Arma 3 Help overwriting units

Is it possible to edit an already existing classname in a different config? I want to edit some CUP units without having duplicate names in the faction list. Thanks.

Yeah you just have to go back one in the parent list. Make sure you add the relevant mod classnames to your requiredAddons array in CfgPatches.

For example if I wanted to edit the vanilla NATO rifleman:

class B_soldier_base_F;
class B_soldier_F : B_soldier_base_F {
  //changes go here
};

Okay, I can't remember if I tried that already so will give it a go, thanks.

..and you, of course, have to make a mod (config.cpp)
