Minigun magazine

[Plane]

Now I'm making a M134 minigun and I want the Picture of it's magazine take 4 places (As size of 4 M16 mags).
And I used the "magazinetype="4*256";" in the config.cpp.
But OFP crashed when reading my addon.

 
What's the problem? Can anyone help me?

[RujiK]

Woah! That thing is sweet!
Personally I have no experience in object editing so I cant help you, but I look forward too the release of that gun!

Try changing magazinetype to:

magazineType = WeaponSlotItem;

I'm assuming 256 means the number of bullets per magazine.  To have each magazine contain 256 bullets, put this in the CfgWeapon part of the config:

count=256;

Hopefully this will keep OFP from crashing, but I'm not sure if it will solve your problem.  I'm not sure what defines how many slots a magazine takes up.

EDIT:

Ok, I have been looking through the commented config, and hopefully have the answer to your question

magazineType = WeaponSlotItem;

This will make the magazine take up one slot

magazineType = 2 * WeaponSlotItem;

This will make the magazine take up two slots.

So adjusting the multiplier will adjust the number of slots the magazine takes up.

Good! :thumbsup:
I used the following command:

magazineType = 2 * WeaponSlotItem;

And it works, but I change the multiplier to 3 and I've tried 4, OFP also crashes.

If someone reply me,you can also leave your e-mail address.I'll sent you when release! :gunman:

This may be a game engine limitation.  Operation Flashpint may only allow magazines to take up 1, 2, and 6 slots.  I haven't seen any other magazine that takes up 3, 4, or 5 slots.  I'll keep checking and see if I can find a definite answer.

The UKF law launcher has a round that takes up 4 spaces. I think  

[Pilot]

Really?  Ok, then forget my last post

Make sure you typed it exactly as I have it here:

Code: [Select]

magazineType = 4 * WeaponSlotItem;
If that doesn't work, download the UKF law launcher and see how they did it.

I also found ICP's RPG-26 magazine take 4 places, it uses "magazinetype= 4 * 256;" in config.

I also tried "magazinetype= 4 * 100;" in my Minigun config, OFP didn't crash but Magazine take only one slot but not 4 slots.
And "magazinetype= 4 * WeaponSlotItem;" also cause OFP crashes.

Is the problem in the head of config:
"#denife WeaponSlotItem     256//"
 

[Planck]

denife???

I think that should be define

Yeah,sorry for the spelling mistake.

I tried "magazinetype= 6 * 100" but it only take 2 slots.
"magazinetype= 4 * WeaponSlotItem;" will cause OFP crashes.

And is MM-1 take 8 slots?but its config use bin file. I can't open it.

[Pilot]

Can you post the config for ICP's RPG-26?

[Planck]

Here is a portion of the relevant config for MM-1.

Code: [Select]

class Mm1Base:GrenadeLauncher
      {
      scopeWeapon=1;
      scopeMagazine=1;
      weaponType="1 +    16";
      magazineType="8 *          256";
      displayName="$STR_DN_MM1";
      displayNameMagazine="$STR_DN_MM1";
      shortNameMagazine="$STR_DN_MM1";
      count=12;
      reloadTime=0.5;
      magazineReloadTime=12;
      model="\MM-1\MM-1";
      modelOptics="\MM-1\optika_MM-1";
      picture="\MM-1\mm-1.paa";
      revolving="buben";
      revolvingAxis="osa_buben";
      };

Uh, this is only a guess, but:

Maybe your weapon has to be defined as a lawlauncher or a grenade launcher?

Code: [Select]

class CfgWeapons
{
   class Default {};
   class LAWLauncher: Default {};
   class Yourweapon: LAWLauncher

[Plane]

if I config my gun to LAWlauncher,it will be on the shoulder then.

Then I config weapon to "weapontype=1+16;" and magazine to "magazinetype= 4 * WeaponSlotItem;" will cause it crash again.

So I think its "class Default{};" problem, so is anyone know much about "Parents-child-relation" on weapon type, please help me!
