Tinkering with the mortars

[Rich_R 1087]

Our group wants to use the two mortar backpacks (plate and tube) but would also like the unit to carry extra stuff. I can increase the size of the bag and even reskin it, but the tube wont assemble with the custom plate. The custom tube will work with a vanilla plate, but not the custom one. The custom plate won't work with anything.....lol

This what I've done in my config file

	class aaa_mortar21_supp_bagpack : B_Mortar_01_support_F {

	displayName = "AAA Whiskey Plate Backpack";
	model = "\A3\weapons_f\Ammoboxes\bags\Backpack_Fast";
	hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\AAA_units\bags\BP_2_1_co.paa"};	
	side=1	
	scope = 2;	
	maximumLoad = 280;
	mass = 50;
			class TransportMagazines {
				class _xx_100Rnd_mas_762x51_T_Stanag {
				magazine = "100Rnd_mas_762x51_T_Stanag";
				count = 5;
				};
				};
			class TransportItems {

				class _xx_aaa_Delta02_Helmet_paint{
							name="aaa_Delta02_Helmet_paint";
							count = 1;
					};};
			class TransportWeapons {};		
			};


class aaa_mortar24_bagpack : B_Mortar_01_weapon_F {

	displayName = "AAA Whiskey Mortar Backpack";
	model = "\A3\weapons_f\Ammoboxes\bags\Backpack_Fast";
	hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\AAA_units\bags\BP_2_4_co.paa"};	
	side=1
	scope = 2;	
	maximumLoad = 280;
	mass = 50;

			class TransportMagazines {
				class _xx_100Rnd_mas_762x51_T_Stanag {
				magazine = "100Rnd_mas_762x51_T_Stanag";
				count = 5;
				};
				};
			class TransportItems {

				class _xx_aaa_Delta02_Helmet_paint{
							name="aaa_Delta02_Helmet_paint";
							count = 1;
					};};
			class TransportWeapons {};
			};

Any ideas?

Look for the properties on how the mortars are assembled in the first place. It's probably be looking for the class names of the two vanilla backpacks, and since you've created new class names, it's not going to work. You might need to create a new mortar, inheriting from the old, and changing the combine backpacks to your new ones. I haven't played with the static weapons yet, but if I did that's where I'd start.

Thanks for the quick response.

Tried finding them in the vanilla pack and couldn't see them. I''l keep looking.
