ladders don't work if placed in Visitor

[bad benson 1733]

first thing u need to know is that the BIS ladders work fine when i place them in visitor. the actual problem occurs when i place my custom building in visitor. the ladders just don't work ingame. but when i place my building via mission editor it works like a charm.

here's my config:

#define private		0
#define protected	1
#define public		2
#define true	        1
#define false	        0

class CfgPatches {
class BaBe_Objekte {
	units[] = {"BaBe_hut2"};
	weapons[] = {};
	requiredVersion = 0.1;
	requiredAddons[] = {"CAData"};
};
};

class CfgVehicleClasses {
class BaBe_Struct {
	displayName = "BaBe_Structures";
};
};

class CfgVehicles {
class House;	// External class reference

class BaBe_hut2 : House {
	scope = public;
	model = "\babe_buildings\h2";
	mapSize = 2;
	displayName = "Huette2";
	vehicleClass = "BaBe_Struct";
	nameSound = "Building";
	accuracy = 0.2;
	animated = false;
	ladders[] = {{"start1", "end1"}, {"start2", "end2"}};
	destrType = "DestructNo";
	cost = 0;
	armor = 10;
       };
};

Possible the classname must be "Land_BaBe_hut2"

that didn't help. thx anyways

Did you ever get this solved?

4 things are required...

• 'Land_blah' for the class name.
  
• The class should have a ladders[] array with sub-arrays for each ladder defining a start & end named selection (They can be called anything at all so long as they match the Mem. LoD).
  
• The model should have these same named selections as points in the Memory LoD.
  
• The model should have 'class=house' as a property in the Geometry LoD.
  

Ofcourse the should be no other errors or omissions. It's common for people to 'miss' the 'class=house' property from the Geom. LoD.

Opps. Actually, just thought... maybe wrong about that... 'class=house' might have been one of the pre-requisites for doors not so sure about ladders now that I think about it... give her a bash and see...

Will do - I haven't had success yet.

Thank you Synide...

do not know if it was the "Land_blah" or the house in Geo LoD, got my ladders working now.:)

[domador_de_yonkis 10]

Hi there,

I have the same problem but with BIS's ladders and gates...... any ideas how to fix that????

thanks in advance.

Well...

what is your setup?

Do u use Namespace and have "ca" folder in your namespace too?

Try to use terrain tutorial by Sgt Ace step by step

http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=85579

then it should work

[domador_de_yonkis 10]

lol , i have all the configs in their respective folder but i didn´t unraped none of them ........ now everithing is ok thanks for the clue!

I modeled a house (4 doors, 1 ladder).

Using the editor Arma2 to place my house: the animations work.

Using Visitor3 to place my house: the animation does not work.

No animation works (door and ladder), even with models BIS..

I must admit that I do not understand why.

The folder of my map is in "P\essai\" and is named "test"

The folder "essai" contains:

- folder "test" (my map), "CA" (*.cpp of addons ArmA2), "maison_briques_1" (*.cpp of my house).

The folder "test" contains:

- Files "*. cpp ","*. cfg" and "*. WRP.

- The folder "data" and "source".

The folder of my house is in "P" and is called "maison_briques_1"

This folder contains:

- Files: "*. cfg ","*. P3D ","*. cpp" and "*. csv".

- A folder "data" containing the textures and files "*. rvmat.

Here is the file "*. cpp" from my house :

Thank you in advance for your help.

Typically the problem is caused by no config.cpp files available at time of Binarizing your project.

Have you unrapped all your Config.bin files inside your CA directory?

Does your CA contain ALL ArmA2 PBO's de-PBO'ed ?

When you BinPBO, switch on logging and tell us what the log says.

EDIT:

And when you have fixed that problem that affecting ALL buildings (including BIS), you need to take note of help elsewhere in this thread.

'Land_blah' for the class name.

Hi Akio...

Haven't looked thru your files thoroughly so there may be other issues, but the first that immediately stands out are...

Classname must begin with "land_", and model name must match...

Try...

class land_maison_briques_1

and

filename="maison_briques_1.pbo"

in the config.cpp

*edit* - Gnat beat me to it! - what he says, including the fact that the "land" thing IS mentioned earlier in this very thread! ;)

It works.

It had to be changed (as you had told me):

class CfgVehicles
{
class Strategic;	// External class reference

class maison_briques_1 : Strategic

by

class CfgVehicles
{
class Strategic;	// External class reference

Land_class maison_briques_1 : Strategic

Thank you for your help (you really have to learn English, it will save me to use a translator to understand half of explanations).

Just checking

You have

Land_class maison_briques_1 : Strategic

or

class Land_maison_briques_1 : Strategic

[bushlurker 46]

class Land_maison_briques_1 : Strategic

is what it should be...
