CfgAmmo - Need help with this

[Constable_ 0]

Hey guys;

 

First off, I'm new to the forums, so apologies if I'm in the wrong place.

 

That said, I'm having a really hard time figuring out what I'm doing wrong with this code snippet. I'm trying to define ammo types for the 30mm autocannon, but it keeps giving me an error on line 1070 when I attempt to launch the game. I can't figure out what I've done wrong - help!

 

class CfgAmmo
{
	class Grenade;
	class B_762x51_Ball;
	class CAF_B_762x51_Ball: B_762x51_Ball
	{
	};
	class B_30mm_MP_Tracer_Green;
	class autocannon_30mm_CTWS: B_30mm_MP_Tracer_Green
	{
	};
	class B_30mm_APFSDS_Tracer_Red;
	class autocannon_30mm_CTWS: B_30mm_APFSDS_Tracer_Red
	{
	};
	class BulletBase;
	class SmokeLauncherAmmo: BulletBase
	{
	};
	class 76mm_smoke: SmokeLauncherAmmo
	{
	};
	class 76mm_grenade: Grenade
	{
	};
};

Stay consistent somewhere. We don't need the line number with this bit of script. On the other hand, the error message could help.

[Constable_ 0]

Sure thing. The full error message is:

 

Quote

File caf_lav3\config.cpp, line 1070:

/CfgAmmo.autocannon_30mm_CTWS: Member already defined.

It doesn't generate a log file, and causes a crash during the startup process.

 

Here's my CfgMagazines, too, in case it helps.

The error message says exactly what is wrong.

class B_30mm_MP_Tracer_Green;
class autocannon_30mm_CTWS: B_30mm_MP_Tracer_Green {};
class B_30mm_APFSDS_Tracer_Red;
class autocannon_30mm_CTWS: B_30mm_APFSDS_Tracer_Red {};

You've got the "autocannon_30mm_CTWS" class defined twice. You'll need to define two versions of the 30mm_CTWS for the two parents.

Okay, so I've corrected CfgAmmo, and the game launches now, but the gun doesn't have ammo when the vehicle is spawned. What's wrong now?

[jAMDup 2]

In your turret class, have you added magazines to the array?

[Constable_ 0]

How do I do that, exactly?

 

Sorry, I'm very new to this.

 

EDIT: Figured it out, and it works! Thanks, jAMDup!
