Need help with config

[Quel 0]

Hello, I have a problem with the config of my ship.

The problem is that i cant fire my rockets in game and i cant see the models/proxy of my rockets.

The .pbo file is called "myship", the rocket .p3d "RSM52" and the ship .p3d "ship1". The Proxy is "proxy:\myship\RSM52.p3d.01", in the Brsseb-tutorial they said that i should write "proxy:RSM52.01", but i made that and i got an error massage. The Config is a mix of the Brsseb-tutoial about gunboats and the tutorial about armed airplanes.

I tried so much, but it doesnt work.

I only had a quick scan, but according to the information you gave, your CfgPatches should be:

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

class CfgPatches

{

class myship

{

units[] = {ship1};

weapons[] = {RSM52_Launcher};

requiredVersion = 1.75;

};

};

Try that anyway, I might pop in later and have a better look.

You forget that the only weapons that can be fired from a SHIP class is bullets, not shells, rockets, or bombs.  It takes the MCAR system or create a static vehicle and setpos it regularly to the needed area via scripting in order for you to have a ship that can fire rockets, missiles, or shells.

This is the only way to get around the BIS game engine limitations.

Thx guys. So now I should create a new model which can fire rockets. And this model should I include in the ship per script. And this script I have to do define in the config, right?

How I have to define the script in the config, or what could I write in the script? (sry but I am a config and script noob)

Can't you just give a missile model to the bullets from this ship weapon and change its speed and initial speed (and rate of fire too) ?

By example, the M202A1 addon from DMA , despite being visually ingame a rocket launcher is in fact a rifle in its config (so the user can fire from the 3 positions : standing, crouching, prone)

What this weapon is launching is not rocket (despite being visually rocket ingame) but in fact bullets using a rocket model with tweaked values to look like a missile in both visual and speed/drop/rate of fire.

With a script attaching smoke and a light to this bullet, it really looks like and behave like a rocket launcher ingame.

So i guess it should be interesting for you to just modifiy the bullets "launched" by your ship into using missiles models and tweaked values to match a missile behaviour.

But this is an unguided rocket. Most ship launched missiles are guided types.

The only way I've managed to add guided missiles to ships is via the MCAR type "attaching" scripts etc.

BTW, nice addon too Sanctuary .... I hadnt played with it til now.

Oops, yes you are totally right, i didn't thought about the guided feature.

thanks for the reminder
