Re: Mortar deployment method

Okay here's what Ive done so far to get the bots to deploy mortars.

constructed a dummy navalarmourdummy object for bots to target
I chose naval because its pretty well unused.

modified dnamro's MortarAI so that bots have to get real close to shoot the dummy with the mortar(ie. deploy) use isThrown essential I think.

up deviation and precision values for MortarAI (this means they wont lay down to deploy and they spam
the dummy constantly, and deploy immediately)

Increased strength of engineer class in general otherwise they wont spawn because they dont care about navalarmour.

Made eng kit only kit effective against navalarmour. And also Mortars only weapon effective against navalarmour. (mainly just to prevent other bots killing my dummys with m79 etc.)

So in order to get the bots to stop deploying the mortar you have to make it so that they can kill the dummy object. And this is what Im having trouble with I've tried messing around with materials, and seriously lowered the Health and the mass of the dummy object. (reason mortar takes more damage than the dummy when you deploy it on the dummy.

in a hurry so this will have to do,.. I will edit this post (trim the code fat, an inaccuracies) dont bother replying to this until I have plz

PS (was going to make this a sub topic, is that possible)

Good stuff D. Good topic Rogan.

OK have found out some interesting stuff.

My main problem is having the bots kill the dummy just by placing the mortar on it.
The secret lies in the material number of the object......HOWEVER.... after exhausting all possibilities I realized that something fishy was going on. On a hunch I loaded up the 3ds tools and looked at some of the objects I was using. The material is set by the geometry in probably all cases which means no matter how you play with the material numbers, nothings gonna happen. So I edited the geometry of the crate I was using and turned it into a flesh object (no. 40) edit- The I think the main problem with tryin to use flesh 40 or 41 is it has special properties,ie. collision must occur at over 8 meters per second or no collision damage will occur after loading up I discovered I could now kill this object by shooting or knifing or whatever. Not just by an explosion, because it was using whatever hard coded material the original geometry had. probably 47 (land-based static object armour i think ???)

OK anyone know anything about these numbers Ive done a search for all of the material types in the con files and there definitely seems to be some correlation there. Do you think these numbers are a bitfield, thats what I was thinking a byte of bits for different properties (but napalm goes past 256) , or do they just reference hard coded material types?

hmmm what are the damage2 materials, projectile only damages objects with material x??

damgeType 0 or 1 seems to be contact based or velocity based

EDIT:- Ooh Ooh Ooh !!! TWO WORDS, "m a t e r i a l m a n a g e r" , very interesting, I love answering my own questions
mdt tutorial
[indent] ^ I could never find these things the link was always dead, hmmm what else they got


anyways the other really interesting thing I discovered is that when you up the combat strength of the Mortar bots really wanna get on em right? RIGHT! they will even attempt to hop on the bloody things as soon as you whip em out. GET THIS, the mortar is a vehicle the bots will hop on while your still carrying it. You can carry another dude around in your KIT!!!!!!!!!!! HILARIOUS. Not to mention the possibilities this implies, Stretchers Fireman carry/piggy back/ absolutely great for medics. Just a shame about the fact the mortar blows as soon as you deploy with a dude on it, but with some tweaking im sure............................
