Custom Unit problems: config.cpp & model.cfg

[liukang168 1]

Hi folks,

for some reasons I cant make the A3 engine use my infantry model.

So I used a self made model, everything works in oxygen with textures etc.

The model shows up if I delcare it being a static item, but I would like to use it as a soldier ofcourse.

Maybe someone would be so kind as to tell me what i made wrong in my config.cpp and model.cfg

Config.cpp

class CfgPatches
{
          class myclass
          {
                       units[]={};
                       weapons[]={};
                       requiredVersion = 1;
                       requiredAddons[]={};
           };
};
class CfgVehicleClasses
{
           class myclass
           {
                        displayName="my_unit";
           };
};



class CfgVehicles
{
class B_Soldier_base_F;
class myclass: B_Soldier_base_F
{
	model="\myclass\myclass.p3d"; 
	scope=2;
	displayName="my_unit";
	hiddenSelections[]=
	{
		"Camo"
	};
};
};

and for the model cfg i only changed the bottom part to:

class CfgModels
{
class Default
{
	sectionsInherit="";
	sections[] = {};
	skeletonName = "";
};
class myclass : Default  <-------------- CHANGED!
{
	htMin = 60;          // Minimum half-cooling time (in seconds)
	htMax = 1800;        // Maximum half-cooling time (in seconds)
	afMax = 30;          // Maximum temperature in case the model is alive (in celsius)
	mfMax = 0;           // Maximum temperature when the model is moving (in celsius)
	mFact = 1;           // Metabolism factor - number from interval <0, 1> (0 - metabolism has no influence, 1 - metabolism has full influence (no other temperature source will be considered)).
	tBody = 37;  // Metabolism temperature of the model (in celsius)

	sections[] =
	{
		"Head_Injury","Body_Injury","l_leg_injury","l_arm_injury","r_arm_injury","r_leg_injury","injury_body", "injury_legs", "injury_hands",
		"clan","clan_sign","Camo","CamoB","Camo1","Camo2","personality","hl", "injury_head"
	};
	skeletonName = "OFP2_ManSkeleton";
};
};

Thanks for any help.

the unit shows up when I delcare it as a crate, but when I use it as a unit it just shows me the standard soldier

You are inheriting from class B_Soldier_base_F, try adding "A3_Characters_F" to requiredAddons[]={}; so your config knows where to find this external class.

Hell, yeah. How could I forget that. Thanks alot.
