(and have a fun time doing it).įor muzzle flash/blast. Or do it BOTH ways, and compare the features and performance - gain the experience of working with BOTH systems. Just change your spriteGenerator() function. Use SPS, or just plain planes, as Deltakosh suggests. My suggestion is to NOT use Canvas2D and Sprite2D for your bullet hole purpose. I am talking about bullet holes here, NOT muzzle flash. but in a '5000 of them - no problem' -way.

It would be using the same method that Deltakosh mentioned. which can easily be textured and positioned. SPS has the abilities to make some VERY lightweight 'planes'. Do some forum searches, docs searches, and view some playgrounds. We have a very cool system called the Solid Particle System. as-if your sprite is animating on a piece of glass, eh?

By using this method, we have not changed the green StandardMaterial on the box (created in lines 73-74) The box still has FULL material powers, right? Handy! It is. to -20.1 You will see the Canvas2d-based worldSPaceCanvas2D node. It works good for a simple border, in this case.įor fun, change line 82. Line 84 just displays the node's bounding box. (I get the worldSpaceCanvasNode.) Then I parent that node to the box, and set its position very precisely, and scale it down to be the same size as the box. In line 80, I 'harvest' a reference to that invisible 'node' (mesh). It does this so the wsc2d can be placed within the scene worldspace. which is essentially an invisible box mesh (sometimes called a trackedNode). WorldSpaceCanvas2D places its graphics on a 'node'. when spacecase() is called at line 79 of the 'mainline' createScene code. to activate a worldSpaceCanvas2D (wsc2d). In lines 1-53 is the large spacecase() function. Let's go a bit further, and see if you hate me afterwards. I don't know if the Canvas2D system will seem overwhelming/difficult for you. The offsetting is done in lines 31-50 of the above demo. Sprite2D is not a standard BJS sprite or mesh, nor does it use a standardMaterial. Īlthough sprite-like animation CAN be done fine upon a BJS mesh, offsetting textures for a standardMaterial. uOffset and vOffset are properties found on BJS Texture Class.

The texture is being remapped-onto the mesh. When deltakosh mentions offsets, he is talking about moving-around the large sprite atlas image ( textures/player.png) in such a way. Just change the box to a plane, for your needs. to place and parent a Sprite2D primitive (with sprite atlas animation) onto a box. Whether the end result of the muzzle flash will be more realistic (depends on whether I can create parameters that vary the muzzle flash with the environmental conditions) or just generically in a muzzle flash aesthetic remains to be seen.Negrant, here is a rather messy playground that uses our new Canvas2D system (WorldSpaceCanvas2D method, with Sprite2D primitive).

What linked code is associated with muzzle flashes that may give me issues.Īs it stands, I have the necessary resources to generate the sprites and I have found a small snippet of information on the wiki about how coordinates and rotation for the muzzle flashes are set for weapons.What file format do they use and what type of Alpha Channel?.Are they embedded in a per-weapon basis or referenced from a repository?.Where are the muzzle flash sprites located?.More goals set when it becomes clearer what I will be able to do with this. more like a muzzle flash ) Hopefully releasable as some manner of small FX mod. So Level 1 Goal is to replace the default muzzle flash for small arms in the game with a generic muzzle flash that looks. The goal is to do a replacement for the muzzle flash sprite assets currently in the game which in my opinion aren't very convincing. The scope of my replacement scales depending on how much I will be capable of doing within my limited knowledge of how ArmA 3 modding works. After perusing the wiki and not finding much on the specifics, I do have a few things to ask.

I'm loath to put this post here and get in the way of all the legit mods but for lack of a better place to start I may as well begin it here.
