Title: Cloud class and custom proxys
Post by: DE on 29 Jan 2003, 14:48:15

Hi, I have two problems...
 
1) I need to know if there is a tutorial explaining how to customise the Clouds class for a weapon.

2) I customised a 5tdriver proxy and I save it in my oddon folder (its a AAV)... how the hell i tell to de OFP engine that i want to use my proxy and not those who are in the data3d folder.

Thx, and spelling... well english is a foerign langauge for me.

I am so stuck on this subject aswel, been looking for 3+ hours to find one good tutorial wich explains custom proxies from start to finish;/

(my problem: created a plane and added 2 hellfire proxies and a hellfire model, mphellfirelauncher as weapon, when trying to run a test mission ingame it says cannot find hellfirelauncher in data3d or something like that)

Someone please point us to a nice tutorial on proxies!! =)
Thanks in advance

Hey guys

The only proxy related tutorial that comes into my mind right now is this one: http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard301/ikonboard.cgi?s=3e3e47e7352effff;act=ST;f=50;t=22458 (http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard301/ikonboard.cgi?s=3e3e47e7352effff;act=ST;f=50;t=22458).

I suggest you dissect a couple of addons, and figure it out yourselves. It looks pretty simple to me. Although soldier proxies are uncommon, i can tell you BIS used a custom gunner proxy in the Ch47 addon. It's "CH47gunner.p3d", which contains a single (resolution) LOD (see picture).
The config for the proxy looks like this:

class CfgNonAIVehicles
{
   class ProxyCrew {};
   class ProxyGunner: ProxyCrew {};
   class ProxyCh47Gunner: ProxyGunner {};
};

..and the name of the proxy in "CH-47D.p3d" is "proxy:ch47gunner.01".

IliekBIGboom: i think you forgot to define the proxy in your .cpp.

Hope it helps..
