Creating a new unit

[ShadowOps 0]

Hi

For a mission that i'm working on, I'm looking to create a new unit type, specifically a Female Civilian Doctor. The unit would be based off the CDF Medic, but would use the model for Damsel 2 (Green). I remember back in ArmA that this would be done by creating a config.cpp which would have all the class definitions, e.g.

// some basic defines
#define East 0
#define West 1
#define Guerrila 2
#define Civilian 3
#define SideUnknown 4
#define Enemy 5
#define Friendly 6
#define Logic 7

#define true 1
#define false 0

// type scope
#define private 0
#define protected 1
#define public 2

#define WeaponNoSlot 0 			// dummy weapons
#define WeaponSlotPrimary 1 		// primary weapons
#define WeaponSlotSecondary 16 		// secondary weapons
#define WeaponSlotItem 256 		// items
#define WeaponSlotBinocular 4096 	// binocular
#define WeaponHardMounted 65536

class CfgPatches
{
class COTD
{
	units[] = {"Female_Doctor"};
	requiredAddons[] = {"CACharacters"};  		
                         weapons[] = {};
	requiredVersion = 1.00;
};
};

class CfgVehicleClasses
{
class Civilians
{
	displayName = "Civilians";
};
};

class CfgVehicles
{
class CDF_Soldier_Medic; 

class Female_Doctor: CDF_Soldier_Medic
{
	displayName="Female Doctor";
	vehicleClass = "COTDClass";
	side=1;	
	model = "\ca\characters\Damsel2";
};	
};

Is there anything different I need to do to make a unit like this for ArmA 2?

You need to add:

woman=1;

and you have not defined (at least not in your config shown here)

"COTDClass" vehicle class anywhere

I would say you have an easier life, if you inherit the damsel

which has all female attributes including animations, skeleton etc.

and then just add

attendant=1;

You would also get more help here : Arma2 Editing configs and scripting

AFAIK the women in ArmA2 are nerfed. Big time, can't run, can't drive, can't use weapons. Quite an annoyance really.
