Where are goddamn controllers for Hydrophone?



This isn't hydrophone for type 7?

I'm looking for standard u-boat hydrophones 3d model. There aren't any in sensors.gr2...

These are the external sensors. Each of them got a SensorData controller. Moreover, if I remember correctly, R.E.M. gives a Dial controller to KDB's top head for making it to rotate when the hydrophone is sweeped. Also note that the GHG sensor is just a dummy bone (it misses 3d meshes). I don't know if a 3d model is required for equipment and other objects to take damage, but should it be the case we can always create some dummy transparent meshes and import them in GR2 Editor.

As for the hydrophone station, it is one shared model, and it found in:

data\Submarine\Common\Rooms\Room_QR1.GR2, Hidrofon.

Its working is a bit complicated. The station model itself is composed by many individual parts assembled together. The root mesh got an HydrophoneStationController and an InteractionContext controller assigned, com02a (volume knob) and Hydrophone_Wheel (sweeping wheel) got a KWheel controller each, Hydrophone_Dial (the dial) got an InteractiveObject controller, ac sonar2 (dial's needle) a Dial controller and finally Hidrofon_button_bulb (the red button on the left of the wheel) a SensorStation controller

Open each controller to try and understand what each controller does. You can try giving some parts their own damage box and eventually make them destructible, but beware of ctd's and weird issues as for the UZO.

Radar equipment models/controllers should be similar.

Tnx Gap! I'll try to add damage box to GHG bone first...KDB9 rotating sensor works just fine, 3d model is removed and hydrophone is unusable...

Nice!

Talking about the KDB, you should make it much more susceptible to damage than other hydrophones, as historically documented. On a side note, it would be nice if we managed to keep the GHG after upgrading to the KDB. The latter had a better accuracy at close range, but it was useless at long range, and it was only fitted onboard as secondary listening device.

When you have done with the external sensors, try modelling hydrophone station's damage. I am sure it is going to pose some problems, but if we manage to solve them it would make sensor's damage much more critical

Works perfect! I mean, it doesn't, because it's broken...

No problems with that...Lower HP value will do the job...

Hm, that would be really cool, if it is possible...

You mean like jammed sweep handle or something ? I'm afraid that this is still beyond my capabilities, although i'm planing to do something similar with guns...I'll need more research though...
