Building destruct effects

[Aplion]

Thromp thanks a lot mate and sorry for late reply ... I'll make some tests and I'll come back with results.

ok I've made some tests and now I have the smoke I want so thank you very much again Thromp ... but regardless any movement I've made to the Dampos memory point in order to compensate the offset position of the ruins model, nothing changed ... is there any change to be locked in position somehow by default ?

Also if its possible I would like to ask a way (except smoke) to produce some fire upon building destruction ... is it possible ?

[Aplion]

Well problems are never end ... as I said thanks to Thromp I have the amount of smoke destruction effect I want ... so I decided to build my own ruin instead using one of BIS defaults ...

I made the p3d and according (at least I believe) Thromp example I've tried to make it work ... but no !! ... my ruin model is not showing when my building falling down !! ... I can't figured out what I'm doing wrong so for one more time I'm giving the config I use ...

[Thromp]

you can simply use my config if you wish and rename apilon

look in arma.rpt it will show you exact erro , it might just be simple path error mate

[Aplion]

But Thromp have a better look ...

I have already defined ...

class Ruins;
class Land_build2_ruin: Ruins {
scope = protected;
vehicleClass = "Ruins";
model = "APLION_buildings\build1\ruins\build2_ruin";
displayName = "MyRuins1";
};

and after that in my model ...

class DestructionEffects : DestructionEffects
{
class Ruin1
{
simulation = "ruin";
/*type = "ca\structures\ruins\ruin_01"; */
type = "APLION_buildings\build1\ruins\build2_ruin";
position = "Dampos";
intensity = 1;
interval = 1;
lifeTime = 1;
};

};

isn't enough ? or I missed something ?

[Thromp]

sorry mate didnt see on ipad , on pc now
check arma.rpt after blow house and then show here what it says

only thing i see is this

class HouseBase;
class House: HouseBase
{
class DestructionEffects;
};
class All; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< hmmm
class Ruins;

class all would come before house so you are maybe changiung inheritance and lose something , wild guess

try like this

class HouseBase; // External class reference

class House : HouseBase {
class DestructionEffects; // External class reference
};
class Ruins; // External class reference

[Aplion]

Nope ... I have removed the "class All;" but still nothing ....

[Thromp]

hmmm in baseobject
change

class APLION_Base_Object : House {
scope = 0;

change
to
scope = 1;

also pls put here arma.rpt

[Aplion]

Because I'm running some more addons at same time it will be difficult to give here the whole RPT ... so I found and giving the error regarding the ruins model (from RPT inside).

Cannot create entity with abstract type Land_build2_ruin (scope = private?)
Cannot create non-ai vehicle Land_build2_ruin,aplion_buildings\build1\ruins\bui ld2_ruin.p3d
Failed ruin creation: type Land_build2_ruin

hmmm in baseobject
change

change
to
scope = 1;

also pls put here arma.rpt

Nope ... the "scope" value didn't change anything ... unfortunatelly ..

[Thromp]

hmm try change this
/*extern*/ class DestructionEffects;

to
class DestructionEffects : DestructionEffects {};

or

class DestructionEffects : DestructionEffects
{

class Ruin1
{
simulation = "ruin";
/*type = "ca\structures\ruins\ruin_01"; */
type = "APLION_buildings\build1\ruins\build2_ruin";
position = "Dampos";
intensity = 1;
interval = 1;
lifeTime = 1;
};


};

[Aplion]

but if I'll do this then I'll not have class DestructionEffects defined !!

Sorry I'm not sure that I can understand what and where exactly must change something ...
