  I'm no addon maker. Actually, I've never really made a real addon. I've just depbo'd some addons, and read a little on the subject. What I want to do should be fairly simple, but I can't seem to get the cpp right. All I want to do is make a copy of the laser designator weapon, but change its name to "Video Camera", and its ammo name to "Camera Battery". Then I want to make a civillian2 on the resist side named "Media Crew", equipped with the camera and its ammo. I don't want the crew to have a primary weapon slot, or any extra ammo slots other than the 6 required for the camera battery. Bino slots are fine. I know this should be easy, but I can't get it to work. If someone would look at my cpp and tell me what I'm doing wrong, I would be much obliged!
  Below is my cpp file. Thanks for the help! ;)
