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.

ok thanks, is there a tutorial on how to make a launcher then, ive got the model sorted but i need to sort the LODs and stuff espically the "view pilot" lod

[Planck]

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.

cheers,

tried that and i reckon ive sorted it out but now im stumped on how im going to write the config

[Planck]

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
