Muzzleflash in shadow!

[Gummi 0]

When I try my gun ingame everything works good, but the shadow is messed up, the muzzleflash always shows up on it. How can i fix that?

the LodNoShadow property is in LOD 0.35 0.7 and view pilot.

thx

Select the muzzle flash faces and go to Face Properties in O2, make sure the "no shadow" box is totally unchecked (it may be black or greyed, so just keep clicking until it's empty).

Do this for all the lods...

*grumbles to self about missing a lod in the BAS M240*...

It's config.cpp mistake you have to define CfgModel inside it.

[Tanelorn 0]

PicVert, I don't think that's the problem or he would have complained about the muzzle flash being visible on the gun itself.

I think your cfgModels section is correct. I've never messed with the special face properties other than setting damage material values, so sorry I can't confirm a correct answer.

the shadow thing is not a problem anymore,

but can u tell me why the muzzleflash on the gun on my car always shows and the lights of the car also.

im trying to make a hmmwv with MG but these are my proglems.

thx

I assume your right, it's inside the model...

You have put your flash inside le Lod of your shadow ...

It's a limitation of OFP you can't have shadow for muzzle flash.

look in original M16 you don't have shadow for flash.

if you have all : flash and shadow viewed in game do that : for shdow see in top of post and for the flash it's in cfgModel

you have to make cfgModel like that :

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

class CfgModels

{

class Default{};

class Weapon: Default{};

class Your_model0 : Weapon{};

class Your_model1 : Weapon{};

class Your_model2 : Weapon{};

class Your_model3 : Weapon{};

};

<span id='postcolor'>

Your_model0 is the name of you p3d file for your weapon, then 1 and 2 and 3 is for your other one (if you have).

the flash is always on. here is a part of config:

it's your model or original one ? with scrpting for mounting MG on HHMW ?

the name of class XXXX: weapon{}; in cfg model must is the same of your XXX.p3d inside of your XXX.pbo

this is the original cfgvehicles for MGjeep :

i made a hmmwv model and placed a MG turret on it. does the name of the gun have to be the same as the name of the car model inside the PBO? are you saying that?

Ok it's not by script...

first I saw that you have put the wrong class for JeepMG look in my last post. You have to corect that in first and make class turret in place of turretbase (forget turretbase).

In the lod that you using for shadow clear the zasleh selection and planes.

and work a little with your eyes and your brain...  

the cfg models for JeepMG is :

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

class CfgModels

{

class Default

{

sections[]={};

sectionsInherit="";

};

class Vehicle : Default

{

sections[]={"cislo","grupa","side","sektor","clan","podsvit pristroju","poskozeni","L svetlo","P svetlo","zasleh"};

};

class Car : Vehicle

{

sectionsInherit="Vehicle";

sections[]={"ammo","sklo predni p","sklo predni l","zadni svetlo","brzdove svetlo"};

};

class jeep_mg : Car

{

};

};

<span id='postcolor'>

Now you have all that you want.

The weapon is not defined on cfgmodels... Like a Tank or Plane.

I hope you give me a credit for your car

tell me when you've finished your work.

im going nuts, this is just not working. final it will maybe work if you would post a whole config like you think it has to be.

just copy and past and change it for your model.

If it's doesnt work it's inside your model, for solve that look on upper posts for solution

after that you have to work a little

i sure will give you credits if it works, thx  

added: it worked great thx m8

*sigh*

cfgModels has been known and documented for months now. It's sad how few people actually do forum searches and visit the OFPEC tutorials section.
