How do I...

[Clavicula_nox4817 0]

Define a new class?

For example. The class for the regular BLUFOR rifleman is SoldierWB, what would I have to do to make additional soldiers with my own set attributes? Can it be done in the config.cpp or would have to be done in a Cfgvehicles then annotated in the config.cpp then raped into config.bin?

I'm not trying to rename a class and point it to the external class as seen here:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">/*extern*/ class SquadLeaderW;

class me_SquadLeaderW: SquadLeaderW

{

model = "\USASOC_Troopr\us_soldier_sqleader";

vehicleClass = "spec_Men";

I want to make a brand new class, none of the tutorials I have seem to have an answer for me.

Moving to a more appropiate place.

You have to do it that way:<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class CfgVehicles

{

class old_class;

class new_class: old_class

{

... new definitions ...

};

};

Alright, thanks. sorry for the wrong forum.

*edit*

Does this modify the pre-existing class or create a new one?

[dm 9]

Creates a new one, inheriting all the information from the old one.

Doesnt modify the original class in any way.

[Clavicula_nox4817 0]

Alright, and then if I want to modify the attributes I can modify them in the entry in the config.cpp?

*edit*

Should have read closer, the answer was right there.

I'm getting this error whenever I try to intialize ArmA, but can't find anything wrong in my config. Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful. I'm messing around with it, and it seems to be somewhere in the way I define the second class.

It also appears that only one new class can be defined with the above method in the .cpp as it pops up a "member already defined" error to me if I try to make the second entry off of the SquadLeaderW.

Remove all /"extern"/. Also, make sure you have a ; at the end of every line. At last, you don't have to load a class again, if you did it already previously.

Should have read closer, the answer was right there.

Give it time and the knowledge will come. I assume you're quite new to flashpoint or more accurately put Arma. I bet me and quite a few others will still be referring to Arma as flashpoint for about another ten years to come

It takes ages to be able to speed read a config and see what's wrong with it. It took me over 2 years on and off before I started to pick it up.

Well,not new to the game, just new to making addons and using the scripting. I'v owned a copy of Flashpoint since before Red Hammer and it's easily my favorite game.
