armor (integer)[]

Float: A strength value of the object, how much external damage can be taken before 'destruction'. It is calculated together with object volume size! (bounding sphere calculated in geometry) Below are general ranges to give some idea.

approx strength = (0.27/tgtRadius)^2 / armorInConfig

armor = 3;			// man
armor = 10;			// motorcycle
armor = 20;			// a small car 
armor = 15..60;		// aircraft
armor = 150;		// buildings
armor = 150..300;	// bmp
armor = 400...900;	// tank
armor = 300;		// boat
armor = 10000;		// ship

If unspecified (or not inherited) the default value is 30

1 bullet will kill armor <=20

2 bullets <=40

3 bullets 50

camouflage[]

Float: Default Value = 2.

how difficult to spot. bigger = easier

camouflage = 0.6;	// snipers
camouflage = 1;		// man
camouflage = 4;		// trucks
camouflage = 8;		// tanks

Relationship to #accuracy:

camouflage defines how hard it is for the AI to see that the unit is there. The AI will not spot an enemy that has a camouflage setting of 0 (maybe this needs some more testing) even if it stands directly in front of it as long as the enemy doesn't fire.

accuracy defines how hard it is for the AI to recognise the correct class of a unit. But even if it can't recognise the correct class it can still recognise it as an enemy and engage it.

Embedded ClassNames[]

Some Token Names are encountered only within an embedded classname, rather than the main 'vehicle' body.

An embedded classname conveniently adds a unique feature to the 'vehicle'. Such as smoke, such as, a turret for a tank.

Embedded class names are used extensively in animated buildings for the quite logical reason that identical Token Names for door1 cannot be the same as Door2.

Below is a list of embedded classnames that (in most cases) use a TokenName uniquely. It is not found elsewhere and is better served describing that Token Name in the context it is found in, ie, an embedded class.

enableSweep[]

Bool: Default true. Used by Helicopter class

enableSweep = false;	/ /UH60MG

Is sweeping over the target a valid technique for given helicopter?

envelope[]

Float Array

// lift (G) based on speed
envelope[] = {
	// speed relative to max. speed -> lift
	// 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4	// rel. speed
	0.0, 0.2, 0.9, 2.1, 2.5, 3.3, 3.5, 3.2, 2.5, 2.0, 1.5, 1.0, 0.9, 0.7, 0.5	// lift
};

Info by RKSL-Rock:

The top speed is set via the mass. So you will need MLODs to alter it. So it is the same issue as the original OP.

The config maxspeed value is only really used by the AI and the engine as a base variable in some calculations.

You can change the acceleration though by using the envelope command. This will change the vertical speed relative to the maxspeed in the config in steps of 10% of the stated max speed.

This is the envelope from the RKSL Lynx AH7:

envelope[] = {1.7, 2.50, 3.50, 4.50, 5.50, 5.50, 5.15, 5.15, 5.15, 5.15, 4.15, 3.15, 2.15, 2.15, 1.15};

There are normally 15 values representing the vertical lift in m/s at 10% steps from 0 to 140% of the max speed.

So, if the max speed is 500 and the first value is always 0:

2nd value = 50kph and 2.5 m/s vertical speed 3rd value = 100kph and 3.5 m/s vertical speed ... 11th value = 500kph and 4.15 m/s vertical speed ... 15th value = 700kph and 1.15 m/s vertical speed.

You wont affect the top speed but it will make it easier to handle.

EventHandlers... Class[]

Pre-defined object Event Handlers. Property with class matches the handler name.

class EventHandlers
{
	init = "myAddon_object = _this select 0;";
};

Arma 3 introduced extended event handlers. It's possible to define event handlers within unique sub-classes, which prevents compatibility issues when multiple addons wants to set the same handler type to single vehicle class.

class EventHandlers
{
	class MyAddon

gunAimDown[]

Description: Aircraft only. How far a hardpoint-mounted gun "aims down"; high values allow for strafing runs without the need to nose-dive down too much, but also shift the targeting reticle in the aircraft's HUD; if too high, targeting reticle is only visible in 3rd Person (if available).

...HeadTurnAI[]

Integer Degrees

minHeadTurnAI = -70;	// man class
maxHeadTurnAI = 70;

hiddenSelections[]

String Array: Default none.

Here you can define selections on the model, which are not shown at mission startup. This is useful for creating variations of one model, where the different selections are left out with hiddenSelections. (ex: Soldiers have the hidden selection "medic", as they should not have a red cross at their body):

Aside from this, the hidden selections are used for runtime texture assignment. Every element in the hidden selection-array corresponds to an index, with the first element being 0. Only 10 elements are allowed in the array and are numbered 0-9.

hiddenSelections[] = {"pruh"}; // bmp/tank

Try this setObjectTexture [0, "\data\duha.pac"]; in the initline of a BMP and you'll see which parts are meant by the selection "pruh".

Don't forget to add the model and the selections in the CfgModels, as the hidden selections won't work otherwise (at least not after binarizing).

Disabling it will make the vehicle NOT to be engaged by infantry anti-tank gunners nor vehicle weapons. It will only be engaged by small arms, and only if its armor value is low enough for AI infantry to think it can damage it by shooting at it.

irTarget = false;	// man

isBicycle[]

this value inside the motorcycle class is used to turn it on when inheriting to a real bicycle

isMan[]

Bool: Default true.

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

Note that unfortunately, the 'start' and 'end' labels are arbitrary for each model. You cannot have a generic ladder building as such.

		magazine = M16;
		count = 30*1;
	};
	class _xx_M60 {
		......
	};
	class _xx_PK {
		......
	};
	...
};

magazines[]

Variable string Array: default {}

see #weapons for proper description

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 measurement units are meters.

To create a circular, rectangular or other 'non square' 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 smallish 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.

marker[]

String : used as a core for all other air craft when looking on map.

marker = "\AnyAddon\AnyP3d.(p3d")";

material[]

Used in Hit... classes, eg HitTurret HitBody

Related TokenNames: #armor (float), #material, #name, #passThrough

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 {

predictTurnPlan = 1.2;	// default
predictTurnSimul = 3;	// ship
predictTurnPlan = 3;

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 inherit this class. It is not createVehicle'able, nor can the class be accessed via the Mission Editor.

private is a common method of grouping base characteristics together and inheriting all those common characteristics into a class that can be viewed or accessed.

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 = "Fruit and Onions";	// a generic group in mission editor
	displayName = "Generic Vegetable";
	namesound = whatever;
	icon = "vegetableIcon.paa";
	// put any other common characteristics in here
};
class GreenOnions : vegetables {
	scope = public;
	displayName = "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 displayName=, they are ALL 'grouped' in the Editor's "Fruit and Onions", and all of them will be referred to in the mission as "Generic Vegetable". If you follow along, you should fully expect to see another protected class called "Generic Fruit"

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
	...
};

secondaryExplosion[]

Integer: Default disabled (-1)

secondaryExplosion = -1;

sensitivity[]

Float: Default 1.0

sensitivity = 0.6;	// cars
sensitivity = 2;	// sniper

The higher the sensitivity value for an unit, the better it can see.

The effect is not linear, but logarithmic. So for an unit with value 1 vs one with value 3 it must be 1.7 times closer (square root of 3). This example does not take into account other factors like zoom, binocular use, optics, camouflage and accuracy (knowsAbout value needed to detect the type and side).

1 equals roughly to 100 meters, 2.5 to 210m, 3 to 250m.

SoundEnvironExt Class[]

class SoundEnvironExt {

This is a Class used within the man class. Some/ None, or all sections of it can (of course) be over-ridden by inheritance.

The external class CfgManActions accesses the SoundEnvironExt class defined (or inherited) for any 'man' (soldier eg).

External class CfgManActions contains many clauses

soundOverride = fallbody;	// eg

for instances of when it wants sounds for that 'action' to take place.

thus, you can define none some or all arrays (within class with your SoundEnvironExt{}) for the following

2nd parameter: Change of volume compared to the strongest sound that is audible at the camera's (player's) position. It means that the strongest sound is played on 100% and this sound is played weaker (calculated from dB value, distance, occlude, ...). If this sound is alone in sound scene then it is played on 100% every time.

sound[][]

used by animations

sound[] = {"\anyPbo\AnySound(.wss)", 10.000000, 1};

side[]

Integer: Default Value: NEUTRAL.

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 RESISTANCE 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.

float Array: Default Value {0.700000, 0.500000, 0.300000};

How threatening you are to unit types {Soft, Armor, Air}, respectively.

The ai for this model selects targets of opportunity, based on these values.

threat[] = {1, 0.0500000, 0.050000};		// soldier
threat[] = {1, 0.900000, 0.100000};			// law soldier
threat[] = {0.900000, 0.700000, 0.300000};	// bmp

timeToLive[]

Float: Default 10,000,000,000.0; // seconds?

timeToLive = 20;	// thing effects (bullets)
timeToLive = 100000002004087730000.0;	// campfire

transport...[]

transportAmmo[]

Integer: Used by supply 'vehicles' to determine total amount available for entire mission. Once depleted...

A 'vehicle' in this case can be a genuine repair truck, or, a building.

transportAmmo = 300000;			// reammo truck
transportAmmo = 10000000;		// bigship

transportFuel = 3000;			// refueltruck
transportRepair = 200000000;	// repairtruck

transportMax...[]

These parameters appear not to be used in Arma 3 and are only included for backwards compatibility. See maximumLoad to define a vehicle's storage capacity.

transportMaxMagazines = 50;		// car
transportMaxWeapons = 10;
transportMaxMagazines = 5;		// motorcycle
transportMaxWeapons = 0;
transportMaxMagazines = 50;		// tank
transportMaxWeapons = 10;
transportMaxMagazines = 20;		// air
transportMaxWeapons = 3;
transportMaxMagazines = 100;	// boat
transportMaxWeapons = 20;
transportMaxMagazines = 500;	// ship
transportMaxWeapons = 200;
transportMaxMagazines = 200;	// truck
transportMaxWeapons = 50;
transportMaxMagazines = 100;	// apc
transportMaxWeapons = 20;
transportMaxMagazines = 200;	// helicopter
transportMaxWeapons = 50;
transportMaxWeapons = 500;		// ammo boxes
transportMaxMagazines = 2000;

Values vary depending on exact type 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 gunner (if any) or commander(if any). See the JeepMg below for a 3 person vehicle which can only transport ONE soldier.

transportSoldier = 3;		// jeep/car
transportSoldier = 50;		// large ship
transportSoldier = 6to10;	// SmallShip 
transportSoldier = 3;		// a10
transportSoldier = 8to12;	// helicopters
transportSoldier = 2or3;	// ambulance
transportSoldier = 8;		// apc/bmp
transportSoldier = 12;		// truck
transportSoldier = 1;		// jeepmg
transportSoldier = 1or2;	// repair type truck

to make the game 'interesting', similar vehicles on different sides, can carry non equivalent numbers.

transportVehiclesCount[]

Integer : default 0

transportVehiclesCount = 15; // a Carrier (big ship)

TransportMagazines Class[]

transportVehiclesMass[]

Integer: Default 0

transportVehiclesMass = 0;	// not used by any model

TransportWeapons Class[]

turretAxis[]

turretAxis = OsaVeze;

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

Related TokenNames: type, #cost, #threat

type (animation)[]

old Unknown: Default Value: rotation

This appears in the ReloadAnimations class

type = rotation;

typicalCargo[]

Variable String Array:Preloads vehicle with units (if auto)

This array can have zero or more strings.

typicalCargo[] = {"Soldier", "Soldier", "SoldierLAW", "SoldierLAW"};

Note that these are ClassNames of soldiers.

U[]

...UsesPilotView[]

Bool: : Default false

gunnerUsesPilotView = false;	// some choppers (mi17)
commanderUsesPilotView = true;

uavHacker[]

Bool
Allows unit to hack UAVs. Used on UAV operators in vanilla (Arma 3)

uavHacker = 1;

unitInfoType[]

unitInfoType = "UnitInfoSoldier";

Certain 'vehicles' hide this information.

see #hideUnitInfo

unloadInCombat[]

bool: default true

unloadInCombat = false;

All true vehicles will cause ai to disembark when in combat.

upDownL/R[]

wheels class see #rotL/R

V[]

vehicleClass[]

String: Default Value= "Objects"

Used for Mission Editor basic category selection

vehicleClass = "Air";
vehicleClass = "Support";
vehicleClass = "My Great Addon";

Related TokenNames #scope, #accuracy, #displayName, #vehicleClass, #nameSound, #camouflage

vehicleClass[][]

String Array:

vehicleClass[] = {Men, Car, Armored, Air, Support, Camera, Objects, Ammo, Sounds, Mines};

view...Shadow[]

Boolean:

viewCargoShadow = true;
viewGunnerShadow = true;

viewGunnerInExternal[]

Boolean: default false

viewGunnerInExternal = true;	// for some turrets and M113

W[]

...WaterEffect[]

Defines the effect that will be spawned at the position of the LandContact points when vehicle is in/on the water.

leftWaterEffect = "vbs2_fx_lowWaterEffects";
rightWaterEffect = "vbs2_fx_lowWaterEffects";

see #...DustEffect

weapon[]

weapon = "M197";

Selects a weapon from the CfgWeapons class

weapons[]

Variable String Array: default {};

Weaopns and Magazines contain individual description of what a 'vehicle' IS carrying.

weapons[] = {"FFARLauncher", "TwinM134"};	// an aircraft
weapons[] = {CarHorn};	// truck

weapons[] = {M21, LAWLauncher, Throw, Put};	// soldier
magazines[] = {M21, M21, M21, M21, HandGrenade, HandGrenade, LAWLauncher};

The amount of weapons (and magazines) that can be carried by the 'man' is determined by #weaponSlots

The names M21, Carhorn etc are external references to the cfgWeapons / cfgMagazines classes
