action man 0 Posted May 26, 2011 Victor this is brilliant, i just imagine its a tactical ladder. It's a whole new world up their on the roofs:yay:. Brilliant for sniping,it's not realisic as some say but then again neither are the amount of locked building with no roof access. Thank's again if only you could change the model to look like tactical ladder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hcpookie 3770 Posted May 27, 2011 No problem VF! Been too busy with Real Life things to even look at addons lately. Crunch time right now at work :( The timber board is just over 3m long; the metal ladder is just over 6m long. Both are from the A1 sample model buildings, and textures are included. Shadow and geometry LODs adjusted accordingly. I would like to find the construction scaffold to use one of those boards as well but gave up looking for it. How long should a *long* board be? I could resize the wood plank if necessary. I know how to add a vehicle or weapon config to the game; I just don't know where to look for a static object config.

hcpookie 3770 Posted July 21, 2011 Good news Victor! I finally managed to get some time to figure out the config. I PBO'ed and signed the files. Planks are found under Empty > Objects > Plank1 Plank2 Plank3 Files are here: https://skydrive.live.com/#!/?cid=5b54fc51a7917265&sc=documents&uc=2&id=5B54FC51A7917265%211434 Please let me know if you can get the zip file OK.

cannonouscrash 12 Posted July 21, 2011 with these planks and ladders, would it be possible to have an action to raise or lower the far end, so it could be angled? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hcpookie 3770 Posted July 24, 2011 The planks don't have any axis, so Victor's mod would have to do any rotation. If it is necessary I can add an axis to them like on a gun turret. Not sure how the addon could do the code to make it rotate. It will be up to Victor to say for certain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VictorFarbau 0 Posted July 25, 2011 Thank you for your ongoing comittment to this hpcookie! I haven't looked at this addon for months now due to distracting RL comittments :) But I sure will try before my next travels in August (back to my desk in September then).

VictorFarbau 0 Posted July 25, 2011 hpcookie -> PM for a beta version using your planks. Cheers, VictorFarbau Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 4056 Posted July 25, 2011 So victor, your really able to get this plank system I had the idea about while back, i mean you have to get the planks ingame and then basically spawn them, and somehow use an attach to command to get it all to work, or how does this work?

VictorFarbau 0 Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) Yes indeed Gunter, as hpcookie designed some planks they're now in game. Required adaptations to code were limited; for the most part the logic was sufficient to use planks as well. No attachTo, objects are just being placed in the game space. With all related implications like killing yourself if you get into the way of floating objects, not being able to enter the planks sometimes, sliding rather than walking along etc.But I'll fine tune this through time. I will update this post with a link to the beta version using hpcookies planks later today. [Postponed until hpcookie has finished the object design] Regards, VictorFarbau Edited July 26, 2011 by VictorFarbau Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 4056 Posted July 26, 2011 Great job, looking forward to testing this out, very happy that you keep on making a fine little mod better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hcpookie 3770 Posted July 26, 2011 Victor I won't be able to look at it until this evening. I have an idea about the sliding - I can make invisible "rails" along the side of the plank object geometry which in theory will prevent sliding off. I will also make the walking area a bit larger to make it a little more forgiving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZZEZ 10 Posted July 27, 2011 Hey VF, I hope you don't mind - I turned the addon in to a script and am planning on using it in my mission that will be played in United Operations, I have no plans on publicly releasing the mission beyond UO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hcpookie 3770 Posted July 29, 2011 Victor, good news! Check your PM - I have made new versions for you to test as we discussed. One version has a wider walking area, and the other version has the wider walking area and invisible side rails. The intention of both of these is to limit the chance of accidentally stepping off of the side of the planks. The wider area is about 1 meter wide, which in my testing seems to work best with the game engine. The invisible side rails are also about 1 meter high on both sides. More details in the PM. Please let me know if I need to make any changes, additions, etc. as I will have some time this weekend! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
