so far just the 1.00 lod

im guessing i need more but i dont know which

The following should work for your config.cpp

class CfgPatches 
{
class BLINK_ESS_Glasses
{
	units[] = {};
	weapons[] = {};
	requiredVersion = 0.01;
	requiredAddons[] = {"CAData", "CACharacters", "CAWeapons", "CA_Heads"};
};
};
class CfgGlasses 
{
class BLINK_ESS_Glasses
{
	scope = 2;
	name = "BLINK's ESS Glasses";
	model = "\PBONAME\MODELNAME.p3d";
	identityTypes[] = {};
};
};

And the model itself should have the following LODs (minimum):

0.0000 Resoluton LOD

(You can add more resolution lods with lower detail, but I don't think its entirely necessary).

The glasses themselves should be part of the "Head" named selection.

@jackal..thanks.

this is the template I use for the config:

I'll explain some things

class CfgPatches {

class myhelmet {
units[] = {};
weapons[] = {};
requiredVersion = 0.100000;
requiredAddons[] = {};
};
};
class CfgGlasses {

class myhelmet {                  
scope = 2;
name = "yourname";                               \\name that appears in the list
model = "\helm\model\helm.p3d";               \\location of your model
identityTypes[] = {"myhelmet", 1};
disabled = 0;
};
};

For the location of your model..try to use the P drive

Model positioning in terms of glasses, is not the same as it is in terms of unit models. Allow me to clarify:

Note the overall position of the glasses.

Note the overall position of the unit.

Your best bet is to download the BIS released sample model for ArmA2, which comes complete with a head model, and position your glasses/helmet whatever in relation to that.

Hello world :D

Have a look at this addon: glasses

Mondkalb gave as a great template where you can have a look for the position, the material, the config and much more.

It´s really simple when you know how.

cheers lads got her working

note: the arma2 sample head doesnt really work for me, i placed the glass along the redline etc. and the arma2 head is a good bit above the line
