Mortar for M3 Scout Car?

I'd like to add a PM-41 on the M3 Scout Car. I started with some research on a vehicle similar to my desired product, the 250. I noticed that for the 250 halftrack, there is a mortar_state, but when I tried turning that on and off in NIS editor/Worldbuilder, I see no visible difference. I also checked the anim_table for the Granatwerfer 34 variants and found no visibility_name. How does the mortar halftrack system work, then, and is it possible to use the same system on vehicles such as the Soviet M3 Scout Car or M5 halftrack?

The 250 has an animated crew built in to the model, so it's not possible without more advanced tools.

You could try something a bit more cheeky. Try spawning a mortar entity that spawns the crew with it, and attach that to the scout car. It might look a bit wonky, but it might also work.

If that doesn't work, you could also try making a special mortar squad that is able to be put into a hold and can shoot out of it spawn in the scout car.

I can't seem to get a mortar team to work in the scout car. I added mortars to acceptable_types and it shows the rest of the crew, but not the mortar nor the two men manning it. Is there somewhere I should be looking for this?

You might try to add the mortar to the .abp file of the M3 Scout Car. The position will probably be in the center on the ground, but that will add the animations and a visible mortar (if the states are set correctly). The British mortar pit works the same, although the positions of those mortars are set in the .mua file which can't be modded.

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy

Soheil: Coh2 still broken server ?

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific.

Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.

Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.
