## 1. Config Values

### 1.1 Preparing a vehicle for ACE3 cargo

```cpp
class CfgVehicles {
    class yourVehicleBaseClass {
        ace_cargo_space = 4;  // Cargo space your vehicle has
        ace_cargo_hasCargo = 1;  // Enables cargo to be loaded inside the vehicle (1-yes, 0-no)
    };
};
```

### 1.2 Making an object loadable

```cpp
class staticBananaLauncher {
    class yourVehicleBaseClass {
        ace_cargo_size = 4;  // Cargo space the object takes
        ace_cargo_canLoad = 1;  // Enables the object to be loaded (1-yes, 0-no)
    };
};
```

<div class="panel callout">
    <h5>Note:</h5>
    <p>ace_cargo_hasCargo and ace_cargo_canLoad are only needed if you aren't inheriting from any of BI base classes or if you are trying to disable loading for a specific vehicle / object.</p>
</div>
