So you first need to read some things, then we can discuss them:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Class_Inheritance
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Creating_an_Addon

How you doing @lethal smelt . Figure it out?
I read through class inheritance yesterday. I was going to read through the other two after work. I got a couple of questions I’ve gathered up that I’ll list when I’ve fully read everything
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Work doesn't leave much free time. Anyway, I read through those three pages. I think I get a general idea of how to create an addon, but the examples left on the page don't really do it for me and I learn pretty well by comparing examples.
I don’t know if you have more knowledge to drop on me, if not, I can take a shot at a really simple faction add on and you can give me criticism
We can voice chat if you want sometime
Take a shot and let's see what you come up with @lethal smelt
I'd love to have a voice chat to walk me through what I'm trying to learn.
Couple of things I need clarity for
1 - I'm not sure how to look up the classnames for other addons I want to have in my addon. So I want to use RHS weapons for the rifleman, but I dodn't really understand how to look for the classname or how to add it in.
2 - I want all the soldiers to have heads from the babyface addon by Hautautuja, but I'm not 100% sure how to implement
3- I'm completely lost on adding in vehicles
4- I'm not sure how to have a unit spawn in with a patch (like the 111th division patch)
are you using an ide like visual studio code for this?
All lines: make sure you end them with a semicolon ;
All arrays (between {}) need to not have a trailing comma ,
line 16: missing []
line 21: missing []
line 61: extra quotes " - causes the rest of the file to be a string and mess up
lines 91 to 105 - anything that is a config array example[] = {} needs to have the closing brackets, even if empty {}
My_Soldier_Base should inherit from a base arma soldier class. you are missing 90% of the config in your current way
I was only using Notepad++, I didn't even know about visual studio code. I might need to chat with you when you have the chance, I didn't realize I was missing so much
I haven't done any type of scripting before, so I may be completely out of my depth here
@lethal smelt i'll be online for about 4 more hours or so.
I'm up but my wife is asleep, so I'm trying to be quiet for her. If you're available anytime tomorrow evening or anytime during the weekend it'd be cool to chat
