M577 APC IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!!!

[nephilim 0]

ok old story that

odl shit is still taking off!

i have no idea why.... its really weird.

when im close to it or the im the driver or so nothing happens

everythings right

when i move away from and its still nothing happens

when its strats moving when im away it starts takign off and

flies around

when i place the player away from teh apc on the map

it takes of straight up.....

ive already tried removign the geolod/firelod compontents of the wheels but its still takes off...

its really annoying and frustrating...

anyone knows wots wrong

big thx for any help

Vehicle taking off:-

Possible reasons:-

1. The weight of the geolod is too light

2. Config of vehicle inherited a 'simulation ="plane";

3. The setvelocity script is activated by itself from a slight bounce on the ground.

4. The landcontact is set too high above geolod

5. The speed of craft is too fast for a normal similar class vehicle.

this is what i experienced....

[nephilim 0]

1.teh mass is 15000

2. it deosnt ahve such an entry

3. there is no setvelocity script(??)

4. nope the landconatact (4 points are directly under the wheels) are under the geo lod and hters still space between tehm though not much (15-20 cm id say)

5. its max speed is 150

its cfged asa jeepMG

its really weird cuz when i payl as the apc everythigns fine

he trouble starts when im starting hte mission soem meters away from teh apc....

its just flies way up.... nothing more...

[Footmunch 0]

Sounds like GeoLOD problems.

Try re-starting the geometry from scratch. Delete the LOD

itself, then create a new blank LOD and use only 'boxes'.

Select all and assign a mass of 30000.

Do the component convex hull command.

ok i just tried

same bug

if i leave away the geolod it stands still and cant

(at least it doenst fly away)

if i add geolod (any shape, any size, any mass)

it takes off it looks similar to a chopper when flying

(nose down tail up)

but its has a cfg of a jeep with MG

and the taking of only happens when im bit away from it (10m or so) when im close everythigns fine

or if it starts close to me and move forward via way points

it takes off after some meters....

Can you post the CfgVehicles section of the config.cpp?

The CfgModels is a bit wrong. Try:

<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 Car: Vehicle{};

class M577_A1: Car{

sectionsInherit = "Car";

sections[]={"a1","a2"};

};

};

If that fixes it, I'll be surprised 

[nephilim 0]

nope still not working....

imgetting nuts

btw can the raodway lod affect this behaviour?

cuz my apc has a roadway lod inside so u can walk in it

i know that there are probs with some memory points when

road way is in the way

any more ideas?

[Footmunch 0]

Roadway lods can sometimes be a bit strange - try removing

that LOD altogether and seeing if there's any difference.

terrainCoef= 0.2 seems a bit low compared to the values

in the commented configs. Try 2, 5 or 10, maybe?

Do you have any points in the memory LOD that are a long

way away from the (0,0,0) origin? For example, rotation axes?

I remember Trenchfeet had a very odd problem with this on

his P-51...

[nephilim 0]

Edit: Fixed

its been the roadway indeed...

i onyl hope bis will kind improve this

i ahve to make a bloody compromise thís way

thx for any help

cheers
