Config.cpp useraction discovery

[Guest BratZ]

Hey, I am working on a tow script and I notice this that may be important that I would like to point out.

        class UserActions

{

       class pakhook

                {

                 displayName="Hook Pak";

                 position="hitch";

                 radius=4

                 condition="(nearestobject [this, ""GST_Pro""]) distance this < 10";

                 statement="this animate [""hitch"", 1]";

                };

This useraction will only appear when a Krupp Protze (Vibes)

is within 10 meters of the Pak

Just wanted to point this discovery out as It may be important to someone, could be useful

Nearest object only recognizes distinct classnames or all (few ways)

GST_Pro is the classname of Vibes Krupp Protze (WW2 Military truck that tows this artillery)

Anyone want this Pak towable by anything other than a Krupp ,better speak now,lol

I will include a user script to add the tow capabilities to other vehicles

That's pretty cool. I wonder if this can work if a 'soldier' is near a vehicle?

[Guest BratZ]

Yes, you could make actions available depending on soldier types,like say OfficerE, or a few classes or maybe you made an engineer

Could make a bomb that can only be deactived by maybe an engineer

Or attach some artillery to the back of a vehicle maybe

[Guest BratZ]

That has been accomplished finally. We now have towable artillery. All done , just awaiting for when Vibes will release it.

I'd like to make some towtrucks,car haulers but I need to get back on my planes.

When I get back to my Helldiver, I may master the tailgunner dilemna

If I can ever get to work on a carrier, I will finish the work I was doing with walking on moving vehicles

Thats really usefull.

O and maybe for a cool Sd.Kfz Kleine Kettenkraftrad?

Hope Vibes will release the Krupp Protze and Pak 36 soon!

looking on the screens it looks like the thing behind it won't actually "move" but rather teleport very quick behind it. I want so the wheels actually move (use setvelocity)

okey, don't say their work suck, or that I could do better, but more a question if i am right? trying to help darkstar with his Bv206 but then we need a velocity if we want it too look real good

You talking about the Pak? The wheels do move (by animation,depending on speed)

Take a look at it soon to see how i did continous rotation of the wheels depending on speed, but yes setvelocity i believe will move the wheels as I know it shows the speed on speedometer of a chopper that has been setvelocity

But this pak is defined as a M2 Turret to begin with,and if it wasnt a turret I could have actually banked the whole item rather than just the hitch,you will see and its very neat and a great start for towable artillery
