class CargoTurret inheritance

[pcc 14]

I want to override some CargoTurret classes of vehicles but the properties aren't overriding in my attempts.

class Heli_Light_01_unarmed_base_F: Heli_Light_01_base_F
{
    class Turrets;
    class CopilotTurret;
};
class B_Heli_Light_01_F: Heli_Light_01_unarmed_base_F
{
        class Turrets: Turrets
        {
            class CopilotTurret: CopilotTurret
            {
                //works
            };
            class CargoTurret_01;  
            class CargoTurret_02;
            class CargoTurret_01: CargoTurret_01
            {
                //Doesn't work
            };
            class CargoTurret_02: CargoTurret_02
            {
                //Doesn't work
            };
            ...
        }; 
};

};

 

I would actually say that whole inheritance is not working since there are couple of errors.

 

* You cannot have external reference (class CargoTurret_01;) & class definition (class CargoTurret_01: CargoTurret_01) in same scope. You need to unflod inheritance to one level deeper.

* class CopilotTurret; doesn't exists in class Heli_Light_01_unarmed_base_F, it's part of class Turrets

Take a look at this example - here you can see how deep you have to go go if you want to to replace one thing in turret config 😉

	class LandVehicle;
	class Tank: LandVehicle
	{
		class NewTurret;
	};
	class Tank_F: Tank
	{
		class Turrets
		{
			class MainTurret: NewTurret
			{
				class Turrets
				{
					class CommanderOptics;
				};
			};
		};
	};
	class rhs_a3t72tank_base: Tank_F
	{
		class Turrets: Turrets
		{
			class MainTurret: MainTurret
			{
				class Turrets: Turrets
				{
					class CommanderOptics;
					class CommanderMG;
				};
			};
		};
	};
	class rhs_t72ba_tv: rhs_a3t72tank_base
	{
	};
	class rhsgref_cdf_t72ba_tv: rhs_t72ba_tv
	{
		class Turrets: Turrets
		{
			class MainTurret: MainTurret
			{
				magazines[] =
					{
					"rhs_mag_3bm32_7",
					"rhs_mag_3bk18_6",
					"rhs_mag_3of26_5",
					"rhs_mag_9m119_4",
					"rhs_mag_762x54mm_250",
					"rhs_mag_762x54mm_250",
					"rhs_mag_762x54mm_250",
					"rhs_mag_762x54mm_250",
					"rhs_mag_762x54mm_250",
					"rhs_mag_762x54mm_250",
					"rhs_mag_762x54mm_250",
					"rhs_mag_762x54mm_250",
					"rhs_mag_3d17",
					"rhs_LaserFCSMag"
				};
				class Turrets: Turrets
				{
					class CommanderOptics: CommanderOptics
					{
						gunnerType="rhsgref_cdf_reg_crew_commander";
					};
					class CommanderMG: CommanderMG {};
				};
			};
		};
	};

Do you have an example with CargoTurret classes?  

I'm still stuck because CargoTurret and CargoTurret_01 doesn't exist in classes above B_Heli_Light_01_F.  Is it still possible to override it without having to copy its entire default properties?.  

I managed to get copilot to autoeject when dead, but I can't get the ones in cargoturrets seats to eject.

That shouldn't be an issue - just try to unpack original addon or use all in one config dump ( https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/191737-updated-all-in-one-config-dumps/?page=2 ) to check original inheritance structure and then try to recreate it in your addon.

Page that I linked before ( https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Class_Inheritance ) should be more than enough to understand that concept.

No, you always have to recreate inheritance structure of objects that you are modifying.
