Kinda an engine limitation.
We changed the Javelin because we wanted the CLU to be usable with no missile in it. This meant we use the isSelected animation source to hide the CLU attached to the missile tube when the weapon is on the back of a unit, because otherwise it clips through their head and obscures the view in certain poses, and IRL the CLU is carried inside a bag not held externally where it might be damaged.
However, when a weapon is dropped to the ground, it also reverts to this animation state where the CLU is hidden because all weapon animations revert to their initial state when dropped.
Old system we were using "modelSpecial" system to switch between the empty tube when carried on back and full launcher with the CLU when the missile magazine was loaded, but this doesn't allow for the CLU to be held and used as an observation tool when the launcher has no ammunition.
We will investigate alternative ways of getting the CLU and missile tubes to function the way they should, but it might not be something we can fix

I realized. thanks for the explanation. but to be honest, no one has stuttered in so much time about using a javelin just for observation. this is a very subtle role-playing property. and there are no such servers anyway, who will do it. and I think it makes no sense to spoil the javelin with such an opportunity. we played for 15 years without it, we can play the same way for another 15 years))) |
