Porting my helo pack

[ADuke 1]

Hello Everyone :)

I would very much like to get my helo pack into ARMA 2 very soon but am having some problems. I have achieved getting them in-game but the biggest problem is that the rotors don't spin, and neither do the turrets. I can already guess that it is because my model.cfg is not compatible with the model definitions for ArmA 2. Here is what I got goin' on...

EDIT: Config removed

I would very much appreciate any advice that anyone can give on getting these things ported over. ;)

Thanks,

Hi ADuke.

All this;

class CfgVehicles {
class All; // External class reference
class AllVehicles : All {class NewTurret {};};
class Air : AllVehicles {};
class Helicopter : Air {
	class Turrets {
		class MainTurret : NewTurret {
			class viewOptics;
		};
	};
	class AnimationSources;
};


class UH60MG : Helicopter {};
class UH60 : UH60MG {};

class ad_hh60g : UH60MG {

Is both unessisary and invalid I suspect;

The invalid bit is UH60MG as its not in ArmA2

Try;

class CfgVehicles {
class MH60S; // extend and copy existing class
class ad_hh60g : MH60S {
	scope = public;
	displayName = "HH60G";
	............
	............
	............

Does any animation work? Double check you model P3D file names match the names you are defining in cfgModels

Ya, couldn't be more perfect as far as ArmA 1 is concerned, I have a feeling that your suggestion is going to fix the most important stuff for the ArmA 2 version, but we'll see.

Thanks for your help,

Well, I got the thing in-game but now I am getting error messages about no entries for gunclouds in my turrets, I fixed this in the arma 1 version, don't know why I am getting it now...

OK, so this is what needed to be in my config for everything to work.

class CfgVehicles {
class AllVehicles;	// External class reference
class Air : AllVehicles {
	class Sounds;	// External class reference
};

class Helicopter : Air {
	class Turrets {
		class MainTurret;	// External class reference
	};
	class NewTurret;	// External class reference
	class ViewPilot;	// External class reference
	class AnimationSources;	// External class reference

	class Sounds : Sounds {
		class Engine;	// External class reference
		class Movement;	// External class reference
	};
};

class ad_hh60g : Helicopter {
	scope = public;
	displayName = "HH60G";

Thanks for all the help :rolleyes: lol

Moving on with the port.
