Bullet penetration

[Insanatrix 0]

Hi, im new to the modding scene of ofp and arma and im wondering if someone can tell me where the values for penetration through objects are. I'm looking to hopefully tweak it so bullets will pass through different objects and still retain a velocity that would be true to real life. I dont know if this is maybe hard coded into the game or not, but im looking to hopefully, after enough experimentation, have bullets penetrate through actual targets.

Quote[/b] ]I wonder if it really working ? Did anyone see surfaces ingame penetrable from heavy weapons only?

*.bisurf materials can be found in ca\data\Penetration.

I unraped glass.bisurf for ex.

Density = 2400;

rough = 0;

dust = 0;

bulletPenetrability = 150;

soundEnviron = "Empty";

isWater = "false";

friction = 0.1;

restitution = 0.1;

impact = "default_Mat";

Does Anyone know how it all is going to be implemented ?

We can use rvmat materials now with cfgTexturetomaterial but there's no link in the configs for bisurf files.

Suma gave us this information. We didn't find the time to

research this in detail. We like to share this information.

Hopefully its useful.

You map a fire geometry component with a rvmat material which contains a link to physical

properties file, like this:

surfaceInfo="data\wood.bisurf";

the bisurf file contains value:

bulletPenetrability=150

This gives a distance which is needed to fully stop a bullet with velocity 1000 m/s

Bullet velocity only.

Yes, determining factor is velocity again.
