	At the start of Force Recon in the single player editor the mission itself will validate the template you have ~~created~~.

At the start of Force Recon in the single player editor the mission itself will validate the template you have select as the default selection. (First item in <sqf inline>LIST_OF_ENEMY_TEMPLATES_CLASS</sqf>) It will check that each value you have added actually exists in the config, that parameters have what they expect (for example pairs of classnames and probabilities) and that not any parameter was forgotten.

	If your template is fine then the mission will simply continue as normal. Should it detect an issue then it will interrupt the mission with a message letting you know what the validator has objected to. It will also tell you what and where exactly it found an error, and what it is expecting to see there to validate this class.
