damage_system of custom map

[maehnaebteheu]

Hi,
I'm trying to edit the damage_system of a custom map by running a *.con with this code

• MaterialManager.attGroup 205
  MaterialManager.defGroup 40
  MaterialManager.damageMod 0
  MaterialManager.setEffectTemplate e_ExplGranade
  
  MaterialManager.attGroup 205
  MaterialManager.defGroup 41
  MaterialManager.damageMod 0
  MaterialManager.setEffectTemplate e_ExplGranade
  
  MaterialManager.attGroup 205
  MaterialManager.defGroup 42
  MaterialManager.damageMod 0
  MaterialManager.setEffectTemplate e_ExplGranade

I want the nades to make no damage versus soldiers. My Problem is that this code will have no effect? I already modded the damage_system of a mod by editing directly the game.rfa. But how to do for a custom map?

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.Active GrenadeAllies
ObjectTemplate.magType 1

ObjectTemplate.Active ExpPack
ObjectTemplate.magType 1 

Will disable the nades.

PS: Use the ServerSideModding Backup for these types of things! A simple search and you can find what you look for!

don't want to disable them. I want them to make damage only versus one specific object (a boat). So I thought I should remove the damage to everything else for example soldiers.

it doesnt work to change the material damage per map basis, atleast i have never got it to work. instead you have to use either another already existing material number that could fit your purposes, or you have to build a new material yourself .

example

Code: Select all

MaterialManager.material 805
MaterialManager.materialAttGroup 805
MaterialManager.materialDefGroup 805
MaterialManager.materialDamage 10


code]MaterialManager.attGroup 805
MaterialManager.defGroup 40
MaterialManager.damageMod 0

thanks this works now. only problem is that i lost the explosion effect by this way. I think I have to link following path new?

MaterialManager.setEffectTemplate e_ExplGranade

and maybe this one?

ObjectTemplate.endEffectTemplate e_ExplGranade

[freddy]

yes, easiest is to copy a whole material setup and just use "find and change" for the numbers with wordpad.

[maehnaebteheu]

can anybody help me with the explosion effect? I also have sometimes the problem when I mod an Object with sound that the sound is gone and don't know how to find the right path for the right sound. Same thing here I think?

[freddy]

if your using the games standard explosion effects it should work ok, same with sounds

if your using own effects or sounds its a different story, however if the sound path is wrong the game usually crash

[maehnaebteheu]

no sorry ... don't know why but for example when I edit the MP40 by running following code in my custom map it will have no sound. I think it's because of the last line?

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.create HandFireArms Mp40
ObjectTemplate.itemIndex 3
ObjectTemplate.projectileTemplate mp40Projectile

[freddy]

well is it a imported weapon or is it already in the mod your running? like Desert Combat. im not familiar with those mods but i guess you can try the long way around with placing all the files needed in your map.

you need all the soundscript files and the wav files for the weapon, put them in your map and see to that they are linked together

map root example:

Code: Select all

load @ROOT/Sound/@RTD/BFMG2.wav

tell you what, its complicated to explain, so if you can, download this map and take a look how its done, the froggy/flettner is the best (tidiest) example, you can decide to cut out the mid and low sound to save time and space but its not recommended.
