CfgVehicles Config Reference
Introduction
TokenName Reference
Simply put, Token Name & Value pairs are as follows
SomeName = SomeValue;
Token Names are used extensively throughout ofp 'text' files.
This article details the token-names available in Config.cpp , description.ext and mission.sqm. The primary focus of this document is the TokenNames used for various aspects of controlling models within Addons. Description.ext and mission.sqm are included because many of the 'tokens' are common to all.
For instance, when creating a model using class statements inside a Config.cpp, to access it later, via the mission editor
scope=2;
This article lists token names, their value ranges, and their type.
Where not specifcally specified, the 'useage'of the token name is within Config.cpp, class CfgVehicles.
Legend:
Integer: A signed value that will be held in 4 bytes.
Boolean: An Integer value of 0 or 1. This is a 'convenience type' in humanly readable text. The engine stores it as an integer.
String: Any string value. ALL STRINGS MUST BE ENCLOSED IN QUOTES for Elite. These strings are misinterpreted as #defines otherwise.
Array: An array []={...}
float Array: An array of floats only string Arrray: should be obvious integer Array: ditto Complex Array: A mixture of multiple types, includig embedded arrays.
Variable Array: the number of elements for this array in this class model can have a varying number of elements (depending on context)
Notes: For Models and other items using p3d files, the .p3d extension is not reguired. Similar comment for pac/paa files, and wss (sound) files where appropriate
A
...Action
commanderAction = "ManActTestDriver"; driverAction = "ManActTestDriver"; gunnerAction = "ManActAH1Gunner";
cargoAction
Variable String Array:
cargoAction[] = {"ManActM113Medic","ManActM113Medic","ManActM113Injured"};
Note that unlike driverAction and gunnerAction this is an array. (for multiple positions)
The number of elements in this array correspond to the #transportSoldier value declared for this class.
...InAction
commanderInAction = "ManActTestDriver"; driverInAction = "ManActTestDriver"; gunnerInAction = "ManActTestDriver";
...AngleX
Integer Degrees
initAngleX = 0; minAngleX = -30; maxAngleX = 30;
...AngleY
Integer Degrees
initAngleY = 0; minAngleY = -30; maxAngleY = 30;
initCargoAngleY
Integer Degrees
initCargoAngleY = 185;
access
Integer: Determines the manipulability of the class.
access=1;
0 ReadAndWrite additional values can be added 1 ReadAndCreate only adding new class members is allowed 2 ReadOnly no modifications enabled 3 ReadOnlyVerified no modifications enabled, CRC test applied
All BIS classes are ReadOnlyVerified and can only be inherited into a new class
accuracy
Float: Default value = 0.02.
Determines how easy an object is to identify. Smaller values are easier to detect.
Typically, buildings are 0.2, vehicles, 0.5
A value of 1000 causes the underlying class to be identified instead. Eg bushy trees, pink trees and yellow trees, can all be 'identified' as "trees". The description "bushy trees" is then used solely when Editing. See #VehicleClass
accuracy = 0.2; // buildings accuracy = 0.5; //small vehicles accuracy = 0.9;//truck accuracy = 3.500000;//sniper accuracy = 1.500000;//lawsoldier accuracy = 1000;//soldier // identify (most) solders as 'man'

commanding
new Integer: part of Turret class
commanding = -1;
cost
Integer: Default Value 50,0000
This value reflects the attractiveness of the target to the enemu ai. _when_ all other considerations are equal. A soldier eg is not interested in Air, despite it's highly attractive cost values. On the other hand, he is interested in a medic, since a medic (in normal configs) has a (whiel small) a higher cost, than others in the group, including the officer.
cost = 10000000;// an air vehicle is typically this value cost = 8; // a medic; cost = 1; // a grunt cost = 4; // an officer cost = 0; // most buildings;

displayName
String: Default value = "Unknown" or "Vehicle"
Selects object uniquely in the Mission Editor, and separately, is used to identify object in game according to #accuracy. For instance when pointing your men to an object while in a mission, it is this displayName that is used.
It is good practice to use a stringtable.csv that should accompany your addon so that
- All names and labels are in one place instead of hunting for them.
- For language differences
displayName = "$STR_DN_AH1Z";
Note, that will careful crafting of classes, different colored 'rocks' can all be called the same displayName (rock) in the mission itself. See #scope and #accuracy for details.
See #nameSound for definition of what is actually 'said'

This array is used for soldiers (eg) to heal (eg) when they come close to a medic. It is a preferential way of dealing with Actions. Ie hide them, rather than disable them.
hiddenSelections[] = {"pruh"}; // bmp/tank
hiddenSelections[] = {ammo}; // trucks
hiddenSelections[] = {medic}; // soldiers
Note that "ammo", "pruh" and "medic" are GROUP Actions. They can define more than one action.
pruh for instance allows getting in several positions of the vehicle.
'medic' not only allows healing.
Because this is an array, multiple and different group actions, are possible.

ladders[] = { {"start","end" } }; // a building wiht one ladder
ladders[] = { {"start1","end1" } , {"start2","end2" } };// two ladder building

mainRotorSpeed
new Integer:
mainRotorSpeed = -1;
backRotorSpeed
new Float backRotorSpeed = 1.0;
hmmm, that's curious, it accepts floats or ints.
mapSize
Float: Default Value = 10 (meters).
Used for the map editor to show the icon associated with this model class.
There is no x y component to this, the meaurement units are meters.
To creat a circular, rectangular or other 'non sqaure' image, you need to make a pac file for the icon with, a transparent layer.
mapSize = 0.7; // small object such as a tree mapSize = 4; // a small'ish building
The Mission Editor map is not very good in this regard (as noted above). However, the main problem is the base classes of the engine. The mapSize= for most objects, particularly buildings, is a one shoe fits all. A forest, eg, is the same mapSize= as a tree !!!
Later Oem addons, *generally* are better and more specific in this regard, making position and fitting a little easier.

model
String: Default Value= "empty.p3d"
Location in the addon where the p3d model resides.
model = "\AddonName\anyp3d(.p3d)";
Whera a class is not a visible 'object', such as a BaseClass. You can specify
model="";
this cuts down on load and access.

name
String: Used only in HitXXX classes i think.
name = "motor";
nameSound
String: Default value: "Target"
Namesound is used by the AI audio to indicate verbally where to go, what 'vehicle' to attack. Thus the audio speech "move to 'rock' 3 o'clock' is derived from the nameSound.
nameSound = "rock";
Many different nameSounds can be selected. Here are just a few.
nameSound = crew; nameSound = target; nameSound = tank; nameSound = house;
The actual descriptive text accompanying the 'sound' can be different see #displayName
Typically, a collection of buildings (eg) will be configured as follows
class GenBuilding : NonStrategic
{
scope=private; // internal use only
VehicleClass="Some Editor Group Name";
namesound="house";
};
class YellowBuilding: GenBuilding
{

S
scope
Integer: Default value = private.
scope = public;
Scope in concept is the same as the C++ reserved words of public, protected and private.
Defines normally exist at the top of a well written config.cpp to make meanings clearer.
#define private 0 #define protected 1 #define public 2
The meaning of each is as follows
private:
only other classes within the same config cpp can access, or 'inherit' this class.
public:
Any classes declared public are CamCreateabale, and selectable via the Editor.
protected:
Identical to public, except the class will not be listed in the mission editor. A very common form of use for this is
class vegetables
{
scope=protected;
VehicleClass="Vegetables.
namesound= whatever;
icon= "vegetableIcon.paa";
/// put any other common characteristics in here
};
class GreenOnions : vegetables
{
scope = public;
name="Green Onion;
}
class PurpleOnion : vegetables
{
....
The effect here is to reduce (considerably) not only the amount of typing, but memory storage too. It is only the public classes that are listed in the Mission Editor. So in above example while each one of these has a separate name=, they are ALL grouped' in the Editor's 'Vegetables'
In the above example, it is just as useful to declare the base class 'private. But, see below, and see #accuracy
Protected classes are CamCreatable in the mission.sqm.
Protected classes are immensely useful to 'hide' obsolete models that are still required to maintain compatibility with older missions. Ie older missions will still be playable, but newly created ones will only 'get at' the newer improvements specified in a public class. This
class OriginalThing
{
scope=protected;
....
// lots of original things
....
};
class ImprovedThing : OriginalThing //<<<< inherits it all
{
scope=public;
...
// lots of new improved things

The side, when declared, sets the 'vehicle' to east, west, resistance, civilian. The effect differs according to the 'vehicle' itself. Eg soldiers, versus hospitals or repair trucks that can only be used by same side, if specifically sided.
Well written missions (and configs) use defines at top of file to make this more legible.
#define NO_SIDE -1 #define EAST 0 // (Russian) #define WEST 1 // (Nato) #define RESISISTANCE 2 // Guerilla #define CIVILIAN 3 #define NEUTRAL 4 #define ENEMY 5 #define FRIENDLY 6 #define LOGIC 7
side = EAST;
NEUTRAL is the general case for all objects.
NO_SIDE is used for ambient seagulls and wolves (see #sound). It differs from NEUTRAL in that the engine spends no time looking for interraction with other objects.
simulation

Values vary depending on exact tupe of 'boat' eg.
These TokenNames ate used to indicate how many units of each type an object can hold. Most objects can't hold anything.
transportSoldier
Integer: Default Value= 0.
Number of 'passengers' this vehicle can carry. The value does not include the driver, nor any vehicle positions such as gunnder (if any) or commander(if any)

transportVehiclesCount = 15; // a Carrier (big ship)
transportVehiclesMass
Integer: Default 0
transportVehiclesMass = 0; // not used by any model
type (threat)
Integer: Default Value: Armored
This indicates the threat type of the 'vehicle'.
In well written configs, the 3 possible values are declared as defines at top of file for legibility
#define VSoft 0 #define VArmor 1 #define VAir 2
type = VAir;
Vehicles (and buildings) are armoured, humans are 'soft' and aircraft (obviously) are air
