Do you mean law, rpg, at4, carl gustav ...etc etc ......type launchers?

If so, they tend to have 5 Resolution LODs, a Memory LOD and a View Pilot LOD.

They are all proxies btw.

The launcher models that are not proxies tend to have less.........2 or 3 Resolution LODs and a Geometry LOD.

I don't know of any tutorial that deals with this particulat type of weapon.

Try looking at BIS's LAW_proxy.p3d in Oxygen for example.

You will get an idea then of what is required in the way of LODs.

Here is the entry for the LAW Launcher from the game config.

Code: [Select]

class LAWLauncher:Default
   {
      scopeWeapon=2;
      scopeMagazine=2;
      weaponType=16;
      magazineType="2 *       256";
      valueWeapon=10;
      valueMagazine=5;
      model="law_proxy";
      modelOptics="optika_LAW";
      ammo="LAW";
      displayName="$STR_DN_LAW";
      displayNameMagazine="$STR_MN_LAW";
      shortNameMagazine="$STR_SN_LAW";
      count=1;
      magazineReloadTime=12;
      reloadTime=0.5;
      sound[]={"Weapons\at_launch",0.01,1};
      reloadMagazineSound[]={"Weapons\at_load",0.0003162,1};
      initSpeed=30;
      canLock=0;
      reloadAction=manactreloadat;
      autoReload=0;
      ffMagnitude=0.1;
      ffFrequency=1;
      ffCount=1;
      recoil="LAWSingle";
      aiRateOfFire=10.0;
      aiRateOfFireDistance=500;
      optics=1;
      primary=0;
      opticsZoomMin=0.18;
      opticsZoomMax=0.18;
      distanceZoomMin=100;
      distanceZoomMax=100;
      uiPicture="islaw";
   };

Maybe that will help a little.

The RPG, Carl Gustav, both inherit from class LawLauncher.

AT4, AA, AT3 inherit from CarlGustav...etc etc
