zooloo75 834 Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Dynamic Cover SystemTake that, Battlefield 4! >.<Making cover more convenient.This mod allows players to take cover behind objects and automatically pop-out of cover when they aim down their sights. Once the player has left their sights, they will automatically pop back into cover. All stance adjustments are automated, removing the need for clunky key presses during combat. Last Update: June 24thDemonstration video by asuseroako Frequently Asked Questions Q: How do I use this thing? Can you answer it in 3 simple steps?A: 1) Get behind a piece of cover 2) Aim down sights 3) There you go...Q: Will this make me awesome?A: One could say such a thing.Q: Isn't this cover system from Battlefield 4?A: No. DICE time traveled into the future (current day) and stole the idea from my mod, causing some weird time warp that made it seem like they came up with it first. Don't let them trick you.Q: I popped back into cover and now I can't move... FIX YER DANG MUD N00B!A: Bugs are part of the ArmA experience... And part of BIS' problem.Q: Why am I not using this yet?A: You have to download it and install it into your ArmA directory. Enable it and all that jazz.Q: Can I stop asking questions now?A: Please.

Got work in a few hours >.< No fear, it must be done tomorrow after work! :D ---------- Post added at 05:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 AM ---------- Sounds cool. Hope you can pull it off! I can. I just needed more time >.< Expect the release some time tomorrow afternoon :) ---------- Post added at 05:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 AM ---------- When taking cover behind an object, you will remain in the normal state until you aim down your sights. Once ADS is toggled, you will enter the cover state. As soon as you enter the cover state, whichever position is open from your cover (above, left, right) is the position you will adjust your stance to. Once the player has left their sights, they will automatically re-adjust back to cover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorch_052 127 Posted June 23, 2014 Sounds awesome! Is it setup using the boundingBox command or some similar PhysX-related commands, meaning it will be functional on all objects? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zooloo75 834 Posted June 23, 2014 Sounds awesome! Is it setup using the boundingBox command or some similar PhysX-related commands, meaning it will be functional on all objects? It is functional behind anything/everything just as one would expect it :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rydygier 1309 Posted June 23, 2014 Anyone could meanwhile describe, how bf4 cover system works? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorch_052 127 Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Anyone could meanwhile describe, how bf4 cover system works? :) In Battlefield 4, every time you are near the edge of a wall, or any other piece of cover, a small arrow appears on the respective side of your crosshair and, when you aim, you will peak out of cover in that direction. As a matter of fact, zooloo, are you planning on adding any kind of UI indication as to what direction the user will peak out?

It seems obvious as to where one will pop out of cover. Sent from my HTC One V using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katipo66 94 Posted June 23, 2014 Hey man, this sounds very cool, I've never played bf4 but think I remember a similar system in red river or dragon rising where your character would adjust to the perfect height for firing over and obstacle when aiming down sights, look forward to seeing it, could you throw in weapon resting while your there :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
