Hi guys, I am looking for some help with those utilities vehicles.
I tried to mod those vehicles to carry soldiers. The main problem is "I can not show the entities when they are loaded. I tried to modify the ebps in many ways but I can not find the correct way to do it.
I have two questions:

a. Is it possible to do it using only the "attribute editor" ?
If the answer is yes, then could someone give me a tip about how I could do it.

b. Is it possible to add those vehicles one canvas coverage ? For example Wehrmacht Opel Blitz have a 50/50 percent change to have/not have one when you bulid one.
I know the Ebps of Opel blitz can be mod to carry supplies in the "action apply extension"

Maybe someone could give a litte help in this matter.

Thank you very much in advance

I do both in my German Metafaction mod. I don't remember the details of either, but you can download it and look at the sbps and ebps.

For the trucks I put the canvases up when troops mount (since you can't see them), and take them down when everyone dismounts.

a. Only if the vehicle has combat slot markers in the .rgm. If not, a custom .rgm would have to be made, for which we do not have support.

b. Only if the vehicle has states that toggle the meshes on/off. In the case of the Opel Blitz, set state_machine "set_random_supplies" with do_action_state_name "canopy" in an "animator_set_state" action.

I think I misunderstood the first question. I use the canopy because I can *not* see squads loaded into the truck.

Hi again and sorry for the repost:

I mod the Opel Blitz and now is perfect.
I have now a problem with the M6 AEF truck.
I tried to use the "canopy" option but It not worked correctly.

My question is (Talking about M6 Truck):

How I can modify the Ebps using the animator_set_state ?
For example:

do_action_state_name: ..... ?
state_machine_name: ........ ?

Do I need to modify only those values or I need to modify others attribs ?

@ Elig00d: you said "Only if the vehicle has states that toggle the meshes on/off "
Another question: Do I need to modify this value in the sbps/ebps ? Because I can not find it :)

I want to say thank you again for your help ;)

The "set_random_supplies" state is only for the Opel Blitz, so that is why it does not work elsewhere.

Do you mean the Dodge WC51? I am not sure what you mean by M6. I am guessing you saw M6 37mm GMC somewhere and thought the truck was M6 as well (it is actually a Dodge WC55 in that case).

I think you can look in World Builder for additional states, but otherwise you would need to look through and find them being used in Relic's attributes.

For example, dodge_wc51_50cal_mp has a "canopy_visible" state being set to "false", which shows that the canopy is on by default (as seen with dodge_wc51_mp).

@ Elig00d: Sorry for the confusion :) I took the Zis 6 Transport truck (soviet) and I moved to the AEF (basicly it is an M6 Truck)
Now I am trying to use it as an utility truck for the Americans.

Btw thank you for the other data.

Regards

ZiS-6 is just a ZiS-6. The file names might be misleading, as they refer to US6 (Studebaker), but the model itself is just a ZiS-6.

Anyways, I don't think that one has a canopy. It can have passengers, though.

I understand :) Yes I saw in Spearhead mod they animate passengers inside.
I already tried to mod the ebps file to do that (passengers on ZiS-6) but I did not find the correct way to do it.

Could you give me a tip, I really apreciate your help.

Thank you again in advance

I think the zis_6_transport_mp already supports it.

Indeed, you are right again :) I had a problem with my zis-6 ebps file. I solved the problem.
Thank you again for your time :)
