Able to break windows without weapons

[JinougaF]

I feel it was very necessary for us to break a window without waste the ammo of our weapons.Like in real life we could use the stock of our rifles to break a window.

[PabstMirror]

Based on AGM_Interaction_fnc_getDoor, seemed to be working on stratis, but more testing needed.

Don't forget AiA buildings ... if applicable

[PabstMirror]

Updated above code to fix a few bugs.

I think everything in Stratis, Altis will be fine, but some buildings in AiA just aren't going to work. They need entries in (class HitPoints) to work. And I don't think most A2 stuff has them (although a lot of A2 buildings avoid glass by either being pre-shattered or just have windows without glass.

Sahrani seems to be fine, I think SMD guys have put a lot of love into redoing all the buildings to proper A3 configs.

Is this something AGM wants?

[commy2]

Pretty cool, but the animation makes it look weird. I wouldn't break glass with my hands...

[commy2]

I like this. v0.95?

[JinougaF]

I don't know anything about modding,but if someone have already made a function to break the glass without fire weapons,would it be easy to just change the animation?

[jonpas]

Yes, if a suitable animation is found.

[JinougaF]

How about this animation?Use the stock to break windows. http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag307/FrontJinouga/arma3_2014_11_05_14_32_28_764_zpsb44b3843.jpg

[KoffeinFlummi]

Is that animation in the game already? If so, what is it called?

[JinougaF]

It's an animation from MOCAP melee mod,here's the link:http://makearmanotwar.com/entry/aZDNVtbCpA

[commy2]

I'll add this functionality once we have an animation for it.

[Dorak]

This feature was already requested in the said MOCAP mod.

http://109.120.135.75:8080/redmine/issues/4

Maybe you can ask the author to use his animation, since you already have the script.

Cheers.

[PabstMirror]

Code above updated again.

Testing in MP revealed some weird behavior, houses on the map (from the wrp) are local to everyone apparently. Houses manually placed (from the sqm) are local just to the server.

Doing setHitPointDamage only had local effects on map houses. It also wasn't syncing up with JIPs. Both fixed with AGM_Core_fnc_execPersistentFnc.

MOCAP is APA-Share Alike. I'll try and get a hold of the author and see if he would be ok with trading code for animation.

[commy2]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setHitPointDamage

setHitPointDamage requires the object to be local, but you can't use: [any ,"any", _house] call AGM_Core_fnc_execRemote; , because all map objects are streamed. That means they exist seperately on every machine that has an nearby unit (inside the view distance) and the server.

Every time you use AGM_Core_fnc_execPersistentFnc you'll pile up functions that will be executed upon JIP. Maybe you can avoid that by changing the paramters of AGM_Core_fnc_execRemote.

What happens if you use: [any ,"any", 1] call AGM_Core_fnc_execRemote; or [any ,"any", 2] call AGM_Core_fnc_execRemote; instead?

1 should execute it on the server, while 2 should execute it on every machine (including the server and the caller). Maybe one of those is enough.

[PabstMirror]

With AGM_Core_fnc_execRemote: 1 - only the server sees the glass break 2- works fine initially, but when someone JIPs in they don't see any glass broken

So I think we need persistent calls for JIPs. I see this as being lighly used, but theresn't nothing stopping someone from punching 100 windows and the persistent publicVariable will grow large.

Had an Idea to use physx to break the windows:

class CfgAmmo {
    class BulletBase ;
    class WindowPopper: BulletBase  {
        hit = 50;
        timeToLive = 0.05;  //40 M/S * 0.05 sec should be about 2 meters max
    };
};
xx = "WindowPopper" createVehicle (getpos player);
_position0 = positionCameraToWorld [0, 0, 0.25];
_position1 = positionCameraToWorld [0, 0, 1.25];

xx setPos _position0;
_vel = _position1 vectorDiff _position0;
_vel = _vel vectorMultiply 40;

xx setVelocity _vel;

But it looks like BIS doesn't synchronize windows very will for jips. Only about half of the shot up windows were broken when reconnecting. Even when shooting 'normal' bullets from a gun.

[nicolasbadano]

But it looks like BIS doesn't synchronize windows very will for jips

If that's the case, I think there's no reason to take the trouble ourselves. I would suggest using [any ,"any", 2] call AGM_Core_fnc_execRemote; and calling it a day.
