Need help creating a trigger to NOT delete an Opportunity if a field is checked on the OPP

First off, I am very new to development and or SFDC dev, so please excuse my ignorance.  I need some help creating a trigger that will NOT allow a user to delete an opportunity if one field Andover_VIP__c (which is a checkbox) is checked.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance..   I thought it would be an easy validation rule, but from research the validation rule can't be used for this.

 

Thanks again.

trigger OppTrigger on Opportunity (before delete) {
    for(Opportunity opp : trigger.Old){
        if(opp.Andover_VIP__c == true){
            opp.addError('Your Custom Error Message Here');
        }
    }
}

 This trigger should do the work

Moved into production.. Again thanks for your help, I just needed something to get started, I am assuming I will be dangerous now LOL.. (not really since I have to support all of SFDC now).

Hmm I have tried this trigger exactly like you wrote, and a few different ways to write it.. All ways work in Sandbox but when I try to deploy it the validation keeps failing says 0%, at least 1% test coverage is required any idea?  Thanks again!
