How To Create a New Missile?

[abs 2]

Hey,

So, for my Star Trek addons I'm working on new weapons for them. This is my first time trying to configure vehicle weapons. One of the things I need is something called a Plasma Torpedo. I've created a model for it, but I seem to have issues getting it to work in the config. Here is what I have so far:

STA2_Vehicles:

		weapons[]={"PlasmaCannon"};
	magazines[]={"STA2_RPlasMag"};

(I have not included the rest of the config, because as far as I know these two lines are the only relevant part of the config.)

STA2_Weapons:

CfgAmmo

	class MissileBase;
class STA2_RPlasma: MissileBase
{
	model= "\STA2_Weapons\STA2_RPlasma";
	//proxyShape = \ca\weapons\Hellfire_proxy;
	hit=850;
	indirectHit=20;
	indirectHitRange=2;
	cost=10000;
	maxSpeed=320;
	irLock=true;
//		laserLock=true;
//		manualControl=true;
	lightColor[] = {0.5,0.25,0.25,0};
	maxControlRange=8000;
	initTime=0.15;
	thrustTime=2.5;
	thrust=320;
	trackOversteer = 1;
	trackLead = 1;
	maneuvrability=20;
};

CfgMagazines

	class VehicleMagazine;
class STA2_RPlasMag:VehicleMagazine
{
	scope = 1;
	displayName = "Plasma Torpedo";
	count = 30;
	ammo = "STA2_RPlasma";
	initSpeed = 0;
	sound[] = {"\ca\Weapons\Data\Sound\TOW_2",3.16228,1,1400};
 		reloadSound[] = {"\ca\Weapons\Data\Sound\missload",0.000316228,1,20};
 		timeToLive = 120;
	maneuvrability = 8;
	simulationStep = 0.01;
	sideAirFriction = 0.2;
	irLock = 1;
	trackOversteer = 1;
	trackLead = 1;
	maxSpeed = 300;
	initTime = 0.15;
	thrustTime = 2.0;
	thrust = 141;
	nameSound = "missiles";
};

CfgWeapons

	class MissleLauncher;
class PlasmaCannon: MissleLauncher
{
	scope = 1;
	displayName = "Plasma Cannon";
	canLock=1;
	magazines[]={"STA2_RPlasMag"};
	minRange=70;minRangeProbab=0.10;
	midRange=4000;midRangeProbab=0.7;
	maxRange=1000;maxRangeProbab=0.001;
	reloadTime = 30;
 		magazineReloadTime = 30;
	aiRateOfFire=10.0;
	aiRateOfFireDistance=2500;
	sound[]={\ca\Weapons\Data\Sound\RocketLauncher_Shot05,db30,1};
	soundFly[]={\ca\Weapons\Data\Sound\rocket_fly1,db40,0.8};

	//required by game :p
	nameSound = "";
	type = 65536; // Don't know why it's asking for this, because it's already a part of MissileLauncher class. Copied value from MissileLauncher.
	picture =""; //What the heck is this for if it's on a vehicle and not a carried weapon?
	class Library
	{
		libTextDesc = "This is a bullshit description that the game requires for something that shouldn't be part of the armoury.";
	};

};

Error message:

No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWeapons/PlasmaCannon.model'.

Why is it asking me for a model in the PlasmaCannon launcher?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Well, it's a really wild guess but could it be that

class MissleLauncher;

should be

class Miss[b][color="Red"]i[/color][/b]leLauncher;

;)

no wild guesses, it is THE reason it screws up for abs ;) and once it properly inherits from it, you won't need the other stuff you commented as "engine requires"

Gah! Fudge me...that was the second time I made that typo. I fixed it, then had to revert some changes in order to correct other mistakes. This is what happens when you only have a grade three edumacation. ;)

Thanks for the fresh pair of eyes, guys.
