Two configs of the same, only one works.

[nullsystems 0]

Hi all,

I'll try and keep this simple.

Ive got two new grenades I made.

They have exactly the same configs, just different names and different hit values and smoke color.

They are in two different pbo's ( I have also tried both in the same pbo/same config ).

One only works at a time. Odd!

They both show up in the inventory but you can only throw one.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Post the 2 configs, might help find the issue.

This is the code, I then replicate this and just change the name and some values of the smoke color, save into another .pbo addon....and only one will work at a time.

... and just change the name and some values of the smoke color, save into another .pbo

Detail needed, its exactly this info that could be causing the issue.

[nullsystems 0]

smokeColor[] = {1, 0.8, 0.7, 0};

Turns into

smokeColor[] = {0.8, 1, 0.5, 0};

Thats all.

Ok, well I'm no weapons config'er myself, but looks to me like you are overwriting the default BIS weapons and ammo definitions.

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

"Throw" is a BIS definition, thats meant to be protected (scope = 1 ..... so seems like a bad start. You should be using your own names.

I suspect you should be starting cfgWeapons with something simple like;

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

class cfgWeapons {

class HandGrenade; // extended

class MyNade : HandGrenade {

ammo = "GrenadeHandTimed";

picture = "handgrenadeTimed";

displayName = "mynade";

............

..........

.........

etc

};

Same for Ammo

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

class CfgAmmo {

class SmokeShell; // extended

class CSGas : SmokeShell {

scope = 2;

model = "\ca\Weapons\anm8_white";

..........

...........

..........

etc

smokeColor[] = {1, 0.8, 0.7, 0};

Turns into

smokeColor[] = {0.8, 1, 0.5, 0};

Thats all.

If thats the only difference then one addon will overwrite the other. You need to use different classnames.

If you show me one or both configs I can help you.

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

   muzzles[] = {"CSGasMuzzle"};

   class CSGasMuzzle : ThrowMuzzle {

       magazines[] = {"CSGas"};

   };

};

If you're redefining class Throw in both configs, then one of them will override the other. The above indicated code makes only one type of grenade usable for Throw, and that would be fine if that's all you had. However I suspect that you're also trying to redefine the Throw class in your second config with the same code.

What you end up with is two versions of the class Throw, each exclusive to one of your different types of grenades. However, if you have multiple definitions of the same classname, one of them will override the others, hence only one of these versions of Throw will exist in the game and only one type of grenade will be usable.

What you want instead is a single Thow class that supports the use of all of your grenades (and any others you wish to be able to use). So make one (re)definition of Throw in a single config that accepts both types of grenades. Keeping with your (and BIS's) multiple muzzles method, a seperate muzzle for each grenade would do the job.

Here's an example with two grenade magazines of classnames Type1 and Type2:

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

   muzzles[] = {"Type1Muzzle","Type2Muzzle"};

   class Type1Muzzle : ThrowMuzzle {

       magazines[] = {"Type1"};

   };

   class Type2Muzzle : Type1Muzzle {

       magazines[] = {"Type2"};

   };

};
