Mod Development - model.cfg & config.cpp help

[jimmybulmer 21]

I am trying to work on some assets for a mod but cant seem to get it to work properly. Everything works fine the model appears in the model viewer from O2 with textures and everything, however when I put it into Arma 3 I cant find the model in the editor. 

Bellow are my model.cfg and an image of it in the model viewer. Any help is appreciated

 

class CfgPatches
{
	class Survive_Level1_Structures
	{
		units[] = {"Land_BushCraftWall_1"};
		weapons[] = {};
		requiredVersion = 0.1;
		requiredAddons[] = {};
	};
};

class CfgVehicles
{
	class Static;
	class Land_BushCraftWall_1 : Static
	{
		scope = 2;
		model = "\Survive_Level1Structures\BushCraftWall01.p3d";
		displayName = "Bushcraft Wall 1";
		vehicleClass = "survive";
	};
};

remove 'vehicleClass = "survive";' or define the custom vehicle class

also static might not have editor categories for Eden configured

tried this and it didnt work. 3den is the only editor now (they have disabled the 2d editor from what I can see and i've had it work with this config before. 

any other suggestions?

Hi Jimmy,

 

Try this, obviously rename all to fit your mod project folder.

 

Config.cpp

http://pastebin.com/RUsn59wr

 

Model.cfg

http://pastebin.com/AgeqxBLx

 

Care to ignore the animation stuff, as it looks as your gate thing doesn't need to animate. Hope I helped :)

 

Regards,

Heisen

 

p.s. In the future, try be more specific when naming your topics for help such as : "config.cpp/model.cfg help?".

Have just tried this and had the same outcome.

I will do that in the future I just threw this together quickly in hope to get responses ASAP.

Oh also when i try to spawn it in using the class name like this: 

createVehicle ["land_bushcraft_wall_1_f", position player, [], "0", "0"];

and get the error: 'Error type string, expected Number

Your last two parameters ("0") are incorrect. Wrapping a number in quotes will turn it into a string. Also, the last parameter does not have a correct value, check the BIKI:

Oh whoops, me being dumb lol. 

Did that anyway and get no errors but still nothing spawns in? I get no errors at anypoint throughout launching the game all the way to closing it.

I didn't notice it before but why are you trying to spawn in "land_bushcraft_wall_1_f"? Your class is called "Land_BushCraftWall_1"
