Buildable B4 203 Artillery

Hi.

Need some help here, have been following the guide from SneakEye on the builadble "25 pounder emplacement".

https://www.coh2.org/guides/81345/25-pounder-emplacement-modding-guide

The "25 Pounder" is complete and work as intended. (Thanks for that awesome tutorial SneakEye

)

But are also trying to add the soviet "B4 203mm Howitzer Gun" in to one of those emplacements, unfortunately i haven't been very successful.

When my engineers are building the emplacement the gun show up, and can fire.
But there is no crew, and the gun can't rotate.

I'am thinking there is something wrong with the crew_ext.

Have anyone created this, if so what did you put in the crew_ext?

Thanks.

So for the crew to attach to the gun I need these 5 roles, awesome. Thanks

role 1: role_name; "gunner1", sync_action_name; "attach_gunner1_artillery"
role 2: role_name; "loader1", sync_action_name; "attach_loader1_artillery"
role 3: role_name; "loader2", sync_action_name; "attach_loader2_artillery"
role 4: role_name; "crew1", sync_action_name; "attach_crew1_artillery"
role 5: role_name; "gunner2", sync_action_name; "attach_gunner2_artillery"

Yes, these 5 roles are a must. "Artillery_Target" is also.

The gun can't rotate maybe is lack "moving_ext",copy vanilla howitzer "moving_ext" to new howitzer.

After the problem is solved, it will be like this.

If there is no remove crew action, there is no need to apply crew action.

Thanks

Finally got it to work

The main difference here is that the 25-pounder uses a crew while the B4 (and other howitzers) are team weapons. A crew is purely visual and doesn't represent any real "unit", so the crew members can't die. A team weapon is operated by entities just like the ones in regular infantry squads, so they can attack and be attacked.

27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM

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.
