Is there any way this could be reworked to change handanims for when a bipod is deployed/undeployed?

Oh ok, maybe that's where I went wrong I just removed the constraint. I'll give that a go thanks! EDIT<> (note the new animation was made from the hand anim file where the chilof constraint wan't removed) I created a new animation just to test and i got this result: If I use the other method mentioned I still get the hand fixed to the gun but it also moves the gun with the right hand animation

@Macser Is there any way to animate the right hand independent from the weapon position, like for animating a bolt for example.

@AlwarrenIs there currently any way to export multiple objects within the same LOD?

I fixed the issue, I had to set the texture path in object builder (File>Options>Path for textures)

Hi, I've been trying to publish my weapon addon to steam but I've recently come into trouble with the textures (rvmat works fine). specifically the error message is "Cannot Load Texture P:\Lewis\data\Lewis_MG_BaseColour_co.paa". I have my textures set in the .p3d file but it seem to be constantly referring to the texture file in my project file and not in the pbo. I know this because when I rename my project folder the texture doesn't work. I'm using pboProject to create my pbo.

Hi, as the title suggest I can only move the position of the left hand along any part of the gun. The right hand, despite moving it, however keeps resetting to what I think would be an anchor point for an AK for example. I've tried exporting .rtm from blender and it works except for the right hand but if it do it in O2 the hands spaz out and have stretched out to the side of the character model but still in the same default AK position. Weirdly enough when i key frame the right hand to sit forward closer to the left hand the game resets the hand position back and also brings the left hand back the same amount of distance. the tutorials i have been following are: Photos of my issue: Blender .rtm export: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_99uyUK5lf6VV9abzFENTF0d0E O2 .rtm export: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_99uyUK5lf6TXNxN2NfcW5IMms Blender: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_99uyUK5lf6dHJ5NktfSkRjRDg I'm not sure what else to do

Hi, I've been trying to find a way to change the hand positions and animations for the character when the weapon is prone/deployed. The current issue is that when reloading my gun in the prone position the hips rotate to accommodate the standing animation. I'm also trying to move the left hand into a supporting position on the stock. Any help would be great thanks

Thanks i'll look into it

How do I implement the prone animation?

I've already made a standing and prone animation but how do I implement the prone animation because at the moment when I reload in the prone position everything above the hips reloads to accommodate the standing reload animation.

Fixed it, had to do with my image editing software

Hi, When I converted my .png textures to .paa they lost all their black colour and appear mostly light grey.

So by unit do you mean Rifleman, AT ect.? I've been trying to make a lewis machine gun as an addon for the IFa3 mod

Hi, I was wanting to create two different hand anims one for holding the weapon for standing up and another one for when the weapon is deployed. I was thinking of using this if (bipoddeployed = 1 or weapondeployed = 1){ handanim = "deployed"; }; else{ handanim = "undeployed" };

Hi, I've been having trouble with the model.cfg where it won't work, for example on the reload animation the magazine doesn't translate or dissapear. I am new to modding in arma 3. I've basically stolen one of the tutorial examples

I'm not sure what i did to get it to work but i works now

Ok so I found an answer for this, I can use either isWeaponDeployed or bipod_legs both of which return a boolean value. Is there any way to change an animation like in the model.cgf for example: class Change_Grip{ type = "animation"; source = "bipod_legs"; selection = "handanim"; target = "\folder\data\handanim_Deployed.rtm"; };

I found a solution. I've used ArmaRig and exported it as .rtm straight from blender and its seems to be working.

Hi, I've recently been having trouble exporting hand anims into arma. I've tried creating the hand anim in o2 alone but the result is the same, i've tried different skeletons and different platform to animate the on like blender and 3ds max. is this an issue with the latest update? this will be my first mod and it's quite disheartening hitting a hurdle like this. Thanks Edit: I only just thought of this but when i exported the .rtm from O2 i removed all current keyframes then re imported the .rtm and everything its jumble up so maybe it has something to do with how o2 is exporting the .rtm

Just google "blender: painting weights", there's like a million videos

I can't seem to be able to fully extract the game data. When I first attempted, the program would crash midway through extracting with no error output then I reinstalled it but instead this time I receive the error "Mod directory missing: \Addons\". I've tried running in admin but no changes, all of the mentioned mission directories are where they should be in the Arma3 steam folder. Cheers, any help would be much appreciated

How do I get the fix?

Hi, I've made a Lewis machine gun mod and every time I try to equip it through the virtual arsenal I always get this message: '...ect,_barmax,_barmin]; _statMaxRange = |#|lineaConversion [_statsMin select 2, _st... Error Type Any, expected number File A3\functions_f_bootcamp\Invintory\fn_arsenal.sqf [BIS_fnc_arsenal], line 3363 I've messed around with the config.cpp and nothing seems to change it What I've done: made a model in blender imported fbx of model into object builder made the LODs; geometry, shadow volume, memory, & defult 1.00 saved it as .p3d made config.cpp made model.cpp made some UI elements when I run Arma3 I can see the gun in the armory it's just that i get this error with no change of weapon on the character. I can made the config into a static object and the models works fine
