Issue with Config File -- Supply Container

[RichardsD]

Hello ladies/Gentlemen:

I've been trying to get into creating addons from scratch, and with the help of some excellent tutorials, I believe I am very close to being the proud creator of my first addon.. almost. My current issue is, I have created and textured a model with no errors. I used Binpbo to create the model, but when I launch Arma 2 CO, I cannot find the container in any of the empty directories. The tutorial was from OFP, so I am wondering if anything has changed in the config that would now allow me to use this in arma 2?

Thank you.. the download link is below.

Config File (no download required)

class CfgPatches
{
	class Crate
	{
		units[] = {Crate};
		weapons[] = {};
		requiredVersion = 0.1;
                requiredAddons[] = {};
	};
};
class CfgVehicles
{
	class All {};
	class Static: All {};
	class Building: Static {};
	class NonStrategic: Building {};
	class TargetTraining: NonStrategic {};
	class TargetGrenade: TargetTraining {};
	class Crate: TargetGrenade
	{
		model="\crate\crate";
		armor=20000;
		scope=2;
		displayName="LOLOLOL";
	}
}

I set the random display name to hopefully make it stand out, but I still cannot find it in game! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try this

class CfgPatches
{
    class YourTag_Crate
    {
        units[] = {"YourTag_Crate"};
        weapons[] = {};
        requiredVersion = 0.1;
        requiredAddons[] = {"CAData"};
    };
};
class CfgVehicles
{
    class Thing;
    class YourTag_Crate: Thing
    {
        scope = 2;
        displayName = "LOLOLOL";
        model = "\YourTag_crate\YourTag_crate.p3d";
        armor = 20000;
    };
}; 

Adjust the file name and path, and read: http://www.ofpec.com/tags/

I have done modifications to the config file as stated, but when I launch into the editor I receive the following editor

No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Container.scope'.

Config File:

class CfgPatches
{
    class DAR_Crate
    {
        units[] = {"DAR_Crate"};
        weapons[] = {};
        requiredVersion = 0.1;
        requiredAddons[] = {"CAData"};
    };
};
class CfgVehicles
{
    class Container;
    class DAR_Crate: Container
    {
        scope = 2;
        displayName = "US Army PLS Full (7CAV)";
        model = "\DAR_crate\DAR_crate.p3d";
        armor = 20000;
    };
};

Fixed it! I was mistaken about the thing part, and bloody hell it finally works. Thank you so much, I am so proud I made an addon haha!
