Static Barrier Config

[RichardsD]

Hello gentlemen:

After making a tutorial addon, I decided I would try and make something with some mild useful-ness. I built and textured a TBarrier. When I put it in game as classed as "Thing" although it weighed over 2000KG any car, or even bullets could knock it over, and push it. I need it so it does not move at all, and can take substantial punishment before falling over. I tried this on my config, but to no avail. I cannot find it anywhere in the editor under this setting.

class CfgPatches
{
    class DAR_Wall
    {
        units[] = {"DAR_Wall"};
        weapons[] = {};
        requiredVersion = 0.1;
        requiredAddons[] = {"CAData"};
    };
};
class CfgVehicles
{
    class Static;
    class DAR_Wall: Static
    {
        scope = 2;
        displayName = "TBarrier Wall";
        model = "\DAR_TBar\DAR_TBar.p3d";
        armor = 200000;
    };
}; 

Thank you.

destrType = "DestructNo"; (no damage) or
destrType = "DestructBuilding"; (then you can see the black dots, if the bulletts hit your target

and i mean you have to do

class CfgVehicles
{
    class Static;
    class Land_DAR_Wall: Static 
....
};

And dont forget to set a "mass" in the geo-lod!! How to do look here: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/M...#Geometry_LOD:

Hello, and thank you for the response. I set a mass of like.. 10k kgs in the Geo LOD while making, didn't seem to make a difference. I shall try this solution and see how it works.

Hello, and thank you for the response. I set a mass of like.. 10k kgs in the Geo LOD while making, didn't seem to make a difference. I shall try this solution and see how it works.

Alright.. I've taken a slightly different direction with the config, and although I incorporated your fixes, I STILL cannot find the silly thing in the editor!!

Posting config again..

class CfgPatches {
    class dar_objects {
        units[] = {"DAR_Wall"};
        weapons[] = {""};

    };
};

class cfgVehicleClasses {
    class dar_objects {
        displayName = "DAR Objects";
    };
};

class CfgVehicles {
    class House;
    
class DAR_Wall: House {
    vehicleClass = "dar_objects";
    accuracy = 0.2;    // accuracy needed to recognize type of this target
    scope = public;
    simulation = "House";
    camouflage = 10;    // how dificult to spot - bigger - better spotable
    Audible = 10;    // audible - bigger - better heard
    mapSize = 0.2;
    cost = 1000;

        // threat (VSoft, VArmor, VAir), how threatening vehicle is to unit types
    threat[] = {1, 1, 1};
        
        armor = 5000;
    irtarget = false;
    destrType = "DestructNo";
    lasertarget = false;
    side = TCivilian;
    displayName = "T Barrier";
    animated = false;
    model = "\dar_objects\DAR_TBar.p3d";
    };
};

Change it to

class CfgVehicleClasses {
class dar_objectsVehicleClass {
displayName = "DAR Objects";
};


{
class house; //loading the basics
class Land_DAR_Wall : House
{
vehilceClass = "dar_objects"; // that shows the defined name in cfgvehilceclass >> DAR Objects<<
model="xxx\xxx\dar_wall.p3d"; // thats the folder to your model
display = "DAR Wall"; // that shows you DAR WALL if you have open DAR Objects
...
};

[RichardsD]

So, like this?

class Land_DAR_Wall: House {
    vehicleClass = "dar_objects"; 

(Omitted rest of config above and below line 18)

that shows the defined name in cfgvehilceclass

wait,, what? I need to define this custom or something?

How does this look?

class CfgPatches {
    class dar_objects {
        units[] = {"DAR_Wall"};
        weapons[] = {""};

    };
};

class CfgVehicleClasses {
class dar_objectsVehicleClass {
displayName = "DAR Objects";
};
};

{
class house; //loading the basics
class Land_DAR_Wall : House
{
vehilceClass = "dar_objects"; // that shows the defined name in cfgvehilceclass >> DAR Objects<<
model="xxx\xxx\dar_wall.p3d"; // thats the folder to your model
display = "DAR Wall"; // that shows you DAR WALL if you have open DAR Objects

};
};

class CfgVehicles {
    class House;
    
class DAR_Wall: House {
    vehicleClass = "dar_objects";
    accuracy = 0.2;    // accuracy needed to recognize type of this target
    scope = public;
    simulation = "House";
    camouflage = 10;    // how dificult to spot - bigger - better spotable
    Audible = 10;    // audible - bigger - better heard
    mapSize = 0.2;
    cost = 1000;

        // threat (VSoft, VArmor, VAir), how threatening vehicle is to unit types
    threat[] = {1, 1, 1};
        
        armor = 5000;
    irtarget = false;
    destrType = "DestructNo";
    lasertarget = false;
    side = TCivilian;
    displayName = "T Barrier";
    animated = false;
    model = "\dar_objects\DAR_TBar.p3d";
    };
};

Try this

class CfgPatches
{
    class dar_objects
    {
        units[] = {"DAR_Wall"};
        weapons[] = {};
        requiredVersion = 0.1;
        requiredAddons[] = {"CAData"};
    };
};

class CfgVehicleClasses
{
    class dar_objects
    {
        displayName = "DAR Objects";
    };
};

class CfgVehicles
{
    class House;
    class DAR_Wall: House//Wall
    {
        scope = 2;
        displayName = "T Barrier";
        vehicleClass = "dar_objects";
        model = "\dar_objects\DAR_TBar.p3d";
        mapSize = 0.2;
        cost = 1000;
        armor = 5000;
        destrType = "DestructNo";
    };
};

Thank you both for the assistance!

I'm currently putting the final finishes on my first addon.. Once I figure out how to make keys I will distribute my first addon!

I'll get some photos soon..

Q's example is nearly 100% correct. Please, always when you create objects, use the LAND_ tag, it will make it easier for terrain makers to use your objects if they wish to.

    class land_DAR_TBar: House//Wall 
    { 
        scope = 2; 
        displayName = "T Barrier"; 
        vehicleClass = "dar_objects"; 
        model = "\dar_objects\DAR_TBar.p3d"; 
        mapSize = 0.2; 
        cost = 1000; 
        armor = 5000; 
        destrType = "DestructNo"; 
    };

That's it.

To recap, use "LAND_" and then suffix it with your .p3d's name, but without the .p3d extension.
