View source for CfgAmmo Config Reference

{{ConfigPage|start}}
== Introduction ==
'''''cfgAmmo''''', '''''cfgMagazines''''', '''''cfgWeapons''''' and '''''cfgVehicles''''' are root classes defined in the engine's {{hl|config.bin}}.

These classes can be subsequently added to by addons.

''cfgAmmo'' defines the missile or projectile characteristics for ammunition held in a ''cfgMagazine'' which, in turn, is used by a ''cfgWeapon'', which, in turn, is selected for use in a (series of) ''cfgVehicles'' or added as a portable weapon for a soldier.

The same ammunition can be used by multiple magazines, and the same magazine can be used by multiple weapons. Generally, the same ammunition and the same magazine are used where possible, for consistency amongst weapons and to allow tweaks and changes to any single ''cfgAmmo'' to propagate naturally through all sources that use it.

'''Note''' that engines accept ''integer'' values where a ''float'' would normally be expected.

=== OFP Legacy Behaviour ===
All ''[[Real Virtuality]]'' games since ''Arma'' use the root class ''cfgMagazines''. In contrast, ''OFP/Arma: Cold War Assault'' relies on constructs within its ''cfgWeapons'' class to distinguish between weapon and magazine parameters.

The ''cfgAmmo'' class is similar across every game engine, and aside from incremental additions of tokens with new game versions, the overall structure has not changed significantly.

=== Modifications ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="c">
access = 1;
</syntaxhighlight>

# Ammunition classes can be added.
# Existing classes can (sometimes) be altered.

The default ''class'' for ''cfgAmmo'' specifies {{hl|c= access = 3;}} - Almost all subsequent classes inherit this value, which means they cannot be altered in any way.

To allow YOUR addon to subsequently modify YOUR ammunition (should you wish other addons to do so), you '''must''' change the {{hl|c= access=}} in YOUR ammunition.

=== CamShake ===
New to ''[[:Category:Arma 3|{{arma3}}]]'' is the ability to introduce ''camera shake'' to the firing of weapons by including subclasses within each ''cfgAmmo'' definition. In all cases, ''CamShake'' only affects players (as obviously, ''AI'' have no screens to shake).

:'''CamShakeFire''' applies to anyone within the specified ''distance'' of the shooter.
:'''CamShakePlayerFire''' applies to the shooter directly, instead of the proximity effect.
:'''CamShakeHit''' applies to anyone struck by or within the area of effect ([[#indirectHit|indirectHitRange]]) of the projectile. Parameters are the same as the ''[[addCamShake]]'' command.

Example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="c">
class myAmmo: BulletCore
{
	class CamShakeFire
	{
		power = 30;
		duration = 0.5;
		frequency = 20;
		distance = 30;
	};
	class CamShakePlayerFire
	{
		power = 0.06;
		duration = 0.1;
		frequency = 20;
	};
	class CamShakeHit
	{
		power = 100;
		duration = 1;
		frequency = 20;
	};
}

:''Gain'' includes self-preservation.
:''Cost'' includes time required to complete the attack.
As a result, weapons with ''high cost'' are unlikely to be used against common targets, esp. when ''low cost'' weapons are available.

</syntaxhighlight>

==== dangerRadiusHit ====
;Type: [[TokenNameValueTypes|Integer]]

</syntaxhighlight>

==== fuseDistance ====
;Type: [[TokenNameValueTypes|Float]]
;Description: The ''minimum'' distance any ''explosive projectile'' has to travel, before it becomes ''armed'' and thus explodes on impact.

Missiles hitting short of the given range still visually explode, causing no damage or shockwave effects.

=== H ===
==== hit ====
;Type: [[TokenNameValueTypes|Float]]
;Description: Damage on hit. In OFP total damage is calculated as: {{hl|c= ''Total damage'' = ''Hit damage'' - ''Indirect damage''}} (while hit value is larger than ''indirectHit''). Note that in Arma 3 damage calculation is different. For bullets with caliber=0 the standard damage is dealt. For bullets with caliber > 0 only a fraction of the "hit" value is dealt when the bullet completely penetrates the firegeometry. The damage behaviour in this case is nonlinear (depending on firegeometry thickness) and currently not possible to predict.

<syntaxhighlight lang="c">
hit = 8;

<syntaxhighlight lang="c">
lightColor[] = {1, 1, 1, 0};
</syntaxhighlight>

=== M ===
==== maneuvrability ====
;Type: [[TokenNameValueTypes|Float]]
;Description: Declares maneuvrability of guided missiles.

Higher values than {{hl|30-33}} cause ''the missile'' (when locked on) to spin wildly and rarely hit the target.

Tweaking ''sideAirFriction'' and ''simulationStep'' makes the missile track and hit it is target, but (especially in ''multiplayer'') from other player's ''POV'' the missile will spin out of control, whilst from the shooters own ''POV'', it will still fly straight and hit it is target.

<syntaxhighlight lang="c">
manueuvrability = 30;
</syntaxhighlight>

==== manualControl ====
;Type: [[TokenNameValueTypes|Boolean]]
;Description: If {{hl|1}}, causes the projectile to be guided towards the firer's crosshairs.

See: {{Link|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SACLOS|SACLOS guidance behaviour}}, such as for ''TOW'' missiles.

<syntaxhighlight lang="c">
manualControl = 0;
</syntaxhighlight>

==== maxControlRange ====
;Type: [[TokenNameValueTypes|Float]]
;Description: Declares in which distance to player ammo can be controlled during flight.

Using this on handheld ''launchers'' causes the ''missile'' to ''time-out'' after approximately 1.5km, loosing all control of the warhead, which causes the missile to spin around/take off in random directions (until it self-destructs - ''timeToLive''), making higher values useless.

Using this on any ''vehicle mounted launchers'' (like the ''TOW'', ''Hellfire'' or ''Maverick'') allows the warhead to track '''and''' turn to follow it is target even if said target is behind the player's vehicle (and possibly ''AI-controlled'' ones too), which requires a high ''manueuvrability'' value on the missile.

That way, one can simply lock on, then pass the locked ''target'' and shoot a missile, which will follow the target even without direct line of sight.

'''Note''' that The missile follows the target regardless of ''obstacles'', ''init-time'' or ''initspeed'', meaning the missile might crash into the ground, especially at lower heights.

<syntaxhighlight lang="c">
maxControlRange = 5000;
</syntaxhighlight>

==== maxSpeed ====
;Type: [[TokenNameValueTypes|Float]]
;Description: Declares the maximum speed (metres per second).

Unknown if other simulationclasses behave different. The model does not get displayed when tracers are created [via the cfgmagazine token tracersevery=<number>; ]. Models for tracers get hardcode-deformed and scaled based on speed and ammo hit strength.

<syntaxhighlight lang="c">
model = "\ca\weapons\bullet[.p3d]"
</syntaxhighlight>

==== min/mid/maxRange... ====
;Description: These tokens are present in {{Name|ofp|short}} only. They were badly classed in {{Name|ofp|short}}, causing all weapons using this specific ''bullet'' to exhibit this behaviour rather than the behaviour of the ''rifle''. As such they were transferred to Arma's ''cfgWeapons''{{Clarify}}.

'''Above statement is not true'''; Even in {{Name|arma2|short}} and {{Name|arma2oa|short}}, these values still exist and affect the ''AI'' '''and only the AI''' in the following ways:
:The tokens are found/put on each weapons "''firing modes''", or on the gun itself, if it has no separate firing modes{{Clarify}}.

;Description: is a in [[CfgMineTriggers_Config_Reference|CfgMineTriggers]] defined class

===== minRange =====

</syntaxhighlight>

===== minRangeProbab =====
;Type: [[TokenNameValueTypes|Float]]
;Description: ''Probability'' declaring how '''''high''''' the chance is that the ''AI'' will engage a target at ''minRange'' using ''this (current)'' firing mode.

Values are {{hl|0.0}} to {{hl|1.0}} where {{hl|1.0}} equates to a ''100% likelihood''.

;Type: [[TokenNameValueTypes|Float]]
;Description: ''Maximum'' range possible for the ''AI''.

<syntaxhighlight lang="c">
shootDistraction = 1.0;
</syntaxhighlight>

==== sideAirFriction ====
;Type: [[TokenNameValueTypes|Float]]
;Description: Adjusts the drag of a projectile. Lower values decrease drag, higher values increase drag.

When used with ''guided projectiles'', ''higher values'' make it easier for the projectile to turn, while ''lower values'' make it more difficult to turn.

sideAirFriction = 0.5;
</syntaxhighlight>

==== simulation ====
;Type: [[TokenNameValueTypes|String]]
;Description: Declares simulation type.

Also affects the behaviour ''the projectile'' causes to the ''shooter/object hit'';
:Changing "''shotShell''" to "''shotBullet''" makes a tank shell pass through more trees rather than being stopped by them, and also removes the recoil which usually affects the tank/vehicle the cannon is mounted to.
:Changing "''shotBullet''" to "''shotSpread''" (OA only) causes the changed ammo to behave like it is buckshot (again, OA only).

;Possible values: Refer to ''[[Models & Classnames: Simulation Types]]'' for a list of all supported simulation types.
