Title: UA AMMO CRATES
Post by: augieranger on 06 Nov 2003, 16:04:36: Anyone know the configs for the ammo used by the COC? I have tried various methods and cannot get it right. It would be great to have a ammo truck resupplying the various units. Any ideas or help? :'(

Post by: augieranger on 07 Nov 2003, 16:38:19: Okay maybe I was'nt clear on what I am asking. I am trying to either have a ammo truck or air resupply take place but I can'nt find the ammo for the unified artillery, any help? You gurus should be able to come up with something, I know it in my heart, your all great at what you do. ;D

Why do you need that? Just addmagazine ammo to it, and for the classnames, ask CoC.... And you didnt even specify what ammo your looking for... M109, MRLS, etc....?

Post by: Killswitch on 10 Nov 2003, 09:04:52: Or, if you prefer an actual answer:

Code: [Select]
Unit Weapons Magazine names and standard loadout =================================================================================== CoC_M270MLRS CoC_MLRSLauncher CoC_MLRSLauncher CoC_M109PALADIN CoC_Howi155,CoC_MG50 CoC_Howi155,CoC_MG50,CoC_MG50,CoC_MG50 CoC_M252MORTAR CoC_M252Mortar CoC_Mortar81HE CoC_M101Howitzer CoC_Howi105 CoC_Howi105
Although rearming using an nearby ammo truck works fine, too.

Post by: Dinger on 10 Nov 2003, 17:38:52: looks right.
Damn, didn't specify HE at the end of the 155 and 105 round mag. names.
ammo truck should work.
GIve us a shout on the CoC forums if you've got any other questions.

Post by: KyleSarnik on 10 Nov 2003, 20:38:53: Im not sure if AI will use the ammo truck though.... so your better off using addmagazine

Post by: augieranger on 11 Nov 2003, 06:44:55: Kylesark ??? I did mention various units, :-X Any way I unpbo, big let down. Thanks killswitch, found the mags, still cannot get ai to rearm,any sugs?
Title: Re:UA AMMO CRATES
Post by: Dinger on 11 Nov 2003, 18:07:24: Yup, that's a bug (or rather a feature I never inistalled). The unit gets rearmed, but the posture is not updated. Some workarounds:

A) if the asset is mobile(m109 or M270), order it to move to its current location. If it's the M101, the move command will send it into the non-working "limber" mode for 10 seconds, and have the same effect:
[unit, unit] call CoCfIFMove

This will force the asset to recalculate its ammo and posture.

B) If the asset is a mortar (M252), force a bias error reset:
CoCM252BET = CoCM252BET + .0001
This will cause all M252s on the map to calculate a new bias error (the direction in which all shells fired by that unit drift), and recalculate their ammo.

I'll fix this in the next patch.

Title: Re:UA AMMO CRATES
Post by: augieranger on 12 Nov 2003, 01:51:51: okay now im getting " no entry 'config.bin/cfgweapons.COC_Howi155,20". wut the hell does that mean? >:( okay guru dinger, know you can help. ;D
Title: Re:UA AMMO CRATES
Post by: Killswitch on 12 Nov 2003, 09:00:49: My guess, you're probably doing a
Code: [Select]
unit addMagazineCargo ["CoC_Howi155,20"]instead of
Code: [Select]
unit addMagazineCargo ["CoC_Howi155", 20]See the difference? The quotation mark is misplaced in the first one.

NB: "unit" here would be a ammo crate or something else carrying ammo, not the M109 itself. For that, check the addMagazine command.
Title: Re:UA AMMO CRATES
Post by: augieranger on 12 Nov 2003, 16:13:01: okay, that worked killswitch,thanx.now the problem is that the 109s will refuel, but simply willnot rearm. dinger any ideas? im stumped ???
Title: Re:UA AMMO CRATES
Post by: Dinger on 12 Nov 2003, 23:04:40: unit addmagazine "CoC_Howi155"

Title: Re:UA AMMO CRATES
Post by: augieranger on 13 Nov 2003, 04:01:12: thanx dinger, still cannot do it, tried ammo truck, ammo boxes, storage building(editor). Anyone feel like toying around with it?

Post by: KyleSarnik on 17 Nov 2003, 01:03:28: Quote
unit addmagazine "CoC_Howi155"

unit is the artilery unit being resupplied, you don't need an ammo truck...
Title: Re:UA AMMO CRATES
Post by: augieranger on 17 Nov 2003, 15:07:50: ::)k.s I do need a ammo truck, i have a resupply column that is traveling with the 155s.they are triggered to allow movement with the arty unit as it moves.any help or ideas?
Title: Re:UA AMMO CRATES
Post by: Dinger on 19 Nov 2003, 08:28:11: Aww.w... hell, I'll just throw a "reload" command on the next build.
Title: Re:UA AMMO CRATES
Post by: KyleSarnik on 19 Nov 2003, 20:42:37: FAKE IT. Thats what I am trying to tell you! Sorry for loosing my tempure. Ok listen, you can have a resupply column, and make a script or something, so that when the truck is close enough to (or the other way around) the artilery unit, you addmagazine some ammo to it, and thats it. If you can't figure out how to script it, ill help you with it.
Title: Re:UA AMMO CRATES
Post by: augieranger on 21 Nov 2003, 14:15:21: k.s yes i would love some help scripting it. sorry didnt catch what you was saying previously about scripting.
