Patriot Missile

[modderman]

Im working on a Patriot Missile Launcher, and i need some help....
Is there anyway to get proxy weapons to rotate with the gun turrent...?

I'm guessing no, so i tried a static approach with scripts....
where the missile is part of the turrent and set the missile texture to nothing when it is fired....

I did the "sections" command in the .cpp
class CfgModels
{   
   class Default {};
   class Vehicle: Default {};
   class Patriot: Vehicle    
   {
   sectionsInherit="Vehicle";
   sections[]={"zmi01", "zmi02","zmi03","zmi04"};
   };
};

but i cant get the missile to dissapear ....when i use this command...
launcher setobjecttexture[0, ""]

Any help?

Hmmmmmmm........I think you need to declare the hiddenselections in the cfgVehicles section of the config.

hiddenSelections[]={"zmi01", "zmi02","zmi03","zmi04"};

Or something very similar.

I don't think you need to do this setobjtexture stuff.  When you select the points for the turret, be sure to include the proxies with that selection.  If you do that, then the missiles should rotate with the turret.

Was about to suggest http://www.dc3d.co.nz/Tutorials/index.htm
But "the webserver where this was located has lost the files. Hopefully the tutorial will be rewritten soon."... damnit

I got the "hiddenselection" command to work...
but i cant seem to get the proxy way to work.....any ideas.....

p.s how do you create soldiers through a script
i used camcreate & createvehicle, but it crashes after like 10 secs...?
so how do i use the createunit command....
