Latest revision as of 21:41, 16 May 2024
CfgAmmo
A
airLock
Limits locking to specific target category. Also says if the AI will be "able" to engage these certain types with the given ammo (for the actual AI target preference use aiAmmoUsageFlags).
airLock = 0; // Cannot target air units
airLock = 1; // Can target air and ground units
airLock = 2; // Can target air units ONLY
artilleryLock
Can lock onto ArtilleryTarget object (created when commanding an AI that operates an artillery piece). Warning: With artilleryLock = 1 the airfriction gets forced to 0 ingame.
artilleryLock = 0;
artilleryLock = 1;
autoSeekTarget
If set to true the missile flies towards a marked target and after reaching lockSeekRadius it searches for the best target (can be still the marked target) and homes in on it. If set to false the missile needs a valid lock first and will only guide towards the locked target. The property is used for example for guided artillery shells.
autoSeekTarget = 0;
autoSeekTarget = 1;
C
cameraViewAvailable
Says whether the missile can provide camera feed after being launched.
cameraViewAvailable = 1; // pilot can see the missile's flight from missile's perspective
cmImmunity
Defines the guidance sensitivity to countermeasures (flares, chaff, smoke). Range 0...1. The higher the number the more chance missile will ignore CM. 1 makes it completely ignore CM while 0 makes the projectile lose its target immediately after first CM is fired.
cmImmunity = 0; // Projectile loses its target immediately after CM launch
cmImmunity = 1; // Projectile is immune to countermeasures
F
flightProfiles
Array of flight profiles (guidance specifics) the missile is allowed to use as a fire mode. Each entry references a flight profile class defined in the ammo and is paired with fire modes of the weapon. The naming has to be exactly the same in ammo flight profile class, weapon fire mode class, modes[] and flightProfiles[]. Classes that are defined in the ammo but which are not included in the flightProfiles at the same time will be ignored.
More info in Arma 3: Missile flight profiles
flightProfiles[] = {Direct}; // added by default - if the ammo does not specify any flight profile OR if the weapon has more player fire modes (other than for flight profiles)
flightProfiles[] = {TopDown}; // top attack fire mode, can be used with [[autoSeekTarget]]
flightProfiles[] = {LOALDistance}; // lock-on after launch fire mode - missile will autonomously find a target after traveling specified distance, requires [[autoSeekTarget]]
flightProfiles[] = {LOALAltitude}; // lock-on after launch fire mode - for bombs - bomb will autonomously find a target after dropping to specified altitude, requires [[autoSeekTarget]]
flightProfiles[] = {Overfly}; // overfly top attack fire mode - the missile will overfly the target in specified height, best used with submunitions
flightProfiles[] = {Cruise}; // terrain following fire mode, can be used with [[autoSeekTarget]]
flightProfiles[] = {Direct, TopDown}; // a missile supporting two flight profiles - direct and top attack
I
irLock
Property is unused if the ammo uses the new Sensors (Radar, IR...) system.
Can lock air/ground vehicles (target vehicle must have irTarget=1).
irLock = 0;
irLock = 1;
L
laserLock
Property is unused if the ammo uses the new Sensors (Radar, IR...) system.
Can lock on LaserTarget objects (laserTarget = 1).
laserLock = 0;
laserLock = 1;
lockSeekRadius
Specifies the maximum distance from the initial target position where the missile will search for suitable targets if it has autoSeekTarget enabled.
lockSeekRadius = 100; // Current value for all
lockType
Defines ammo dependance on weapon lock. Only works for missiles.
lockType = 0; // Fire and Forget (currently all guided weapons)
lockType = 1; // Manual - beamriding guidance (use together with manualControl true)
lockType = 2; // Manual - point guidance
M
maneuvrability
Defines how much the missile is able to turn / how well it can be controlled during the flight.
maneuvrability = 1; // Default value
maneuvrability = 20; // MissileBase
maneuvrability = 16; // BombCore
maneuvrability = 4; // NLAW missile
maneuvrability = 14; // SCALPEL missile
manualControl
Missile follows the cursor (unless locked onto a target). maxControlRange, maneuvrability and missile speed are very important for manual control. AI is able to guide missiles manually too.
manualControl = 0; // Default value
manualControl = 1; // Titan AT missile
maxControlRange
Defines the distance in meters from the firing platform at which manual control over the missile is lost and it flies in a straight path.
maxControlRange = 4000; // MissileBase
maxControlRange = 5000; // Titan AT missile
missileManualControlCone
Defines the in-flight maximum cone from the missile where the player has to aim in order to retain manual guidance. Missile can re-gain the control if the player's aim goes outside of the cone for a moment and reappears later.
missileManualControlCone = 45; // Titan AT
missileKeepLockedCone
Defines the in-flight maximum cone (field of regard) from the missile where the missile can still track the target. Missile can re-gain tracking if target disappears for a moment and reappears later within the cone.
missileKeepLockedCone = 90; // can only follow targets as long as it stays in 90° infront of the missile
missileKeepLockedCone = 360; // off-boresight capabilities, missile can attempt a full turn in order to hunt targets behind
missileLockCone
Defines the in-flight maximum cone from the missile where the target has to be and remain so the missile can lock it.
This doesn't affect missile's Sensor so in theory a missile can "know about" a target outside of its locking range.
missileLockCone = 5; // DAGR
missileLockCone = 180; // GBU-12
missileLockCone = 50; // Default (MissileCore)
missileLockMaxDistance
Specifies the maximum distance at which the missile is able to lock a target. This doesn't affect missile's Sensor so in theory a missile can detect and track a target outside of its locking range.
missileLockMaxDistance = 2000; // missile won't be able to lock targets further than than 2km away
missileLockMinDistance
Specifies the minimum distance at which the missile is able to lock a target. This doesn't affect missile's Sensor so in theory a missile can detect and track a target outside of its locking range.
missileLockMinDistance = 50; // missile won't be able to lock a target closer than 50m
missileLockMaxSpeed
Specifies the maximum speed (m/s) at which the target can be travelling to be still lockable by the missile. This doesn't affect missile's Sensor so in theory a missile can detect and track a faster target than it can lock.
missileLockMaxSpeed = 42; // missile won't be able to lock a target closer that is moving faster than 151km/h
N
nvLock
Property is unused if the ammo uses the new Sensors (Radar, IR...) system.
Can lock onto NVTarget objects (IR-Grenades thrown by infantry).
nvLock = 0; // Default
nvLock = 1; // GBU-12
S
sideAirFriction
Indirectly affects missiles turning / the flight path once the missile changes its orientation. The higher the side friction the more accurate is the maneuvring with the missile.
sideAirFriction = 0.001; // Default (MissileBase)
sideAirFriction = 0.1; // Titan AA
T
trackLead
Range 0-1, how much is the missile performing "smart" tracking, which assumes onboard computer computing predicted target position at the impact time, resulting in a mostly straight flight trajectory.
trackLead = 1; // Missile intercepts
trackLead = 0; // Missile follows
trackOversteer
Simulates manoeuvering errors of the missile.
trackOversteer = 1; // Missiles flies straight to its target
trackOversteer = 0; // Missile never hits its target
W
weaponLockSystem
Defines which
- target vehicle's lockDetectionSystem will be able to detect being locking by this ammo
- target vehicle's incomingMissileDetectionSystem will be able to detect this ammo when it is in-flight and guided towards the target vehicle
- countermeasures' weaponLockSystem will break this ammo's lock or guidance. (Same property is used also on flares and chaff to define the opposite match.)
More details in Arma 3: Countermeasures
weaponLockSystem = 0; // Undetectable
weaponLockSystem = 1; // Visual/Contrast
weaponLockSystem = 2; // Infra-red
weaponLockSystem = 4; // Laser
weaponLockSystem = 8; // Radar
weaponLockSystem = 16; // Missile
weaponLockSystem = "2+4"; // Lock types can be combined (in this case, IR and Laser lock)
CfgWeapons
B
ballisticsComputer
Various fire control systems and ballistic aids can be defined (and combined) in a weapon system. Aids based on target motion prediction (1 and 4) require a Sensor (Radar, IR...) to be able to track the target (Since Arma 3 1.60 they are no longer dependable canLock > 0. You can mark anything what your sensors are able to detect and use the gained information for fire control.)
ballisticsComputer = 0; // Disabled
ballisticsComputer = 1; // Automatic zeroing and lead on a sensor-tracked target (Weapon attempts to calculate and shift the aimpoint to hit a locked target based on range, target movement, own movement, and ballistics of selected ammo type.)
ballisticsComputer = 2; // Manual zeroing
ballisticsComputer = 4; // Target Lead indication; since Arma 3 1.60
ballisticsComputer = 8; // Predicted Impact Point indication; since Arma 3 1.60
ballisticsComputer = 16; // FCS, Prediction based on laser distance and speed measurement; since Arma 3 1.70
C
canLock
Determines if the weapon can lock onto targets allowed by the ammunition it uses.
canLock = 0; // Disabled
canLock = 1; // Locks only on lower difficulties (Recruit, Cadet), disabled since Arma 3 1.58
canLock = 2; // Always locks
cmImmunity
Defines how well the weapon can maintain lock if the target fires countermeasures (flares, chaff, smoke).
cmImmunity = 0; // Lock breakes whenever target fires CM
cmImmunity = 1; // Lock never breaks
F
FCSMaxLeadSpeed
Maximum target speed (m/s) to which the gun can still adjust zeroing/deflection
FCSMaxLeadSpeed = 27.7; // ~100km/h
L
lockAcquire
Determines if weapons locks automatically a target within its lock cone or player has to use Lock Target action while pointing at a target.
lockAcquire = 0; // player has to select a target himself
lockAcquire = 1; // automatic acquisition of the closest target in missileLockCone
lockingTargetSound
Determines sound played once the selected weapon starts locking a target. The sound is played in a loop while locking. Note the sound is only played if the weapon is a missile.
Sound array : {"path/to/file.wss",<volume priority>,<sound pitch>}
lockingTargetSound[] = {"\A3\Sounds_F\weapons\Rockets\locked_1",0.562341,1}; // Used in missiles_DAGR
lockedTargetSound
Determines sound played once the selected weapon locked its target. The sound is played in a loop until the weapon maintains a lock and is able to fire. Note the sound is only played if the weapon is a missile.
Sound array : {"path/to/file.wss",<volume priority>,<sound pitch>}
lockedTargetSound[] = {"\A3\Sounds_F\weapons\Rockets\locked_1",0.562341,4};
W
weaponLockDelay
Once the locking conditions are met (target is marked, can be locked by this projectile and is in missileLockCone), how much time in seconds would it take for the lock to be achieved.
weaponLockDelay = 0; // Immediate lock if the locking conditions are met
weaponLockDelay = 3; // Most of the guided weapons
weaponLockSystem
Defines which target vehicle's lockDetectionSystem will be able to detect being marked/tracked by this weapon.
More details in Arma 3: Countermeasures
weaponLockSystem = 0; // Undetectable
weaponLockSystem = 4; // Laser
weaponLockSystem = 8; // Radar
weaponLockSystem = 12; // Lock types can be combined (in this case, Radar and Laser)
CfgVehicles
A
allowTabLock
If true, allows the usage of automatic cycling of targets using Tab (Next Target key assignment - default "R" in Arma 3). Can be used for driver, or each individual turret.
allowTabLock = 0; // Tab-lock disabled (man-pads)
allowTabLock = 1; // Most of the vehicles
alwaysTarget
Defines if the vehicle is considered as a training target by AI and IFF sensors (always enemy).
alwaysTarget = 0;
alwaysTarget = 1; // VR Targets
artilleryScanner
Enables the Artillery Computer feature and allows the usage of artillery-type weapons more efficiently.
artilleryScanner = 0;
artilleryScanner = 1; // Artillery vehicles/mortars
artilleryTarget
Only used by ArtilleryTarget class objects. ArtilleryTarget gets created temporarily on the position designated by a player leader for a subordinate AI artillery operator (Fire Artillery command). Can be locked by projectiles with artilleryLock = 1;
artilleryTarget = 0;
artilleryTarget = 1;
C
xxxCanSee
Defines specific tools/sensors for the AI/players when on a specific seat.
- 1 = CanSeeRadar
- 2 = CanSeeEye
- 4 = CanSeeOptics
- 8 = CanSeeEar
- 16 = CanSeeCompass
- 1+16 = CanSeeRadarC
- 31 = CanSeeAll
- 32 = CanSeePeripheral // Enables small colored blobs at the edge of the screen that indicate nearby units.
driverCanSee = 2+8+16; // The driver of this vehicle can see and hear enemies and use its compass
gunnerCanSee = 1+4+16; // The gunner of this vehicle can detect enemies with optics or radar, and sees a compass
commanderCanSee = 31; // The commander of this vehicle can see and use all its tools
canUseScanners
Can be defined per individual turret. Useful to restrict access to vehicle sensors (target marking) on some positions in vehicles (i.e. door gunners)
canUseScanner = 0; // can't use the vehicle's Sensors
countermeasureActivationRadius
Defines how far the vehicle can detect incoming missiles (see incomingMissileDetectionSystem)
More details in Arma 3: Countermeasures
countermeasureActivationRadius = 2000; // Ground vehicles
countermeasureActivationRadius = 10000; // Air vehicles

Defines which munitions guided towards the vehicle the vehicle can detect. Checks a bit flag match with the incoming ammo's weaponLockSystem.
More details in Arma 3: Countermeasures
incomingMissileDetectionSystem = 0; // No missile-in-flight detection
incomingMissileDetectionSystem = 8; // Active Radar Homing missile-in-flight detection
incomingMissileDetectionSystem = 16; // Detects all missiles (Missile Approach Warning)
irScanXXX
Property is unused if the vehicle uses the new Sensors (Radar, IR...) system.
Those settings can be used instead of irScanRange to make IR+Radar scan range depend on the visibility distance. If there is irScanRange, fixed value is used. The same thing can also be accomplished by setting both irScanRangeMin and irScanRangeMax to the same value.
If there is no irScanRange,IR+Radar scan range is calculated as:
scanRange = visibility_range * irScanToEyeFactor; if (scanRange<irScanRangeMin) scanRange = irScanRangeMin; if (scanRange>irScanRangeMax) scanRange = irScanRangeMax;
Where visiblity_range is basically a drawing distance, but may be shortened by rain or fog. Float
irScanToEyeFactor = 1;
irScanRangeMin = 200;
irScanRangeMax = 1000;
irScanGround
Property is unused if the vehicle uses the new Sensors (Radar, IR...) system.
Can be used to limit target detection to air or groun targets.
irScanGround = 0; // Can detect and track aerial irTargets only (AAA)
irScanGround = 1; // Can detect and track any irTargets (multirole)
irScanGround = 2; // Can detect and track ground irTargets only (air-to-surface radar, gunships)
irTarget
Says whether the vehicle - once heated up - can be detected and tracked by an IR Sensor system. Vehicle heats up mainly from a running engine (~ 6 sec to heat up after engine start, 1h to cool down). Firing a weapon or wheels friction also builds up the vehicle's heat signature.
irTarget = 0; // Buildings, men, static defenses, etc...
irTarget = 1; // Ground/Air vehicles
irTargetSize
Says how big the vehicle's heat signature is once heated up. Works as a coefficient of IR Sensor's range within the given combat situation.
irTargetSize = 0.1; // heated vehicle will be detected by an IR sensor only at 1/10 of the sensors range in the given tactical situation
irTargetSize = 2.0; // maximum value, vehicle can be detected at 2x the sensor's range
L
laserScanner
Property is unused if the vehicle uses the new Sensors (Radar, IR...) system.
Defines if the vehicle has a Laser Spot Tracker and is able to detect and lock laser targets (for example, CAS jets, gunships).
laserScanner = 0;
laserScanner = 1;
laserTarget
Defines if the vehicle can be detected by vehicles equipped with a laser sensor (laserScanner). Used only by LaserTarget and Land_VR_Target.. classes. LaserTarget gets created at the position of laser spot painted by a laser designator.
laserTarget = 0;
laserTarget = 1;
lockDetectionSystem
Defines what type of locking or marking the vehicle can detect. Checks a bit flag match with the locking ammo's weaponLockSystem and/or weapon's weaponLockSystem (when marked).
More details in Arma 3: Countermeasures
weaponLockSystem = 0; // Undetectable
weaponLockSystem = 4; // Laser
weaponLockSystem = 8; // Radar
weaponLockSystem = "2+4"; // Lock types can be combined (in this case, IR and Laser lock)
N
nvScanner
Property is unused if the vehicle uses the new Sensors (Radar, IR...) system.
Defines if the vehicle is able to detect and lock Night-Vision targets (used by IR-Grenades).
nvScanner = 0;
nvScanner = 1;
nvTarget
Defines if the vehicle can be detected by vehicles equipped with a night-vision sensor (nvScanner). Used only by NVTarget and Land_VR_Target.. classes. NV target gets created on the position of ammo with
simulation = "shotNVGMarker";
nvTarget = 0;
nvTarget = 1;
P
class pilotCamera
Gives the pilot access to a targeting pod (or some CCTV) and control over it in a full screen display feed (via *Multifunction camera* action, Ctrl+RMB by default).
class pilotCamera
{
class OpticsIn
{
// different optics mode, same as in turrets
}
minTurn = -90; // yaw limits
maxTurn = 90; // yaw limits
initTurn = 0; // initial yaw angle
minElev = -90; // pitch limits
maxElev = 90; // pitch limits
initElev = 0; // initial pitch angle
maxXRotSpeed = 0.5; // yawing speed
maxYRotSpeed = 0.5; // pitching speed
pilotOpticsShowCursor = 1; // to show aimCursor (is useful to see plane direction)
controllable = 1; // set false to have static camera
};

R
radarTarget
Says whether the vehicle can be detected and tracked by a RADAR Sensor.
IRTarget is used if undefined for backwards compatibility.
radarTarget = 1; // can be detected by RADAR
radarTargetSize
Radar cross-section coefficient of the vehicle. Works as a coefficient of RADAR Sensor's range within the given combat situation.
- 0.1 - fully stealth (<0.0005m2 RCS) (not recommended)
- 0.7 - small aircrafts, semi-stealth (~1m2 RCS)
- 1.0 - mid sized aircraft, car (~5m2 RCS)
- 1.2 - tanks, trucks (~10m2 RCS)
- 2.0 - large bomber, small ship and bigger (>80m2 RCS)
