custom shells

[oyman 0]

I have some custom shells on my gun problem is that they dont eject

heres what I have for the code

in the cfg ammo part

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

class CfgAmmo

{

class Default {};

class BulletSingle: Default{};

class oyman_ntwBullet: BulletSingle

{

airLock=true;

hit=30; indirectHit=15; indirectHitRange=5;

explosive=1;

maxSpeed=2200;

minRange=1;

minRangeProbab=0.9000;

midRange=2000;

midRangeProbab=0.9000;

maxRange=2500;

maxRangeProbab=0.9000;

cost=2;

cartridge="oyman_ntwcart";

tracerColor[]={0,0,0,0};

};

};

its defined as my custom cartridge

and in the cfg vehicles section its defined like this

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

class oyman_ntwsoldier

{

all that other stuff

};

class Thing: All {};

class ThingEffect: Thing {};

class oyman_ntwcart: ThingEffect

{

model="\oyman_ntw\oyman_20shell.p3d";

displayName="20mm";

submerged=0;

submergeSpeed=0;

timeToLive=30.00;

disappearAtContact=1;

};

};

model paths are right but I still dont get a custom shell popping out

Did you remember to put the nabojnicestart and nabojniceend points in the memory lod for the gun model?

yes, I did

are you sure that your weapon uses your ammo?

[canukausiuka 1]

Is it a fixed weapon, or small-arms? If a soldier is not carrying it, OFP does not create the shells. You'd have to use a script to do that.

ya I know that, its a sniper rifle

so there shouldnt be any problems

Um, did you check your scope (eg: private, protected, public). I think the class ThingEffect is private, which means your casings are private too. Try making them protected.

doh!, turns out i was missing a }; to close up the soldier part of the config

thanks guys

Heheh, it happens. If you haven't yet, try using something like notepad++... it will make sure your brackets line up ;)

yep, that's what i do, too. notepad++ is very comfortable for ofp scripting (without changing any options).

I just tried notepad++ and I think it is very good, all cpp files open to notepad++ now

thanks for the tip
