Probem with HVA's

02nwilson

I have tried over and over again to position the Voxels in position on my Hover arty, The problem is that i make it so that the turret and the barl are on the axis using the Voxel Offset (I also tried using HVA Positioning) and then open the HVRARTY file to move the turrets in place using HVA postioning (VXL Offset). When i launch the game and see my Hover Arty, is see it with the turret way back and the barl at 45 degrees?? Please help me with this, Also the HVA's of the Turret and barrel reposition them selves after editing the HVRARTY's HVA!!

With the HVA positioning, for a turret, you will want it to be centralised in the x,z plane (front-back, side-side) as this is were the pivot point is for turret rotation.

Also, I find its always better to use voxel offset to position your

With regard to the barrel always orientated at 45'. This is dependant on your ini entries, and weapon types.

if your weapon is Lobber=yes, it's going to make your turret look like crap when it's shooting.

If you look at the deployed artillery and Juggernaut entries, there's some tags they use to adjust this to look properly.

Code:

Artillary=yes
TurretAnim=ART2TUR
TurretAnimIsVoxel=true
TurretAnimX=-8
TurretAnimY=15
TurretAnimZAdjust=-20

I haven't looked into this enough though to be able to tell you exactly how to fix the problem, except trial & error..

..or make it lobber=no

FireAngle= might also be involved.

I was thinking the exact same thing when i read this post, I believe that lobber=yes is your problem. All you can do is change i and see what happens.

Ok thanks Guys ill look into, So your saying that HVA positioning for the Turrets HVA and Voxel Offset for the HVRARTYS Turret! And thanks for the coding tips, I was going to make the tank deploy to use the artillery #Tongue

whilst in a mobile state it fires missiles!

Always use voxel offsets for turret and barrel positioning, only use hva positioning for animations.

Sorted now, i also scratch the barrel and made the turret have a fixed barl as it only needs a barrel when deployed! Anyway thanks for all your help!
