Is there a reason you have "/" in front of the whole muzzleFlashrotation in the model.cfg? The engine won't read those lines of code. Also doublecheck your LODs are using the zasleh and not muzzleFlash.

[bwph4273 11]

yes I put the "/" in front of it when I was trouble shooting it . with them out the rotation works fine. if I remove the selectionfireanimation and let the proxy just show it rotates and shows fine but doesn't go away its shown all the time but if I leave that in the config it goes away. and yes the zasleh is all correct and I have even tried it as muzzleflash but still doesn't work.

[warlord554 2065]

How about taking away "zasleh", "maingun". Don't think the zasleh needs to be a bone

[bwph4273 11]

I have done that . it didn't work .

EDIT. got it working thanks to alexboy
