Proxy in weapons p3d not working

[Double Doppler 10]

I decided to include my own custom muzzleflash fx in my weapon, I created a proxy using the "Create" menu, browsed for my p3d file included in the project folder in the P drive (which gets turned into a pbo of the same name on binpbo pack), and clicked "OK". Is it really as simple as that?

Proxy doesn't show up in viewer or game.

the proxy (the triangle) has to be named also. Otherwise it wont flash. Give it the correct name for a muzzle flash

"zasleh" I think

I added the proxy triangle to the selection "zasleh". But this shouldn't be to do with it not appearing in the buldozer, as it should display all objects regardless of their inclusion in selections. The proxy path works, because I extracted the proxy and saw my model in its place.

For some reason the proxy works fine when I reference it to one of the BIS muzzleflashes in the CA folder/pbo.

depending on your .cpp inheritance you may need to add

selectionFireAnim = "zasleh";

also do you have the Zasleh defined in Model.cfg

sections[]=

{

"zasleh"

};

Not sure if zasleh is hidden or showing by default in the bulldozer viewer been such a while , cant remember if it showed there , obviously in game its configured to be hidden until fired .

You are right, it should show in Buldozer

Your own muzzle-flash model?

If so, must be a problem with your model I'd suggest

I am still having trouble with this. The selection naming is OK, it is nothing to do with the firing animation or not. I cant see it in buldozer and that is nothing to do with the firing animation - the buldozer displays the firing animation and lights on vehicles by default regardless if they are defined in the config or not as it doesnt know animations defined in the config.

Do you define proxies? Or is there something I am overlooking? Because I am creating a new type of proxy - as I said for my own muzzle flash model. If there is a problem in the model could you go into more detail please? I am kinda left in the dark here.

EDIT: Seemed to have found the answer. For some reason the property "autocenter" was defined and set to 0. I removed this property and now it appears ingame. Thanks for your help though.
