Configuration
The new Sensor system gets enabled by defining a VehicleSystemsDisplayManagerComponentLeft (left display) or VehicleSystemsDisplayManagerComponentRight (right display) class inside the vehicle's Components class.
class MyVehicle_F : MyBaseVehicle_F
{
class Components : Components
{
class VehicleSystemsDisplayManagerComponentLeft : DefaultVehicleSystemsDisplayManagerLeft
{
};
class VehicleSystemsDisplayManagerComponentRight : DefaultVehicleSystemsDisplayManagerRight
{
};
};
};
For simplicity the class can inherit from one of the templates that are available in the configFile root.
VehicleSystemsTemplateLeftDriver
VehicleSystemsTemplateRightDriver
VehicleSystemsTemplateLeftCommander
VehicleSystemsTemplateRightCommander
VehicleSystemsTemplateLeftGunner
VehicleSystemsTemplateRightGunner
VehicleSystemsTemplateLeftSensorsCommander
VehicleSystemsTemplateRightSensorsCommander
VehicleSystemsTemplateLeftSensorsGunner
VehicleSystemsTemplateRightSensorsGunner
Automatic usage & backwards compatibility
If the Vehicle doesn't have the VehicleSystemsDisplayManagerComponent defined one of the two default pairs is used.
// core definitions, do not override
DefaultVehicleSystemsDisplayManagerLeft
DefaultVehicleSystemsDisplayManagerRight
DefaultVehicleSystemsDisplayManagerLeftSensors
DefaultVehicleSystemsDisplayManagerRightSensors
The pair of defaults with Sensors suffix is used whenever the vehicle had radarType defined as air radar or ground radar.
