    Hey, I'm bringing up this thread because I wanted to do this and this was the top google result, and there was no info online. I eventually figured it out, and I hope this helps others.

     

    Here's how the ammo animation source works, with an example from a belt fed MG that hides bullets as they're fired:

      

    class mag_bullet_01_hide {
        type="hide";
        source="ammo";
        selection="bullet_01";
        sourceAddress="clamp";
        minValue=0
        maxValue=7; //Maximum amount of ammo you want to animate
        hideValue = 0;
        unhideValue=0.99/7; //Replace '7' with whatever maximum amount of ammo you want to represent, and 0.99 with 'bullet you want to hide' - 0.01
};

     

     

    So, the advantage of using 'ammo' over 'revolving' is whereas revolving is based on a fixed maximum magazine size, ammo can be set to whatever maximum amount of ammo you want to have animating - in the case of a belt fed MG, you might only want to have 7 bullets that are shown/hidden, but have 100 and 200 round belts.

    Hey folks, I'm gonna be looking to merge in and update the main mod with the new content that's been worked on in the alpha.

    Doing so will involve some class names changing and some content getting switched up that may break existing missions or campaigns.

    The plan for doing this will be to create a new workshop item from the currently live version as a legacy V1 mod that will be not updated. If you want to play a mission that depends on this content and classnames and so on it will be a case of using that version rather than the main regular workshop item.

    Let me know your thoughts/concerns/optimism

    So I'm back! I've started up a separate alpha mod to release work as it gets done. Spent the last day or two tidying up a whole bunch of stuff that was almost complete and adding polish to a few bits.

     

    Also now requires Global Mobilisation to run - there's some great GM equipment that is perfect for british forces, and german equipment can act as placeholder until replacement UK gear is found in some cases.

    Rather than continuing to release Spearpoint as a monolithic mega-mod, I'm breaking it down to enable faster updates and to give players the customisation to create a set up that suits their group (in the same vein as 3CB and others). This post details the weapons packs of this mod.

     

    Coming soon: Fully featured FN Fal & more

     

    Latest release: L2 Sterling SMG

    Get it now on Steam Workshop

    The L2, ubiquitously known as the "Sterling" after its place of manufacture, is a British submachine gun in service with the British Army from 1953 to 1994. Originally developed by George William Patchett during World War II as a replacement for the Sten gun, the Sterling submachine gun enjoyed post-war success both domestically and internationally. It continues to be used by some police and military forces around the world.

    First release: Lee Enfield No.4 & L42A1 pack

    Get it now on Steam Workshop
    Post WW2 the Lee Enfield became one of the most widely available weapons in the world. Cheap, reliable and accurate, it saw use by nations big and small, insurgencies and police forces and more.

    Huge thank you to toadie2k for the AWM bolt action example files, without which this mod would be useless.

    A couple years ago I began the process of learning to mod Arma 3 and put together Spearpoint. This would not have been possible without the mentoring and support of Mondkalb and the rest of the Arma Cold Warriors Discord channel. They are too numerous to name here, but the happy responses, healthy critique and empathy in frustration are what stopped me from giving up on this months ago.

    The Arma 3 community as a whole has contributed to a huge knowledge base that I leaned heavily upon to get this mod in to the world. The Volunteer Commando Battalion is a group that kept me interested in playing Arma for years past its original run (back to the earliest days of OFP), and I would wholeheartedly recommend checking them out if you want to play with this mod in tactical realism scenarios.
