Little questions about modding.

Uhm, I guess I've spawned the wrong mortar.
I will check this later.

Hey folks,

I Have two questions:

1.: Is it possible to create a PCO in which you enter automatically by entering the entrance radius? (Not the mobile spawn point thing)
Like a trap or something.

2.: Is it possible to create a PCO where you are getting kicked out after some seconds?


*bumb*

by 1. never seen anything like that, i guess it is a hardcoded thing with the e button, thought about it but cant figure out a way to get around it.

by 2. have seen something like that in a thread (if i remember it correctly) it was some coding error, i think somebody built a own PCO, that made the soldier get thrown out the vehicle rather quickly after they had entered it. must be somewhere in the old forum

well heres a theory for ya, looking at weapons we dont need to have a input key defined for it to work, default is left mouse button so that to must be hardcoded i guess. but as we know we can change that with a simple line like for example: ObjectTemplate.setInputFire c_PIAltFire or what ever we need.

now im thinking if there something similar code that can be used for PCO´s then if one could change the "e" button to "w" would lead to entering the PCO as soon you walk up close to it.

just an idea, i dont know if it can be done i think it all depends on if there are any ObjectTemplate.setInput something that can be found/used.

That's a bug that happens if you have assigned an invalid networkableinfo on a PCO. Thus pressing E will get you in and out at once. If you press E very quickly and release it very quickly too, you will stay in, however. This is not a method that you should use for auto-exit, though, as a invalid networkable simply leads to a CtD when you try Multiplayer...

Did you even seen this old site.

Pretty new for me

iwé come across it now and then when googling on stuff

[Apache Thunder]

I've been aware of that one for quite a while. It has a neat database of all (or most anyway) BF42/BFV commands. It even lists commands not used anywhere. It's where I found the explosionmaterial command I used on my APMines.

Is it possible to make projectiles float over the ground at level "X"?... Without any dummy wheels it's not possible right?
They should be able to follow decent gradients at the map -> No water engine, float stuff.

Just to get sure here is a sketch:


questions?

By my knowledge, that's only possible in a dream. I'm not even sure if modern games could do that.
