Ship turret

[mondkalb 1087]

Hi there,

I'm modelling a ship, so far - so good, but now I want to create the front turret. I made it able to fire, but it's not moveable.

I don't have any clue why, and this is the part where you get involved.

This is the config-code from cfgVehicles:

Quote[/b] ]class RHIB;

And this is, what arma.rpt says to this problem:

Quote[/b] ]Error: bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/MBG_FgtSachsen/Turrets/Leichtgesch/: Turret body LeichtgeschTUR not found while initializing the model mbg_fgtsachsen\sachsen.p3d

Error: bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/MBG_FgtSachsen/Turrets/Leichtgesch/: Turret gun LeichtgeschGUN not found while initializing the model mbg_fgtsachsen\sachsen.p3d

Can anyone explain to me, what this means? In every LOD (Even Memory) of the ship model are selections named "LeichtgeschGUN" and "LeichtgeschTUR".

And how important is a cfgModels for this turret?

Thanks.

any moving bone must be defined in cfgModels/skeletone

it won't work other way

Thanks, I've written the CfgSkeletons, but it's still not working.

This is, how it looks:

bad source. do you got any tank example ?

[mondkalb 1087]

No.

I took this from VTE, some parts from their ACH47, and some from their PBR.

So, do you mean I should base this turret on a Tank-config?

[RN Malboeuf 12]

i mean you got wrong "source" parameter. look through examples

[mondkalb 1087]

The examples are quite confusing. What selection has to be written behind "source"?

For now I filled in the following:

Quote[/b] ]Source = "LeichtgeschTUR"

[...]

Source = "LeichtgeschGUN"

but still no result.

Have you got any working/proper examples?

[RN Malboeuf 12]

open any tank addon and define turrets like in there there's example into biki too.

look for

animationSourceBody,animationSourceGun

[mondkalb 1087]

Combining this with Tank configs crushes everything. Is there a simple thing in my posted config that is blocking the turret?

I mean: Where is the error? Inside the cfgModels, CfgSkeletons or cfgVehicles?

I just don't get it...

[scars09 9]

config skeleton config models and config of a ship, in this case with 2 turrets, a working radar and 3 working schiffsschrauben. it has also a useraction defined, delete it when u dont need that feature. important is to have identical naming in model and config. so my selection of the radar in model is named radar. my maingun named maingun, seconday gun named sensors, secondary gun turret "sensors_turret"

try this first, i think you doesnt define the turret/newturret thing correct. and animationsource needs to be maingun and mainturret i think, didnt get the czech octohlaven and octovez to work-

EDITand most important, in cfgmodels, the class has to be named like the selection in the model

[scars09 9]

took a look again, bdfy is absolutly right, only obvious error in your config are the animationsource for gun and turret wich need to be maingun and mainturret. predefined from engine itself.

everything else should, if named in model correctly, work.

[mondkalb 1087]

Thanks for your help.

So, when the arma.rpt says me:

Quote[/b] ]Error: bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/MBG_FgtSachsen/Turrets/mainTurret/: Turret body mainTurret not found while initializing the model mbg_fgtsachsen\sachsen.p3d

Error: bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/MBG_FgtSachsen/Turrets/mainTurret/: Turret gun mainGun not found while initializing the model mbg_fgtsachsen\sachsen.p3d

It's just some wrong named selections in the model?

[RN Malboeuf 12]

Quote[/b] ]animationsource for gun and turret wich need to be maingun and mainturret.

true

Quote[/b] ]predefined from engine itself

false. nothing is defined by the engine

Mondkalb

make everything like in tank. that's my final advise if you can't get the structure

[scars09 9]

Quote[/b] ]Animation sources

These are the controllers that provide the input for the animation phase of the animations. These are the controllers that provide the input for the animation phase of the animations. These controllers are defined in the animation class using the source parameter. It's also possible to define custom controllers in the main configuration file, using class AnimationSources.

thats what i ment with predefined by the engine, saying using the default animation source would have been more on point i guess.

[Snake Man 401]

Hehe dont take the config from VTE PBR as its not working

The ACH-47A gunship config does however work very nicely (besides the gunner view bug), but turret wise its ok.

[mondkalb 1087]

Okay, for now I have based the config on a tank's one.

But it still tells me that:

Quote[/b] ]Error: bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/MBG_FgtSachsen/Turrets/MainTurret/: Turret body MainTurret not found while initializing the model mbg_fgtsachsen\sachsen.p3d

Error: bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/MBG_FgtSachsen/Turrets/MainTurret/: Turret gun MainGun not found while initializing the model mbg_fgtsachsen\sachsen.p3d

What does this tell? Where is he looking for "MainGun" and "MainTurret"?

[UNN 0]

In your p3d make sure you have selections named "MainTurret" and "MainGun" and the selection names assigned for your axis. In this case, for the axis I used "MainTurret axis" and "MainGun axis".

In your model.cfg, make sure you have animations defined and named as "mainTurret" and "mainGun":

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

       {

       type = "rotationY";

       source = "mainTurret";

       selection = "mainTurret";

       axis = "mainTurret axis";

       animPeriod = 0;

       memory = 1;

       minValue = "rad -360";

       maxValue = "rad +360";

       angle0 = "rad -360";

       angle1 = "rad +360";

       };

class mainGun

       {

       type = "rotationX";

       source = "mainGun";

       selection = "mainGun";

       axis = "mainGun axis";

       animPeriod = 0;

       memory = 1;

       minValue = "rad -360";

       maxValue = "rad +360";

       angle0 = "rad -360";

       angle1 = "rad +360";

       };

In your config, for the turret, make sure you have "MainTurret" and "MainGun" assigned to:

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

gun="mainGun";

animationSourceBody="mainTurret";

animationSOurceGun="mainGun";

If you have all of these in place, you should not get any error messages in Arma.rpt.

[[aps]gnat 28]

Just as a note for the named selections in the model;

- mainTurret is ALL the turret, including the gun barrel

- mainGun is just the gun barrel

Scars,

Not sure the slight difference, but my CfgVehicles has it like this;

animationSourceBody = "main1turret";

animationSourceGun = "main1gun";

.........

My pre-definite seems the same;

so, and this is CfgModels:

{

   {

       sectionsInherit="";

       sections[] = {};

       skeletonName = "";

   };

   class Vehicle : Default

   {

       sections[] ={};

   };

class Ship : Vehicle

   {

       sections[] =

       {

          "MainTurret","MainGun"

};

   };

class MBG_ship  : Ship

   {

       sectionsInherit="Ship";

       sections[] = {"MainTurret","MainGun"};

       skeletonName = "";

   };

class MBG_gunb: MBG_ship

{

skeletonName = "MBG_MBones";

sectionsInherit="MBG_ship";

sections[]={"MainTurret","MainGun"};

class Animations

{

class MainTurret

      {

      type = "rotationY";

      source = "MainTurret";

      selection = "MainTurret";

      axis = "MainTurretAxis";

      animPeriod = 0;

      memory = 1;

      minValue = "rad -360";

      maxValue = "rad +360";

      angle0 = "rad -360";

      angle1 = "rad +360";

      };

class mainGun

      {

      type = "rotationX";

      source = "MainGun";

      selection = "MainGun";

      axis = "MainGunAxis";

      animPeriod = 0;

      memory = 1;

      minValue = "rad -360";

      maxValue = "rad +360";

      angle0 = "rad -360";

      angle1 = "rad +360";

      };

};

};

};

And this is, how the memoryLOD looks like:

Are there some things missing? Are the points case sensitive?

ArmA.rpt is still saying the same.

PM'ed you 2 working (un-BinPBO'ed) examples ..... see if that helps.

is there any movement at all?? is maingun and mainturret defined in every lod? the last errormessage you posted stated clearly that there is no selection named maingun and main turret in the model

Quote[/b] ]Error: bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/MBG_FgtSachsen/Turrets/MainTurret/: Turret body MainTurret not found while initializing the model mbg_fgtsachsen\sachsen.p3d

Error: bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/MBG_FgtSachsen/Turrets/MainTurret/: Turret gun MainGun not found while initializing the model mbg_fgtsachsen\sachsen.p3d

i would redefine the selections in the resolution lod.

I got the same sort of error when I removed just the animations from model.cfg. That’s why I posted just the animations, as an example and not the bone definitions.

I noticed in the example of cfgModels Mondkalb posted, there is no section for cfgSkeletons? To be honest, I found inheriting bones from the existing classes to be a bit fickle, it may not even work at all?

When I wrote some configs to get the BI sample models into the game, as individual pbo's. I decided to define them all myself from scratch.

[scars09 9]

i didnt know that the error would come when the animation is deleted. the cfg looks (except of the missing cfgskeletons) ok to me. at least good enough to enable some movement on the turret. during testing this in the past month i (and i think most others who played around with it) had different kind of movement before it work like it should. only gun, only turret, only when optics enabled. i had the issue of selections that were existing but not working, these maingun and mainturret selections were messed up with weight values of selections they had nothing to do with and they werent working in a correct configured vessel. after redefine the selections in the model, all worked fine again. that was my thought behind this

@[APS] Gnat

it really seem that aslong you use identical naming in model and config the name itself doesnt matter. its same with original models, sometimes they use maingun and mainturret, sometimes octovez and octohlaven, same with the axis naming.
