[CptDezusa 31]

Good morning, i have making my first retexter of units and vest in arma 3 this days and i have follow some good steps how to get this to work, i'm almost done with my first marines, but i can't get the vest to show armor in the virtual arsenal in game, can some on help me with this.

 

class VestItem; 
    class Vest_Camo_Base: ItemCore 
    { 
        class ItemInfo; 
    }; 
     
    class Custom_Vest1: Vest_Camo_Base 
    { 
        scope = 2; 
        displayName = "IVS Marin Platecarrier"; 
        picture = "\Custom_Uniform\UI\custom_patch_co.paa"; 
        model = "A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\equip_b_Vest01"; 
        hiddenSelections[] = {"Camo"}; 
        hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"Custom_Uniform\Data\custom_vest_co.paa"}; 
        class ItemInfo: VestItem 
        { 
            uniformModel = "A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\equip_b_Vest01.p3d"; 
            containerClass = "Supply120"; 
            mass = 100; 
			hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"}; 
        }; 
		class HitpointsProtectionInfo
			{
				class Chest
				{
					HitpointName="HitChest";
					armor=20;
					PassThrough=0.2;
				};
				class Diaphragm
				{
					HitpointName="HitDiaphragm";
					armor=20;
					PassThrough=0.2;
				};
				class Abdomen
				{
					hitpointName="HitAbdomen";
					armor=20;
					passThrough=0.2;
				};
				class Body
				{
					hitpointName="HitBody";
					passThrough=0.2;
				};
			};
		};

The reason it doesn't work is because you have closed off the ItemInfo section with a }; before you've defined the armour values (which need to be within the ItemInfo section) like so:

        class ItemInfo: VestItem 
        { 
            uniformModel = "A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\equip_b_Vest01.p3d"; 
            containerClass = "Supply120"; 
            mass = 100; 
            hiddenSelections[] = {"camo"}; 

            class HitpointsProtectionInfo
            {
            	class Chest
		{
			HitpointName="HitChest";
			armor=20;
			PassThrough=0.2;
		};
		class Diaphragm
		{
			HitpointName="HitDiaphragm";
			armor=20;
			PassThrough=0.2;
		};
		class Abdomen
		{
			hitpointName="HitAbdomen";
			armor=20;
			passThrough=0.2;
		};
		class Body
		{
			hitpointName="HitBody";
			passThrough=0.2;
		};
	};
};

Thank you it work now, its looks like this now   :dancehead: 

 

class VestItem;
	class Vest_Camo_Base: ItemCore
	{
		class ItemInfo;
	};
	class Custom_Vest1: Vest_Camo_Base
	{
		scope=2;
		displayName="[IVS] Marin Platecarrier";
		picture="\A3\characters_f\Data\UI\icon_v_tacvest_blk_ca.paa";
		model="A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\equip_b_Vest01";
		descriptionShort="$STR_A3_SP_AL_IV";
		hiddenSelections[]=	{"camo"};
		hiddenSelectionsTextures[]= {"Custom_Uniform\Data\custom_vest_co.paa"};
		class ItemInfo: VestItem
		{
			uniformModel="A3\Characters_F\BLUFOR\equip_b_Vest01";
			containerClass="Supply120";
			mass=100;
			hiddenSelections[]=	{"camo"};
			class HitpointsProtectionInfo
			{
				class Chest
				{
					HitpointName="HitChest";
					armor=20;
					PassThrough=0.2;
				};
				class Diaphragm
				{
					HitpointName="HitDiaphragm";
					armor=20;
					PassThrough=0.2;
				};
				class Abdomen
				{
					hitpointName="HitAbdomen";
					armor=20;

Hey, i'm new on the forum so i'm not able to make a new forum post just yet.

I'm also having issues with the vest config, recently did a reskin of some uniforms and vest There are 3 separate skins that i'm trying to put on the same type of vest, but when i try to do the same with the vest i just get  "undefined base class" error. I've never tried anything like this before so i'm guessing this is a rookie mistake.

Your config is outdated as you use the old-fashioned (and now deprecated) "armor=X" parameter instead of the new hitpoint-based protection values. Without seeing the rest of the config (and getting the FULL error message) there isn't much that we can do to help.
