What is the entity number for helicopers?

Hi my friend, I figured out how to add the helicopters in the waves, but it doesnt show the turret? How can I show it? another question, Can I add colored NPC and animals from Arena? I tried but not success 

How can I change the NPC clothes color?

Is there a way the weapons can get random camo after add it in the editor? (like the NPC face does)

Hii Predaaator





You need the correct ArchetypeID, there are diffrent versions of blackhawks for waves. I have four diffrent versions to spawn in waves and one of them has the turret




Yes i think so, you need the archetypeid incl all graphics and stuff. You could send an entry for the editor and i will look into it




You have to find the specific .xbt files and extract it. After that you can edit the files, like the black enemy skins in my mod or my new AK47 skin but i have a friend who made this for me. So i all I had to do with the Black Reskins in my mod is to pack and test it




Yes thats possible. You have to create own archetype ids and add them in the object_inventory. Two ways:
- You have to create own archetypes and spawn the stuff as a group.
- You edit the *.ark.fcb (i mean *.ark.xml) and define there what will happen. If i am right, its under the <object name="Components"> section.


For example a custom FC3 Port i have in my mod:
<Entry Id="groups:Gate_03" Display="FC3 - Gate" SourceType="1" Sync="True" BboxMin="-0.2,-3.81,-0.53" BboxMax="0.2,3.81,1.74" ObjectCost="0">
<Item ArchetypeId="7714384633887" Pos="0,3.55301,0.128241" />
<Item ArchetypeId="7714384600142" Pos="0,3.55301,1.5315" />
<Item ArchetypeId="7714111081889" Pos="0,-3.55298,0" />
</Entry>

let me explain that for you:

Entry Open and close a new entry for the editor.

Id="groups: " With this little and short value at the beginning you can create own entries / objects in the editor, without the need to have an own archetype id. That's how i made custom tanks in my FC3 mod :)

Display=" " I think you know whats this :)  Create an own name displayed in the editor.

SourceType=" " Defines where the editor has to load the stuff from.

Sync=" " Don't know how to explain that correctly... Sorry, english isnt my primary language :)

BboxMin=" " Together with BboxMax, this defines the center of the group in x, y, z axis

BboxMax=" " Together with BboxMin, this defines the center of the group in x, y, z axis

ObjectCost=" " Set the budget cost for the editor.

Item Open and close a new item for the opened, new group entry.

ArchetypeId=" " Defines the object to spawn.

Pos=" " Tells the position of the object in the group entry.

I hope i could help

EDIT:
I had a short view into it. Add here the diffrent models and materials:
(<object name="Model" /> and <object name="MaterialSlots" />)

<object name="Components">
<object name="CModelSelectorComponent">
<object name="Models">

<object name="Model" />

</object>
<object name="FirstPersonModelSkinList">
<object name="Skin">
<object name="MaterialOverrides">

<object name="MaterialSlots" />

</object>
</object>
</object>
</object>
</object>

Heya!




I really dont know, never tryed something like that, sorry




There isnt one with a minigun on the bottom, thats just an animation failure. Check it out in singleplayer
You have to custom-group it with ArchetypeId="7680155431453" - thats how i made it, but custom groups are a pain in the %&£ if you wish to have the correct Pos=""


Fino

Sadly I cant find it anymore, because i made an own archetype for that - because the spawn of custom groups are a bit buggy. Own archetypes are a much better solution





But for example, the following is a custom group. Just fill out the stuff you need:

<Entry Id="groups:" Display="" SourceType="" Sync="" BboxMin="x,y,z" BboxMax="x,y,z" ObjectCost="0">

<Item ArchetypeId="" Pos="x,y,z" />

<Item ArchetypeId="" Pos="x,y,z" />

<Item ArchetypeId="" Pos="x,y,z" />

</Entry>


This is a custom group filled:

<Entry Id="groups:Gate_03" Display="FC3 - Gate" SourceType="1" Sync="True" BboxMin="-0.2,-3.81,-0.53" BboxMax="0.2,3.81,1.74" ObjectCost="0">

<Item ArchetypeId="7714384633887" Pos="0,3.55301,0.128241" />

<Item ArchetypeId="7714384600142" Pos="0,3.55301,1.5315" />

<Item ArchetypeId="7714111081889" Pos="0,-3.55298,0" />

</Entry>


NOTE: With this way, you dont need to create own archetypes.
