Title: Adding light to a weapon
Post by: Lean Bear on 22 Feb 2005, 21:47:17

OK, I want to put a beam of light on the end of a weapon I made but I'm not entirely sure how to do it.

I've got all the class Smoke and class Light stuff down:



Class CfgWeapons

     class Default {};
     etc. etc.
     class MyWeapon: EtcEtc
     {
           ~normal weapon config stuff~
           
            class Smoke
            {
             } <- There's no ";" here on purpose - would that affect the final result?
     
             class Light
              {
               };
    };
};

Something like that anyway.

Is this the right way to do it? I just did it like how I would if I was making it as a (class) building.

you cant add lights to a weapon, you add them to the soldier ;)

Awww :-\

Then how can I get a light on the end of my weapon? There's always some way of faking it or tricking OFP into thinking something different.

you have to add the points used to make the light in the memory lod, then tie those up with the gun proxy

Does 1 point make light or what? Isn't it just like a plane I can use (like in normal lights)?

Do I do this in the memory lod of the weapon or somehting else?

Also, how do I tie those up with the gun proxy?

In the memory lod of the soldier class not gun cause that wont work ;)
Also the proxy of the gun again on the soldier unit ;)

hmm, I guess my last post didn't work.

The jist of it was:

Is there some tut I can look at which goes over this in more detail?

OK, if not then could one of you two give me a few pointers on how to do it?

Or at least how I can start. :)
