Hello,

thank you for the feedback.

Is it possible that the config might be incorrect?

Following the documentation here
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Event_Handlers#Event_Handlers_in_Config.cpp
I would expect it to look like this.

class UK_MBT_01: armored //dunno here, 
     {
          //...
          //(other config code)
          //...

          class EventHandlers
          {
               turnout = "hint 'EH be working fam'";
          };
     };

Unfortunately my knowledge of the config is not so great so I will check that out with other devs, but I think you might give this a shot?

I will get back to you once I have some more info.

Thank you :)

Hi razazel, thank you for your time. I installed the dev branch and it works on there perfectly, strangely enough. I discussed it with some other modders in the arma 3 discord and they also said it didn't work for them on main, but did on dev so I suppose someone already fixed what was wrong and it will work next patch.

Thanks!
