Creating a config for a static object?

[konyo 14]

Hi all. Ive decided to play around with a little model i made for myself, but i cant create a config for it? Its a 2 post Hydraulic car lift.

This is the config ive written for it so far :

class CfgPatches {
class Carlift {
	units[] = {};
	weapons[] = {};
	requiredAddons[] = {};
};
};

class CfgFactionClasses
{
  class Empty
 {
  displayName = "Empty";
  priority = 0;
  side = 1;
 };
};

class CfgVehicles {	
class Carlift : Static {
	scope = public;
	model = "\carlift\carlift.p3d";
	displayName = "2 Post Hydraulic Lift";
	faction = "Empty";
	vehicleClass = "Objects";
};
};

However when i start the game, i get a error message saying :

File carlift\config.cpp, line 19: /cfgVehicles. Carlift: Undefined base class 'Static'

I take it i haven’t written it right? So could someone please tell me how to correct this so i can have it as a static object?

Thankyou.

class CfgVehicles {	
class Static;
class Carlift : Static {
	scope = public;
	model = "\carlift\carlift.p3d";
	displayName = "2 Post Hydraulic Lift";
	faction = "Empty";
	vehicleClass = "Objects";
};
};

You have to "preload" the class from which you inherit your new object.

Ok thankyou. I dont get the error message now :D But however i cant find it in game under Empty > Objects? Have i written it wrong? I normally write all my configs like that. So i cant see how its wrong? :confused:

Is this the entire config? No #defines at the beginning? If so, you need to change this:

scope = public;

to this:

scope = 2;

Or you add this to the top of your config:

#define private 0
#define protected 1
#define public 2

Yup what i posted was the entire config file. Ill try those quick, and edit it with the news.

EDIT : Scope 2 worked :) whooo! thankyou! but its created another class called Objects too, so there is 2 Objects classes, and its well to big in game lol, so now i just need to re-size & texture :)

Thanks again!

Sorry for double post. How would i make my addon stop creating another class name called 'Object?' How can i make it go in the stock 'Objects' class with all the other objects?

Try:

vehicleClass = "Misc";

Try:

vehicleClass = "Misc";

Yay thankyou, it worked :)
