Static Weapon Config

[Messiah 2]

i've been searching tutorials etc, but none of them deal with static MG's, or transportable ones for that matter, but first things first - does anyone have a basic M2 + Tripod config or know where i can get one?

cheers

[Messiah 2]

nevermind, Deadmeat sent me one over msn - although may need help later knowing me

ok, heres a config i modified to suit... but the damn thing doesnt appear ingame - is there anything i've missed out?

[Messiah 2]

ok, its been modified too change the first line to:

class UKF_GPMGSF: UKF_SF

still not working tho

maybe a config with less stuff in it will work

try this one,just add and adjust the important stuff

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

Quote[/b] ]model=UKF_TripodWeap.p3d;

here you would normally have the path for the model

ie: model="\folder name\UKF_TripodWeap.p3d";

and you can also leave off the '.p3d'

model="\folder name\UKF_TripodWeap";

[Messiah 2]

cheers guys, going to test it now

[Messiah 2]

nothing... stil wont appear ingame at all...

Without seeing the whole cfg I am not real sure but you could add these

picture="\UKF_SF\yourpic.paa"

side="number"

A rifle I made would not show until I added the picture=""

[Messiah 2]

that is the whole config - as for the picture, i dont have one to use at the moment - what would i use as the BIS one for now?

[Scud 0]

picture=m2;

try that and sorry I meant the cpp not cfg

[Footmunch 0]

that is the whole config - as for the picture, i dont have one to use at the moment - what would i use as the BIS one for now?

If that's the whole config.cpp, you'll need to add a

CfgPatches at the top as well:

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

class CfgPatches

{

    class PUKF

    {

         units[] = {UKF_SF};

         weapons[] = {};

         requiredVersion = 1.85;

    };

};

[oyman 0]

that is the whole config

i thought you had everything else in the config well as footmunch said you also need a Cfg patches

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

class CfgModels

{

class Default {};

class Vehicle: Default {};

class Tank: Vehicle {};

class UKF_SF: Tank {};

};

class CfgPatches

{

class UKF_SF

{

units[]={};

weapons[]={};

requiredVersion=1.85;

};

};

class CfgVehicles

{

class All{};

class AllVehicles:All{};

class Land: AllVehicles{};

class LandVehicle: Land{};

class Tank: LandVehicle{};

class APC: Tank{};

class M113:APC{};

class M2StaticMG: M113{};

class UKF_SF: M2StaticMG

{

weapons[]={};

};

};

Oyman - Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.  

The new class in CfgModels is the _p3d_ file name, _not_ the

addon name. So:

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

class CfgModels

{

class Default {};

class Vehicle: Default {};

class Tank: Vehicle {};

class UKF_TripodWeap: Tank {};

};

Instead. Also, the addon name should be listed in the units

array in CfgPatches. The patch name itself (PUKF in my post

above) doesn't do anything, IIRC.

So, the _full_ cpp will look like this:

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

class CfgPatches

{

   class PUKF

   {

        units[] = {UKF_SF};

        weapons[] = {};

        requiredVersion = 1.85;

   };

};

class CfgModels

{

   class default{};

   class vehicle:default{};

   class tank:vehicle{};

   class UKF_TripodWeap: tank{};

};

class CfgVehicles

{

    class All{};

    class AllVehicles:All{};

    class Land: AllVehicles{};

    class LandVehicle: Land{};

    class Tank: LandVehicle{};  

    class APC: Tank{};

    class M113:APC{};

    class M2StaticMG: M113{};

    class UKF_SF: M2StaticMG

    {

          model="\UKF_SF\UKF_TripodWeap";

          displayName="GPMG Sustained Fire";

          weapons[]={};

          magazines[]={};

    };

};

ahhh

i always mess those two things up

brilliant guys  

this is what it looks like now (although i had got it ingame, since it wasnt an M2 as such, the gunner was invisible)

having a few more problems - i cant seem to see the gunner... even if i raise the thing 10m in the air, he is nowhere to be seen (just in case the proxie was out of line)... im a little unsure as to what to do

[Scud 0]

In O2 how have you named the Gunner's proxy?

proxy:M113Gunner.01

[Messiah 2]

i used the 5Tcodriver.p3d one, as its lower to the ground and its just a fill in till i get our animator on the job

[Scud 0]

Then in the cpp change the gunnerAction="ManActM113gunner"; to

gunnerAction="ManAct5Tcodriver.";

[Messiah 2]

thought that may be the problem looking through my config

[Footmunch 0]

Try:

ViewGunnerInExternal =1;

in the config.
