This addon brings you working twin mguns (scripted) to the AH6 chopper and a working 4times AA-Gun to the ZSU "Shilka".

The models and textures are all BIS original stuff, only added 2 new sounds and the scripts.

Watch a short demo movie at

!

- new Sounds for M134 gatling gun (removed in RC2)

AH6 (RACS):

- working 2nd M134-MG

- new Sounds for M134 gatling gun (removed in RC2)

ZSU "Shilka":

- fully working AA-Gun

Installation:

save the "SDP_vehicles.pbo" to your addon folder.

units:

replaces the original AH6, AH6 (RACS) and Shilka.

knowing bugs:

- MP not tested

In fact that the addon isn´t tested in MP, this version is called "Release Candidate" !

UPDATE 25.12.2007 !

With best wishes and thanks to ColonelSandersLite and zGuba.

Changelog:

Release Candidate 2:

- replacement config by zGuba

- safe mg scripts for AH-6 and ZSU Shilka. Now bullets wont be created, only position is modified.

- Kills in MP should count correctly now.

- Costum Sounds removed

I really like this actually!

The AH6 doesn't feel too different, I think you should use the ammo from the Cobra's cannon for the AH6's miniguns, then you'd get the same affect as they used in Blackhawk Down on the AH6's with the explosive rounds.

Just an idea

I'm in! Give us a lookie... I've always wanted a Shilka with 4 guns.

Crap, nevermind

Found a bug:

When you're flying with a certain angle (seen on the picture) with the chopper and shoot, the chopper starts hitting itself and getting dammaged.

[CameronMcDonald 146]

Confirmed. Also happens when upside down. I also get a few array errors using the RACS AH6 - better check your config and whack a few []s in there.

thats what i meant with

Quote[/b] ]- there´s a bug with fire-geometry of the AH6 chopper that leads to problems in specific flight attitude.

I can set the shells creating point 2 meters in front of AH6 and it still happens.

@CmD

I´ve got this erros in beta-testing too and added []s, finally no errors in RC1. Have you repacked the pbo? Can you please post the error messages, which arrays fault.

Thanx

[CameronMcDonald 146]

You've missed the RACS AH6. Here's the config:

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

tex = {};

mat = {"ca\air\data\materialy\mh6_console.rvmat", "ca\air\data\materialy\mh6_console.rvmat", "ca\air\data\materialy\mh6_console_destruct.rvmat", "ca\air\data\materialy\mh6_body.rvmat", "ca\air\data\materialy\mh6_body.rvmat", "ca\air\data\materialy\mh6_body_destruct.rvmat", "ca\air\data\materialy\ah6_zbrane.rvmat", "ca\air\data\materialy\ah6_zbrane.rvmat", "ca\air\data\materialy\ah6_zbrane_destruct.rvmat", "ca\air\data\materialy\mh6_interier.rvmat", "ca\air\data\materialy\mh6_interier.rvmat", "ca\air\data\materialy\mh6_interier_destruct.rvmat"};

};

};

};

right, found it in the same second. Update´s near.

[CameronMcDonald 146]

Don't forget...

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

...too!

[Sudden Death 0]

yeah got it.

Just a quick update.

Thanx

Didnt have the chance to try this yet (at work), but this is looking very good from the video.

Nice work Sudden Death  

[edit]

Fixed typo

[RN Malboeuf 12]

good work :up:

though i guess you should remove burst mode from shilka cause it's firing all the guns now.

[edited]

There's a bug with shilka. If you aim high - addiional bullets are created not at the barrels but further in front of the model. can't get good screeny though - tracers is not seen

Love your work! Looks awesome.

I know this is going deeper than necessary, but could you also have two turreted m134's and fix them forward? (or limit the access to them) and then use a more simple internal script to cause them to fire or better yet, use "manual fire"? Not sure how that works..

[Hoot1988 0]

nice work someone asked for this some time ago on the forums and the BI response was game limitation, clearly not.

[Sudden Death 0]

@Hoot1988:

the "game limitation" is right. I´m only using scripts to create new bullets.

In fact of this:

- in MP Kills with scripted bullets didn´t count

- creating point is sometimes missplaced (maybe concerning to a lag of "modeltoworld") if fast changing positions or specific pitch and bank degree of chopper.

@bdfy:

will check this, thanks for info

@Scrub:

didn´t exactly understanding, what you mean.

AH6 has two m134 turrets pointing forward and fireing with "manual fire".Can you please explain your idea a little bit more, maybe via pm.

+1 I tried your script with another plane (add second nose mg). When rolling bullets often fly backwards killing the plane There're some errors in the math i guess

Wouldn't it be better to up the firing rate on the guns, use the fired event handler to move the rounds to a new starting point (the other guns relative position), then fake a muzzle flash?

interesting... i'll try but the only advantage it has is kill count and maybe better ai response

It should also prevent the bug where your own bullets sometimes hit you on the AH6, since you own bullets should pass through you.

can't agree. After setpos you have to setvel bullets so they can go properly. and that's where the problem is.

[RN Malboeuf 12]

@ColonelSandersLite

just tried. very simple code. but works a way better.

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

_ammo=_u ammo (_this select 1);

_b = nearestObject [_u, _this select 4];

_vel = velocity _b

_vecUp = vectorUp _b

_vecDir = vectorDir _b

?(_ammo mod 2)>0:exit //every second shot setposed

_offset1 = [0.24,7,1.8]; //specify your own _offset

_wpos1 = _u modelToWorld _offset1;

_b setpos _wpos1;

_b setVectorUp _vecUp

_b setVectorDir _vecDir

_b setvelocity _vel

though there're issues with toe-in (?) bullets with this code

[Maddmatt 1]

What problem? According to the post of yours after that it works fine

I have yet to test it myself though.

[RN Malboeuf 12]

Quote[/b] ]that it works fine

it's working cause it's simle. i can create bullets too with the same manner. But there're problems with toe-in (?) of bullets. Check yourself if you want to see what i mean
