Problem with vehicle hatches

[norsu 180]

I've been trying to get hatches work properly but haven't been very successful so far. I'm using BIS' Stryker model.cfg as base for my vehicle as it has everything I need. Here's the config for hatches:

(I have left out most of the config to reduce message length)

class Rotation;

class CfgSkeletons

{

class amvSkeleton

{

isDiscrete=1;

skeletonInherit="";

skeletonBones[]=

{

...........

"hatch_driver",

"",

"hatch_gunner",

"",

};

};

};

class CfgModels

{

class Vehicle;

class amv: Vehicle

{

skeletonName="amvSkeleton";

sectionsInherit="Vehicle";

sections[]=

{

"Light_1_1",

"Light_1_2",

"Light_brake",

"Light_back",

"clan",

"clan_sign",

"zasleh",

"karoserie",

"vez",

"motor",

"palivo",

"zbran"

};

class Animations

{

.........

class HatchDriver: Rotation

{

source="hatchDriver";

selection="hatch_driver";

axis="hatch_driver_axis";

memory="false";

angle1="rad -20";

};

class HatchGunner: Rotation

{

source="hatchGunner";

selection="hatch_gunner";

axis="hatch_gunner_axis";

memory="false";

angle1="rad -110";

};

};

};

};

Error message I'm getting complains about missing type in HatchDriver and HatchGunner. Hatches are missing type="rotation" just like in Stryker's model.cfg but that doesn't work here for some reason. If I add the type it complains about missing angle0, once again this is missing from Stryker too. And if I add both type and angle0, the vehicle starts acting very oddly (turns slowly itself when static).

After further testing I found out that BIS' Stryker has the same odd turning effect so I guess I just have to live with it. I added both type="rotation" and angle0 so it works for now.

calling an external class like

rotation;

vehicle;

doesn't work in model.cfg. you need to find the original class from within the bis mlod models.

replace rotation; with:

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

{

type="rotation";

source = "";

selection = "";

axis = "";

maxValue = 1;

angle0 = 0;

angle1 = 1;

memory=1;

sourceAddress="clamp";

};

and vehicle; with:

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

{

sectionsInherit="";

sections[] = {};

skeletonName = "";

};

class Vehicle: Default

{

sections[] =

{

"cislo",

"grupa",

"side",

"sektor",

"clan",

"clan_sign",

"podsvit pristroju",

"poskozeni",

"L svetlo",

"P svetlo",

"zasleh"

};

};

Another thing to try is to put your axis points in the memory lod and set memory=1 in the animations. good luck!
