Vehicle weapon animation

[odyseus 19]

Hello guys,

After a day trying to get this a animation working for a machine gun on a tank. I come to you for help. My problem is simple i am using the model.cfg below some of the animation I had script is working on bulldoser but in game i can not see the ammo belt and animation. Any ideas

#define BULLET_HIDE(x,from,count) class Bullet##x\
		{\
			type="hide";\
			source="revolving";\
			sourceAddress="mirror";\
			selection=bullet##x;\
			minValue=-1.000000;\
			maxValue= 0.000000;\
			hideValue=((count+x-from-2)/count)+0.00001;\
		};

Do you have correct selection names in your lods, and proper memory points

Do you have correct selection names in your lods, and proper memory points

Yes, i belive i do Warloard. I will take a look at it again tonite. Like i said before, the animation work fine in the bulldoser but in game is where the problem is. I guess my problems is that i some how do not know how to let the engine know that animation X belong to the weapons X when it fires. Can someone walk me throught this logic?

Another guesiton, do i need to place something on the config.cpp?

Thank you

[warlord554 2065]

You can do lots of animations in bulldozer that aren't possible ingame yet. However have you looked at the A3 sample tank?

Thank you WarLord just did and it works, Thank you my friend! ;)
