@J9Josh will attaching it the way you describe allow it the objects i add to clip over the main vehicle? I'm trying to cover up the barrel on the turret of a vehicle with a larger gun object.

ugh
what did he mean open eden editor select map press f2 custom nato marshall

it doesnt seem to download correctly. it doesnt appear in my mods file on the launcher and not in game either. Any suggestions?

Some screengrabs just to show what I'm seeing on my end.

Got an error on Altis on the Almyra salt flats. Objects all placed, did it in Eden editor, surface snapping off but the M2 turret decal, and the actual invis Mk32A turret are floating high above the Marshall turret in the middle of the air. Maybe there's something off with the c1 helipad in the composition and offset? Can't fix it.

Thanks! Didn't know this command yet, it should be useful!

@Kestrel YT answer spread across 3 comments because of steam character limit

It’s not too complicated I’ll try my best to explain. The objects that move with the turret are attached to another invisible object that is attached to the vehicle
To do it you need a to:

1) Place a vehicle and give it a variable name e.g tank_1

2) Place an object (like the invisible helipad so you can’t see it). Give it a variable name e.g turret_1 and inside the init field paste either:

turret_1 attachTo [tank_1,[0,0,0] ,"otocVez", true];
(attaches to turret – follows gunners horizontal movement)
or
turret_2 attachTo [tank_1,[0,0,0] ," otocHlaven", true];
(attaches to cannon – follows gunners horizontal and vertical movement )

(you need one object each for both commands)

“otocVez” and “otocHlaven” are in Czech as that is where Bohemia devs are from, they mean “Turn_Turret” and “Turn_Barrel” (which refers to the gunner seat of the vehicle). There are terms for commanders and passengers I think so you can attach to those instead of gunner, just look at translations link.

Here is list of all translations:

How attachTo works:

3) You can use the attachTo string above directly on the aesthetic objects without the invisible object if you want but you need to specify a position e.g [0,0,0] in x,y,z coordinates which is basically impossible so just paste:

[this, turret_1] call BIS_fnc_attachToRelative;
or
[this, turret_2] call BIS_fnc_attachToRelative;

In the init field of any objects you want to attach

Hope this helps

How did you get the objects attached to the gun barrel directly? Haven't been able to locate that script yet myself

very nice comp

Yes it should, under compositions in objects tab

does it work in zeus?

this is brutal i love it.

you should make another composition with the western Sahara marshals.

nicework

very cool

it looks a lot like the Rheinmetall Boxer at first glance

ballsack

that looks nice on first look i thought it was a different vehicle
