Class inheriting problem

[br_ac_army1 2]

I have some problem creating copies of some weapons in Arma III. I created a new file and called classes to inherit from them.
However, if I just use class hgun_ACPC2_F, it says that my new weapon has undefined class "Single". If I use class hgun_ACPC2_F { class Single; class WeaponSlotsInfo; }, my weapon starts working wrong (infinite ammo, no sound, puts away when pressing F).

What should I do?

I have some problem creating copies of some weapons in Arma III. I created a new file and called classes to inherit from them.

I have 10 modified weapons:

- ACP .45
- 4-five .45
- Rook-40 9mm
- Mk18 EBR 7.62mm
- GM6 Lynx 12.7mm
- MXC 6.5mm
- MX 3GL 6.5mm
- Sting 9mm
- Zafir 7.62mm
- TRG-21 EGLM 5.56mm

The problem is if I just use:

class hgun_ACPC2_F;
class hgun_Pistol_heavy_01_F;
...

then Arma 3 says that my new weapon has undefined class "Single". However If I use:

class hgun_ACPC2_F { class Single; };
class hgun_Pistol_heavy_01_F { class Single; };
...

then I have the most interesting part:

- ACP .45 - the original and modified versions work normal,
- 4-five .45 - the original and modified versions work normal,
- Rook-40 9mm - the original and modified versions work normal,
- Mk18 EBR 7.62mm - the original and modified versions work wrong (infinite ammo, no sound, puts away when pressing F),
- GM6 Lynx 12.7mm - the original and modified versions work wrong (infinite ammo, no sound, puts away when pressing F),
- MXC 6.5mm - the original and modified versions work normal,
- MX 3GL 6.5mm - the original and modified versions work wrong (infinite ammo, no sound, puts away when pressing F)
- Sting 9mm - the original and modified versions disappeared at all!!!
- Zafir 7.62mm - original weapon works correct, but a modified one doesn't want to fire,
- TRG-21 EGLM 5.56mm - original weapon works correct, but a modified one just disappeared

So that some weapons works correct and other ones don't.

Please, give me some advice about what should I do?

Your best bet for correct inheritance is to check how each class inherits its config entries.

For example, you can use the following for your first two classes:

	class hgun_ACPC2_F: Pistol_Base_F
	{
		class WeaponSlotsInfo;
	};	
	class hgun_Pistol_heavy_02_F: Pistol_Base_F
	{
		class WeaponSlotsInfo;
	};

Then just refer to each of the remaining classes inheritance trees for the remainder of your config base class setup.

Thanks for your help! Actually I've already found a solution for my problem. I decided to add class WeaponSlotsInfo to my code and inherit other classes in modified weapons. So, I have something like:
 

class WeaponSlotsInfo;
class srifle_DMR_02_cheat_F: srifle_DMR_02_F
{
		// Some code
		modes[] = {"SingleB","single_close_optics1","single_medium_optics1","single_far_optics1"}; 
  		// replacing Single to SingleB
		class Single;
		class SingleB: Single {
			// My code
		};
		class single_close_optics1: SingleB {
			// Copying from original
		};
		class single_medium_optics1: single_close_optics1 {
			// Copying from original
		};
		class single_far_optics1: single_medium_optics1 {
			// Copying from original
		};
		class WeaponSlotsInfo: WeaponSlotsInfo{
			// Copying from original with minor changes
		};
};
