Introduction

With this control type it is possible to integrate 3D objects into a dialog. For some more information you may want to look at this blog post by User:Killzone_Kid: http://killzonekid.com/arma-scripting-tutorials-gui-part-6/.

⚠

The y and z values for the vectorDir (direction array) and vectorUp (up) are switched.

The control position can be defined with either 'position' property, which is an array or separate 'x', 'y' and 'z' properties, which are floats. If both are used, the former overrides the latter.

The head in the shown dialog is an object, though it is unknown how to set the actual face texture or additional objects.

Default Classes

AddOns: Classes need to be initialised first with class SomeClass;

Missions: Since Arma 3 v2.02 one can use import SomeClass; to initialise a class (see the import keyword).

In older versions, use "Default" call BIS_fnc_exportGUIBaseClasses; and paste the result into the description.ext.

	type = CT_OBJECT;
	scale = 1;
	direction[] = {0,0,1};
	up[] = {0,1,0};
