Groundobject to Target types?

I want to take an M1A1 and place it in a target area.

 

I have found that unless it's in my XXXX_types.ini, it will not appear.

 

How do I get a Ground Object to become a Target type?

Think its something like this:

 

In types for example:

 

[TargetTypexxx]

Name=M48A3

FullName=M48A3 Tank

TargetType=MISC

ActiveYear=0

TargetValue=0

UseGroundObject=TRUE

GroundObjectType=M48A3

RepairRate=0.555

StartDetectChance=0

StartIdentifiedChance=0

IncreaseDetectChanceKey=0

MaxVisibleDist=8000.0

DestroyedEffect=MediumFire

SecondaryEffect=SmallRocketGroundExplosion

SecondaryChance=100

 

 

Then in targets:

 

Target[xxx].Type=yourobject

Target[xxx]Offset=xx,xx

Target[xxx].Heading=x

The only thing different, or what I can add to that is, make sure the active year is the same as the ServiceStartYear= from the Abram's data ini.

Same for any other 'parked vehicles' , excpeting truck or jeeps.

 

GroundObjectType= MUST always match the folder name of the GO in question.

Do the .LOD and .OUT files need to be moved from the GO's folder to the Terrain folder.

 

Because I'm trying what you're telling me to do with no positive results. The GO is not appearing.

 

Hang on a second and I'll be back with the Target area information and you can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Target[136].Heading=180

 

Wrench, you will recognze it as your Camp Dido from the Libyan terrain. I've simply replaced the M48A2 with the M1A1 and the M113 with the Bradley.

 

Except the Bradley and M1 do not appear.

AAAARGH!

 

Why is this not working? It's as if the original Target Types .ini file won't allow ANYTHING other than the original lines of text. This is steadily pissing me off!

Do the Abrams and Bradleys show up in CAS missions? Has the main ini (ie: M1A1.ini) been updated to the post patch 3 standard.

 

Meaning, if you open it, it looks like this:

 

[GroundObjectData]

ObjectFullName=M1A1 Abrams MBT

ObjectDataFile=M1A1_Data.INI

 

I seem to recall neither the Abrams nor Bradley, when original release had been updated.

 

Same for the Bardley's ini:

 

[GroundObjectData]

ObjectFullName=M3A1 Bradly CFV

ObjectDataFile=M3A1_data.ini

 

What I would have done, is make sure the objects (the Patton's) showed up first before swapping out the tanks/AFVs. If they show up, the problem is the Abrams and Bradley.

I assume the trucks are showing up??

I can get literally anything you added to the libya_types.ini file to show up.

 

If I try to add anything to that .ini files, TU.

Check your numbering of the targets & types inis ... this is a mistake I've made sooooo many times, I just can't count (pun intended)

 

At worst, you'll have to zip up the whole terraian and let me look at it.

Checking thoroughly...again.

 

I may burn this off and snail mail it to you.

Wrench, here's a wierd one.

 

The Abrams, Bradleys, and newer Russian Tanks and AFVs will show up if I go into the XXXX_types.ini file and REPLACE something like the T-55 with a T-72A. Then they show up. It's as if the file is saying, 'OK, after the end of the original number of target types, you're finished. No more new ones.'

 

Sta-range....

My guess is like Wrench said, a numbering issue. Go to the end of the stock objects and check the numbering from the last object to the new ones.

Amount of objects isn't a problem...I belive TK said the max possible may be 999. I've personelaly never gone over 250.

 

I didn't have any problems getting the Abrams and Bradley to show up on the DS map....

Same with the T-72s at Iragi bases (no pic, sorry)

 

It has got to be a numbering issue somewhere. You are flying within the operational years of the tanks??

EDIT: take a closer look at Target053...I think that's your problem

OK, I got it working. This is my new FARP I'm working on.

 

Now, another thing, I can't get the ground-based radar emplacements to engage. I wiped out the SA-3s, they were too problematic, and I'm sticking with the StraightFlush/SA-6 layout.

 

Trouble is, I know they're in the area and I get no RWR warning.
