Custom bipod is invisible?!?

[KokaKolaA3 394]

Hey, 

im currently working on the German Special Forces mod, i want to add a Riot Shield with a pistol, i saw in KICKASS KA-Weapons a very cool way to make a riot shield.

He made it as Bipod, so you can attach it or just use the pistol without the riot shield, the animation looks a bit wierd but thats fine.

The Weapon (HK-USP) works fine, but the Shield (Bipod-Slot) is invisible when attached to the gun, when i remove the shield from my inventory and put it on the ground its visible...

 

Any ideas why?

 

I used samples from KICKASS, the bipod has no model.cfg in his samples, so mine has none too, is that the problem? (He couldn't find the original files, so he send me improvised files, so the model.cfg may not be included...)

He did not respond until now, so maybe someone else could help me.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Does the pistol model have a proxy for the "bipod" (a proxy linked to '\A3\Data_F_Mark\Proxies\Weapon_Slots\UNDERBARREL' by default)? It'll kinda need it...

Well, it does not. Thanks for your help!

Well, it does not. I'll fix that thanks!

That should fix the issue. The proxy location will need adjusting to correctly place the shield. Your best bet is to proxy in the shield, correctly position the proxy triangle, and once it is in the right place change the path to proxy in the UNDERBARREL place-holder.

The bipod models are the only attachments that make use of a model.cfg BUT only if they're animated (e.g. animated leg deployment).

If the bipod model features no animation (which yours will not as its just a shield, then you DO NOT require a model.cfg.

Alright thanks for that. But now its getting weird...

I added the proxy, without placing it at 100% the right spot, so the problem is now, i cannot even add the shield as bipod anymore...?

 

Nevermind, i deleted the proxy again and it does not work as well, seems like another error.

The only thing I can think of is if the proxy-path isn't setup correctly in the model. As such it conflicts with what is set out in the config code ('\A3\Data_f_Mark\proxies\weapon_slots\UNDERBARREL'). This would probably cause you to be unable to mount bipods. Double-check the proxy path within the model.

The proxy path is correct. But i found out that i can only select the shield when the KA-Weapons mod is enabled too... But i don't understand why, i did not used anything from KA-Weapons
