First off my issue is iv'e tried adding a ramp to one of my new upcoming VTOL aircraft. My problem is i cant seem to get a prompt in game to raise / lower the ramp. I have configured my models "Memory" Lod to have an axis and also have a selection of the door linked to the axis and have made adjustments to the model.cfg and config.cpp It compiles fine but again no prompt in game. Another thing i want to know is would my issue stem from not having a area for the player to interact like how you define the driver seat ??

Right that's the landing gear sorted :D Now another thing im having a problem with is the cargo proxies when im in the pilot seat and go into third person i cant see the guys in chairs, same when i get out of the aircraft and look in the door/hatch i cant see them. But when i get in as a passenger (in the back of the aircraft) i can see them all sitting there which clearly tells me its related to a proxy issue what do you think ? I must be missing something simple. --=EDIT=-- I fixed it never mind. It was blender exporting the proxies incorrectly.

Scars one more thing thats a tiny bit off topic and a different issue. But do you know how to "Attach" parts to animate together as im working on a multiple part landing gear.

I fixed it very late last night and it works fine now after 2 days tinkering. I really appreciate the time to respond to me Scars thanks for your help. :D

Ok i still need help making a door for my heli. I think my issue lies within the following section of code. Can someone explain what each of the following lines of code do as i used a bohemia template and am finding it hard to understand what everything is/does. For example what does this following line of code mean ? >>>> this animationPhase ""Rear_Door"" <<<< and what does it do and what is Rear_Door in reference to i assumed it was the the above class name in AnimationSources but clearly i am wrong. I understand i might be over complicating this and making it hard to understand but its the only way i can explain it. Config.cpp class AnimationSources: AnimationSources{ class Rear_Door /// the class name is later used in model.cfg { source = "user"; /// door source means it is used by animateDoor script command animPeriod = 1; /// how long does it take to change value from 0 to 1 (or vice versa) initPhase = 0; /// what value does it have while creating the vehicle }; }; class UserActions { class Rear_Door_Open { userActionID = 60; /// ID for some scripts displayName = "Open door"; /// what is displayed in action menu position = "actions"; /// start of radius where action is available condition = "this animationPhase ""Rear_Door"" < 0.5 AND Alive(this) AND (player in crew this)"; /// only openable from inside and when closed statement = "this animateDoor ['Rear_Door', 0]"; /// sets animation source Doors to 1 via interpolation priority = 1.5; /// higher priority means higher in the Action menu radius = 1.5; /// how far from position is the action available showWindow = 0; /// 0 means that it is not a default action when entering the vehicle onlyForPlayer = 1; /// AI doesn't use this one shortcut = ""; /// there's no shortcut for this action }; class Rear_Door_Close { userActionID = 61; /// ID for some scripts displayName = "Close door"; /// what is displayed in action menu position = "actions"; /// start of radius where action is available condition = "this animationPhase ""Rear_Door"" > 0.5 AND Alive(this) AND (player in crew this)"; /// only openable from inside and when closed statement = "this animateDoor ['Rear_Door', 1]"; /// sets animation source Doors to 1 via interpolation priority = 1.5; /// higher priority means higher in the Action menu radius = 1.5; /// how far from position is the action available showWindow = 0; /// 0 means that it is not a default action when entering the vehicle onlyForPlayer = 1; /// AI doesn't use this one shortcut = ""; /// there's no shortcut for this action }; }; This is the following link between the door from the model.cfg to the config.cpp Model.cfg class Animations { class Rear_Door // ORI door1 { type="translation"; axis="doorX_axis"; animPeriod=1; source="user"; selection="door1"; offset0=0; offset1=1.00; minValue=0; maxValue=0.05; };

Yea that didn't work but makes sence now that you recommend it. I have the option in the action menu now since i poseted this but when i press open door nothing happens. Any ideas ?

Ok i have gotten the "Open Door" option on the in game action menu but when i activate it the door advisably doesn't open.

Hi all i was just wondering if it would be possible for someone to help me with my terrain. First off i used Stratis's config.cpp as a template and changed it suitable to my needs for my island. This means i used Stratis's lighting and my terrain is supposed to be dark and somewhat gloomy, but it is bright like a Greek island, would it be possible to ask someones advice and what lines of code in the config i could change to achieve this effect ?

I'm going to bump this topic if its possible as i have stepped away from map making but am now starting again as a hobby. I still haven't found a way to confidently edit my maps config.cpp lighting portion. If anyone can link a tutorial or another topic that would be great. And before i get told to search an answer iv'e already looked most of last night so if a tutorial or another topic like mine exists i couldn't find it. My problem is i copied the altis config and basically my snow map thats supposed to be dark/gloomy is like a tropical paradise when it comes to lighting. Any help is appreciated and iv'e included some screenshots. This is the problematic lighting. This is the lighting i would like but i can only achieve this at a really late time and having a high overcast value(Almost Raining). Thanks to everyone in advance. -Irish

Hi all im having a minor issue with a helmet i'm currently working on. I pack the pbo fine and all that jazz but once im in game i get an error saying the p3d cannot be opened. The p3d is all original, as in i own it and made it from scratch. Iv'e made a few vehicles in the past but was wondering if anyone has an idea why the helmet won't open. Also on a side note i reduced the vert count to about 400 verts and still no joy.

Ok now that the helmet is "finished" im now trying to refine it a little is there a reason why this occurs ? All verts are connected and such i made sure in blender.

Nice one lads ill give this a go later on thanks boys.

Ok an update. I'm much more happy with it now. Here is the end result im sure many will cringe at the sight of it lol. But im happy with it as my first helmet. Thanks for the help lads. Now i have one more question and im officially done. this issue with the inside being see through. I have mapped the inside and given it a texture but still its invisible any ideas.

Great thanks for the advice PuFu and i respect the no bullshit/stern reply :P . Ill have a look around and come back if i have questions.

Well thats the thing im quite new and want to learn. I know its not a proper unwrap but i don't know how you would go about using a texture that was made in blender in Obj Builder for example i don't know if i made a texture in blender would it be effected if i resized the model etc... And i gather you can only use one UV set per p3d/model.

Iv'e mapped the leafs and the helmet as far as i know as seen here i have the helmet and leafs in different UV sets. Is that alright. Then in photoshop...

Ok i got that working fine but i now have another problem i cant seem to fix. Object builder is very picky but now i got that working and i thank you for that Jackal. The helmet texture wont load. It just stays a purple colour and i packed and tryed it in game its invisible. Again any ideas ?

Im having a problem i'm find TGA does not hold onto transparency any ideas ? The leafs im using are solid but have the green stem on them. But in photoshop the background is transparent. Its like the transparency is not exporting to the file.

Ok i will do that now but one question. What do you mean by the alpha gradient. I know the alpha channel controls opacity but thats about it.

Ok is it possible to use a transparent image as i need the design of a transparent image as seen here ? Without transparent images the leafs are solid and i have this.

Again before i call it a wrap an idea why my helmet is transparent ? But then when far away its visible. Would this be caused by the paa being wrong in some way ?

One quick question that is off topic. Im sorry if it is were can i find the apex pbos to use the tropic camos for my helmet.

I have updated the model.cfg to the correct names as far as i know. And i have a head selection but cant give weight or mass to it. What do you mean x3kj ? I have a geoLod but has no selections or anything in it. Ok i got it working thanks lads. Ill now have to look into adding the hitbox of the helmet and such aswell as texturing

Well to make the model i used blender. Then i ported that to OBJ Builder. To do lods and all that stuff. Then i use addon builder to compile the files into PBO EDIT Ok i used pboProject instead and the hat is visible. But now its in my characters stomach area.

Ok so i took your advice and made the folder structure more neat and now has the tag (NPMP) and so on. I still have the problem i changed my p3d that i made and put an arma 3 sample p3d to test it and the sample p3d still doesn't work im not to sure if the arma samples are ready to use straight away but neither my helmet or sample hat works. Any ideas ? Thanks for all this help lads i appreciate it loads
