Adding a Door to an object

[[aps]gnat 28]

... actions only appear to the player when their cursor is over a visible part of the object (I'm thinking it's actually determined by view geometry).

Thats what Armored Sheep said in another post .....

Quote[/b] ] I notice that for vehicles you can alter the getin radius which helps in locating the action but for statics we only have one radius , also even with default bis ladders unless i go to scope and look at the ladder or ammo crate for that matter , the action wont appear does the view geo lod have something to do with it ?

and me a few posts back . looks like we have a pattern developing.

no luck here yet .

Here's a simple addon and example mission.

UNNUserActions.zip

The user action works fine. Nothing special about the model or config, I used:

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

       {

       class MyHouse

               {

               units[] = {"MyHouse"};

               weapons[] = {""};

               requiredVersion = 1.08;

               requiredAddons[] = {};

               };

       };

class cfgVehicles

       {

       class House;

       class MyHouse : House

               {

               scope=2;

               displayName="My House";

               model="\MyHouse\MyHouse.p3d";

               class UserActions

                       {

                       class MyAction

                               {

                               displayNameDefault="<img image='\ca\ui\data\ui_action_open_ca.paa' size='4'/>";

                               displayName="My Action";

                               position="myaction";

                               radius=10;

                               onlyForPlayer=1;

                               condition="True";

                               statement="Hint ""Action""";

                               };

                       };

               };

So I cant help thinking it's a problem with your user action conditions or your p3d?

I can see your user actions displayed in your addon, nothing more. The problem is that door wont open and all my commands in config and P3D coding seems ok, with the door defined in the lods and the correct memory axis. I've test my p3d model in OFP and door works fine. With ArmA i can only get the visualisation of the command, no anim...

That sounds like a problem with your animation definitions, in the config. Have you looked at Arma.rpt to see if there are any errors relating to CfgSkeletons, Bones or missing Vertex?

What i find strange....is that the addon you supplied...doesnt even show up in the editor... So I think my machine is cursed... nothing else i can do now...

I can only assume MIG didn’t have the same problem. As it happens, since then, I tested it a little bit more. If you replace:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">model="\MyHouse\MyHouse.p3d";

With:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">model="\CA\Buildings\Misc\KBud"

The animation works fine. So I guess it's down to the p3d. BTW KBud is Arma's default model for the outside toilet

Probably you are right, i think that the doors will work after get binarized to ArmA ODOL format. Unfortunatelly that tool isn't available yet, and OFP ODOL don't work with ArmA.

I forgot to say, I updated the config to this:

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

       {

       class House;

       class MyHouse : House

               {

               scope=2;

               displayName="My House";

               model = "\ca\buildings\Misc\KBud";

               animated = 1;

               class AnimationSources

                       {

                       class Dvere1

                               {

                               source = "user";

                               animPeriod = 6;

                               initPhase=0;

                               };

                       };

               };

       };

Not sure if it needs to be binarized? Especially when you take a look at this on the wiki:

ODOL v40 File Format

And this older version:

P3D File Format - ODOLV40

There's plenty in there that you can't do with O2. Model configs are not really my thing, so perhaps someone can work out whats missing for buildings?

It doesn't have to be binarized. I followed this tutorial and after changing the config supplied there based on the stuff mentioned in this thread (thanks guys! I got the animations working.
