trouble with animation

[xnodunitx 0]

Usually configing isn't my thing and I still think it isn't,anyway I'v been trying to get this animation line working,and after several tries I managed to get ingame with no problems,however the door animation that was supposed to be on the action menu is not displayed.

You need to add an UserActions class just after the class Animations of your jeepwrangler, if you want the open/close door action to be displayed in the action menu

By example, the left door open/close user action from the BAS pavehawk is controled by this useractions class :

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

{

class OpenLeftDoor

{

displayName = "Open Door";

position = "posdoorl";

radius = 2;

condition = " !(player in this) && (getdammage this)<0.9 && this animationPhase {sidedoorl}==1";

statement = "this animate [{sidedoorl}, 0]";

};

class CloseLeftDoor

{

displayName = "Close Door";

position = "posdoorl";

radius = 2;

condition = " !(player in this) && count ((crew this)-[driver this,gunner this])<= 6 && (getdammage this)<0.9 && this animationPhase {sidedoorl}==0";

statement = "this animate [{sidedoorl},1]";

};

};

So I should have something like this?

class Animations

{

class UserActions

{

class frontdoor1

{

displayName="Open driver door";

position="actionarea"; radius=5; condition="this

animationPhase ""driverdoor"" >= 0.9 and player in

this"; statement="this animate

[""driverdooranimation"",1]"; };

type="rotation";

animperiod=3;

selection="driver_door";

axis="osa_driverdoor";

angle0=0;

angle1=1.4;

};

};

};

I still don't see anything,configs really aren't my thing but I don't want to press it onto another to do it and I'd like to learn how to make a basic,atleast basic animations with it.

Try like this :

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

{

soundEngine[]={"\JPjeep\sound\eng.wav",db+10,2};

hasDriver=1;

displayName="Jeep Wrangler";

model=\JPjeep\JPjeep.p3d;

camouflage=5;

armor = 40;

vehicleclass = "JP vehicles"

side = 3;

scope=2;

fuelCapacity = 65;

type=VArmor

cost=100000;

transportAmmo=1;

transportSoldier=1;

hasgunner=0;

//weapons[]={"9mmmgveh"};

//magazines[]={"9mmmgveh"};

dammageHalf[]={};

armorGlass=0.6;

armorWheels=0.2;

driverCastShadow = true;

damperSize=0.100000;

damperForce=20

brakeDistance=6.00

maxSpeed=160;

unitInfoType="UnitInfoCar";

//class TurretBase

//{

//gunAxis = "OsaHlavne";

//turretAxis = "OsaVeze";

//soundServo[]={"",1.0};

//gunBeg = "usti hlavne";

//gunEnd = "konec hlavne";

//minElev=-50;

//maxElev=+70;

//minTurn=-80;

//maxTurn=+80;

//body = "OtocVez";

//gun = "OtocHlaven";

//};

//gunnerAction="ManActJeepGunner";

driverAction="ManActJeepDriver";

hasCommander=0;

animated = 1;

class Animations

{

class frontdoor1

{

type="rotation";

animperiod=3;

selection="driver_door";

axis="osa_driverdoor";

angle0=0;

angle1=1.4;

};

};

class UserActions

{

class OpenFrontDoor

{

displayName="Open driver door";

position="actionarea";

radius = 5;

condition="this animationPhase {driverdoor} >= 0.9 && (player in this)";

statement="this animate [{driverdooranimation},1]";

};

class CloseFrontDoor

{

displayName="Close driver door";

position="actionarea";

radius = 5;

condition="this animationPhase {driverdoor} <= 0.9 && (player in this)";

statement="this animate [{driverdooranimation},0]";

};

};

};

Note :

position="actionarea";

radius = 5;

that part can be important, i remember i had a hell to make one action appear, as for an action allowing the pilot of a BIS modified su25 to play a music, i got the radius not big enough, and the position=... totally wrong , making the action not appearing.

Tried to replicate it to yours and failed miserably,copied and it works to an extent. I can close the door as much as I want from within,however once I get out then I can't interact with it at all. And oddly enough there is no "open door" option,I can't detect any difference between the "open" and "close" door coding lines

The fact that I can close the door from inside but not outside is leading me to believe that I screwed up the axis in O2,as if its reversed,looking into that but the no open door makes no sense.

Well thats not it,reversing the faces didn't seem to change the ability to close the door from inside but not outside.

Might or might not be related to your problem, but cfgModels is not quite right:

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

class JeepWrangler: Car {};

Should of course read something like:

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

class JPjeep: Car {};

EDIT: Almost forgot, you could also try changing cfgPatches from:

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

class Jeep_Wrangler

{

units[] = {Jeep_Wrangler};

weapons[] = {horn};

requiredVersion = 1.96;

};

};

To:

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

class JPjeep

{

units[] = {jeepwrangler};

weapons[] = {horn};

requiredVersion = 1.96;

};

};

however once I get out then I can't interact with it at all

For this one, it is normal, one of the condition for this action is (player in this) , so the action does not appear out of the vehicle.

For the problem , previously i have not closely checked just copy pasted your idea, but now i see the problem may exist because of this :

condition="this animationPhase {driverdoor} [...] ";

statement="this animate [{driverdooranimation},1]";

class Animations

{

class frontdoor1

I think there is something very wrong there.

If you have defined the animation as being frontdoor1 , the condition and statement should use frontdoor1 , not "driverdoor" or "driverdooranimation"

and previously the >= and <= may not be correct

So overall it should then be :

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

class UserActions

{

class OpenFrontDoor

{

displayName="Open driver door";

position="actionarea";

radius = 5;

condition="this animationPhase {frontdoor1} <= 0.9 && (player in this)";

statement="this animate [{frontdoor1},1]";

};

class CloseFrontDoor

{

displayName="Close driver door";

position="actionarea";

radius = 5;

condition="this animationPhase {frontdoor1} >= 0.9 && (player in this)";

statement="this animate [{frontdoor1},0]";

};

};

the only thing i am not sure at all is position="actionarea";

The help from you two and my friend has pulled me through,it works,I can now open and cloose the door from inside. I rather like this,doesn't crowd up the action menu and makes more sense.

I am rather ashamed to have asked for your help in honesty,as much as I would like to dedicate weeks to learning all of this,I'm so behind on many things that I cannot quite afford that. But as I progress I will take note of the things I'v been taught so far and use them as best I can.

There is one last thing I would like to ask. It probably has nothing to do wth config but I don't think it requires a whole new topic...I added headlights to the jeep and they work fine,but didn't look right without a texture. So I used the BISjeep with the machine gun's headlight texture,the flares. However it seems that it shows up in day and night regardless,I skimmed through configs and found nothing on this flare texture file,I went back into O2 and checked its selection and redefined it but nada. This would be the last thing I would ask of you if I can help it.
