proxing an O2 modelled and configured mg with gunner into a car class....the proxy code must be correct to work,otherwise it will become a non active object. workaround:- trick the engine by modelling a car as apc class ( wheeled vehicle), then the turret will be active.

VXR 9 Posted March 11, 2003 for houses it could be posible, create the building in 2 parts and config the other part as a other class Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philcommando 0 Posted March 12, 2003 thanks eviscerator for clearing that up, lol!. but i was kinda wondering.....would that mean JeepMG is a separate class, different from a car class? cos i could never for the life of me mount a turret on a car class. Since the jeepmg is modelled totally in 02, which configVeh does it use? Many would like to know as it seems a civilian truck mounted with a mg is the next much awaited addon other than the aircraft carrier. Vixer: hmmm.....2 different classes within one O2 model? or 2 separate config models combined in editor? Thanks anyway, i'll try to figure it out....nothing like some more experiments to test and expand the limits of ofp...hehe.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

philcommando 0 Posted March 16, 2003 welcome back bratz, was wondering where you've been. Just use the normal turret class config and memory points, but make sure u got the parts and names 101% correct in all the lods. er....i was kinda wondering, why would anyone wanna put a turret on a 1000km/hr & wide turning angle plane?

Guest BratZ Posted March 16, 2003 You want a turret on a plane for a tailgunner position...Are you sure? I've yet to see a plane with a tailgunner. I will check it out again ,when I get back on my Helldiver Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AXE 0 Posted March 16, 2003 I tried it, i cut and pasted a working turret from a ship onto a plane, but it didn't work. It doesn't give the "no entry in airplane/turretbase" error like in earlier patches though. Maybe i did something wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
