Having issues with bomb planting and engineers building tool

[Devenddar]

@Herr_Luetnant7

For example:

Please add three ` before text and after it. Or two if you want add it for line. You can quote some my message and see structure.

@Herr_Luetnant7

item:t=“cannon_germ_flak38_flakvierling_preview”

It’s not visible because it requires some squad upgrades.

@Devenddar

1 is for engineer squad (if you have anti-air upgrade).

But you can unlock it for everyone. For that need edit building__requireUnlockId.

@Devenddar

Also… Talking about mg. By default it have building__requireUnlockId = 3. Which disable building if engineer & squad don’t have stationary mg upgrade. But you can unlock it. For that need override entity and set property to -1.

sandbags_wall_mg_preview{
  _override:b=yes
  building__requireUnlockId:i=-1
}

@Herr_Luetnant7

Ill be honest, im a little confused about this. I have just copy and pasted that entity into the entities.blk but still no mg. is it different code for the sandbags_wall_mg?

Uh… Well… I’m too confused now. No need add this code right now. Usually sandbag_wall_mg_preview already have mg 42 on it.

@Herr_Luetnant7

The other thing is, creating an mg position that actual has a stationary mg on it. As upon building the mg position example (sandbags_wall_mg) is does not have the stationary mg with it.

Maybe you just didn’t saw it in list, because it was locked?

@Herr_Luetnant7

usa have only one building tool gun

uk_building_tool_gun is too for usa army. Try to edit it?

Also are you upload scene.blk or zip file?

sandbags_wall_mg{
_override:b=yes

That’s the way i have set it up. wrong?

@Devenddar

Usually sandbag_wall_mg_preview already have mg 42 on it.

Yeah not getting the mg when building…

@Devenddar

Also are you upload scene.blk or zip file?

Scene.blk directly from usergamemods

[Devenddar]

Talking about ` i meant use three for big code like here:

Or for two for line like here: .

@Herr_Luetnant7

item:t=“sandbags_wall_mg_preview”

For unlock it you need edit sandbags_wall_mg_preview, like here:

@Devenddar

sandbags_wall_mg_preview{
  _override:b=yes
  building__requireUnlockId:i=-1
}

Why? Because sandbags_wall_mg is final result, but it’s not thing/preview that you build.

@Herr_Luetnant7

Scene.blk directly from usergamemods

You will need upload zip if you want upload mod with entities. For that need click on Toolbox → Build Commands → Build Zip. After that you will able see zip file in userGameMods.

[Herr_Luetnant7]

@Devenddar

For that need click on Toolbox → Build Commands → Build Zip.

OH! Thank you thank you.

So this is what i am using on the USA side with no success in the actual mission in game as far as entities… Any suggestions on what it could be thats preventing it? I used the zip file as you explained to me.

@Devenddar

Why? Because sandbags_wall_mg is final result, but it’s not thing/preview that you build.

Okay thank you that worked and makes sense now

@Herr_Luetnant7

Usually sandbag_wall_mg_preview already have mg 42 on it.

Your right it did, i was mixing up another preview so mg position is now working in the editor at least, thank you.

[Herr_Luetnant7]

Also, i read in this article/question Rally point distance and respawn time trade off that you cant change rally point distance from objective??? is that true?

[Herr_Luetnant7]

Also, I noticed that there was an annoying issue with the battle areas. Can the battle areas overlap each other? Im finding that even though the objective has been taken, and it wants you to advance to the next one, your still gonna die as it recognizes you in the previous battle area?

[Herr_Luetnant7]

I was hoping to add an mg42 to “sanbags_wall_5” so it sits as seen in the image… is such a thing possible?

[Herr_Luetnant7]

@Herr_Luetnant7

So this is what i am using on the USA side with no success in the actual mission in game as far as entities

what the actual mission in game gives me which is not the same

[Devenddar]

You can change it. In testing mode you can set preview and then in editor mode check properties.

Available area for build may be different. It depends on capture point types.

@Herr_Luetnant7

Also, I noticed that there was an annoying issue with the battle areas. Can the battle areas overlap each other?

…Yes? I usually use only poly battle areas.

@Herr_Luetnant7

Im finding that even though the objective has been taken, and it wants you to advance to the next one, your still gonna die as it recognizes you in the previous battle area?

Probably you didn’t set correctly groupNames? Or it’s instantly disappear after you capture point? I’m sorry if misunderstood you…

@Herr_Luetnant7

I was hoping to add an mg42 to “sanbags_wall_5” so it sits as seen in the image… is such a thing possible?

Y-yeah. It’s possible to do. For that you will need to make seperate entity or edit sandbags_wall_5 and add something like it:

@Devenddar

  "additiveBuildings:array"{

    "item:object"{
      template:t="builded_stationary_mg42_with_autodetach"
      tm:m=[[-1.62921e-07, 0.0, 1.0] [0.0119619, 0.999928, 1.94885e-09] [-0.999928, 0.0119619, -1.62909e-07] [-0.210993, 1.01037, -0.72921]]
      additiveUp:p3=0.0, 1.0, 0.0
    }
  }

You also can edit sandbags_wall_5_preview, but need replace builded_stationary_mg42_with_autodetach by stationary_mg42_building_additive_preview.

And… Sorry. Currently I can’t help with mg position (with tm and additiveUp properties). “Lastest one box” contains info about position. First three relate rotation and scale.

@Herr_Luetnant7

what the actual mission in game gives me which is not the same

Weird. I’ll recheck it a bit later. But probably you didn’t edit some engineer tools?

[Herr_Luetnant7]

@Devenddar

You can change it. In testing mode you can set preview and then in editor mode check properties.

…
uk_rallypoint_preview{
_override:b=yes
building_builder_minDistanceToCapturePoints:r=100
}
…

I though that would do it but no, still able to build closer. i was able to edit the preview of what i was building but it never saves?

[Herr_Luetnant7]

@Devenddar

You also can edit sandbags_wall_5_preview, but need replace builded_stationary_mg42_with_autodetach by stationary_mg42_building_additive_preview.

…sandbags_wall_5_preview{
_override:b=yes
building_builder__maxTimeToBuild:r=7.0
building_menu__text:t=“sandbag_position”
building__requireUnlockId:i=-1
}

“additiveBuildings:array”{

"item:object"{
  template:t="stationary_mg42_building_additive_preview"

}
}…

so this?

[Herr_Luetnant7]

Artillery cooldown seems to be an issue as well… cant find any forums on extending the cooldown

[Devenddar]

@Herr_Luetnant7

still able to build closer.

Hmmm… Try to edit other preview?

@Herr_Luetnant7

i was able to edit the preview of what i was building but it never saves?

Yeah. It’s have [Genereated]. It means that object will be not saved in scene. And anyways… It will not affect to previews.

@Herr_Luetnant7

so this?

Is… Pain to read this code. Looks like yes, but it’s not inside sandbags_wall_5_preview, because you closed body after building__requireUnlockId:i=-1. I mean that you need move

@Herr_Luetnant7

}

to after latest

@Herr_Luetnant7

}

Talking about code.

@Herr_Luetnant7

…

Almost right, but use `

@Herr_Luetnant7

Artillery cooldown seems to be an issue as well… cant find any forums on extending the cooldown

Well… Yeah. You can edit it. IIRC cooldowns are in enlisted_player.

Also you can give to team more artillery slots. For that need edit artillery properties in team entities (you can do it in editor).

[Herr_Luetnant7]

@Herr_Luetnant7

Looks like yes, but it’s not inside sandbags_wall_5_preview, because you closed body after building__requireUnlockId:i=-1. I mean that you need move

Sorry bro i dont understand the code thing with … and ’

so the above code gives me an error and cant load editor. im guessing thats wrong too

[Devenddar]

@Herr_Luetnant7

You forgot add }. So code will probably looks like:

sandbags_wall_5_preview{
  _override:b=yes
  building_builder__maxTimeToBuild:r=7.0
  building_menu__text:t=“sandbag_position”
  building__requireUnlockId:i=-1

    additiveUp:p3=0.0, 1.0, 0.0
    }
  }
}

Talking about ` you did it almost right in this code:

@Herr_Luetnant7

"item:object"{
  template:t="stationary_mg42_building_additive_preview"
  tm:m=[[-1.62921e-07, 0.0, 1.0] [0.0119619, 0.999928, 1.94885e-09] [-0.999928, 0.0119619, -1.62909e-07] [-0.210993, 1.01037, -0.72921]]
  additiveUp:p3=0.0, 1.0, 0.0

Well… It should looks like here (screenshot):

[Herr_Luetnant7]

@Devenddar

Well… Yeah. You can edit it. IIRC cooldowns are in enlisted_player.

so tried this, but now i cant spawn squads in test mode apparently… no active squads are visible to respawn…

[Herr_Luetnant7]

[Herr_Luetnant7]

@Devenddar

Well… It should looks like here (screenshot):

The mg42 did show up on the preview but did not spawn on the sandbags. It was also just off to the right too much… which numbers change its position to center it more?

[Devenddar]

Ah. You can edit enlisted_player only in entities. I meant only artillery limit you can edit in editor.

…Well… Try to remove enlisted_player and do restart?

@Herr_Luetnant7

The mg42 did show up on the preview but did not spawn on the sandbags.

You need also edit sandbags (not preview).

@Herr_Luetnant7

It was also just off to the right too much… which numbers change its position to center it more?

Well… It’s probably: tm:m=[[...] [...] [...] [x, z, y]]. So probably you need a bit decrease first number in “latest box”.
