JCass 1 Posted March 9, 2018 The title says it all. I'm trying to wrap my head around making units for arma, but running into problems as usual. I have spent a lot of time with the mission editor and have gotten somewhat comfortable with basic scripting but I'm afraid I'm going to need some help with this one. here is a rundown of my problem: I've put together my .p3d for my unit (a dune buggy). This vehicle has no windows, so I omitted the glass hitpoint memory LODs in my model. Using the config.ccp from the arma car sample, i attempted to edit this to reflect my buggy. In doing so I removed the references to glass hitpoints but seem to have damaged something in the process. As this is my first addon attempt, I'm sure some of the smarter people around here can find numerous other errors also (one i know about already is my gunner seating position). I'm pretty good at trial and error, but I have poured over this file and I cant find the problem. Here is the error I'm getting: Quote File P:\Vehicles\Buggy\config.cpp, line 84: Config: 'p' encountered instead of '{' and here is my config.cpp: Quote #include "basicdefines_A3.hpp" class DefaultEventhandlers; class CfgPatches { class Buggy{ units[] = {"Buggy"}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 0.1; requiredAddons[] = {A3_Soft_F}; }; }; class WeaponFireGun; class WeaponCloudsGun; class WeaponFireMGun; class WeaponCloudsMGun; class CfgVehicles { class Car; class Car_F: Car { class HitPoints /// we want to use hitpoints predefined for all cars { class HitLFWheel; class HitLF2Wheel; class HitRFWheel; class HitRF2Wheel; class HitBody; }; class EventHandlers; }; class Buggy: Car_F { model = "\Vehicles\Buggy\Buggy.p3d"; /// simple path to model picture = "\A3\Weapons_F\Data\placeholder_co.paa"; /// just some icon in command bar Icon = "\A3\Weapons_F\Data\placeholder_co.paa"; /// icon in map displayName = "Jons Buggy Test"; /// displayed in Editor hiddenSelections[] = {"camo1"}; ///we want to allow changing the color of this selection terrainCoef = 6.5; /// different surface affects this car more, stick to tarmac turnCoef = 2.5; /// should match the wheel turn radius precision = 10; /// how much freedom has the AI for its internal waypoints - lower number means more precise but slower approach to way brakeDistance = 3.0; /// how many internal waypoints should the AI plan braking in advance acceleration = 15; /// how fast acceleration does the AI think the car has fireResistance = 5; /// lesser protection against fire than tanks armor = 32; /// just some protection against missiles, collisions and explosions cost = 50000; /// how likely is the enemy going to target this vehicle transportMaxBackpacks = 2; /// just some backpacks fit the trunk by default transportSoldier = 2; /// number of cargo except driver /// some values from parent class to show how to set them up wheelDamageRadiusCoef = 0.9; /// for precision tweaking of damaged wheel size wheelDestroyRadiusCoef = 0.4; /// for tweaking of rims size to fit ground maxFordingDepth = 0.5; /// how high water would damage the engine of the car waterResistance = 1; /// if the depth of water is bigger than maxFordingDepth it starts to damage the engine after this time crewCrashProtection = 0.25; /// multiplier of damage to crew of the vehicle => low number means better protection driverLeftHandAnimName = "drivewheel"; /// according to what bone in model of car does hand move driverRightHandAnimName = "drivewheel"; /// beware, non-existent bones may cause game crashes (even if the bones are hidden during play) class TransportItems /// some first aid kits in trunk according to safety regulations { item_xx(FirstAidKit,4); }; class Turrets{}; /// doesn't have any gunner nor commander class HitPoints: HitPoints { class HitLFWheel: HitLFWheel {armor=0.125; passThrough=0;}; /// it is easier to destroy wheels than hull of the vehicle class HitLF2Wheel: HitLF2Wheel {armor=0.125; passThrough=0;}; class HitRFWheel: HitRFWheel {armor=0.125; passThrough=0;}; class HitRF2Wheel: HitRF2Wheel {armor=0.125; passThrough=0;}; class HitFuel {armor=0.50; material=-1; name="fueltank"; visual=""; passThrough=0.2;}; /// correct points for fuel tank, some of the damage is aFRLied to the whole class HitEngine {armor=0.50; material=-1; name="engine"; visual=""; passThrough=0.2;}; class HitBody: HitBody {name = "body"; visual="camo1"; passThrough=1;}; /// all damage to the hull is aFRLied to total damage }; driverAction = driver_low01; /// what action is going the driver take inside the vehicle.

I have so many vehicles I want to build, if I can just figure out this final part of the process! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
