HELP - Problem with anim(weapon)

[GSTAVO 169]

Hi, I need help with my custon weapon.

 

My model.cfg is like this:

	};
};

	class Default;
	class Optic: Default
	{

	};

The problem is: the magazine does not do the animation(move and hide) during de reload. Anothe problem is muzzeflashe is always "on", even when not firing.

Thx.

'bsoc_gus_ia2f' is defined twice. Once directly above 'bsoc_IA2Base' and once at the very end of the file. That is probably not helping.

Are all the other animations such as the trigger etc. working okay? If not, the above issue might be the route cause.

However, if they are working and its only the two issues you posted about that are at fault, try these tips:

• Check that the 'magazine_axis' is two points in the memory lod as the translation animation type requires two points to form a point of origin and a direction of travel.
• Try changing your 'muzzleFlash' named selection to 'zasleh' and add 'zasleh' to the sections part of your 'bsoc_IA2Base' class definition:

		sections[]={"zasleh","Camo"};

I've never used any named selection other than 'zasleh' for my muzzle flashes on the dozens of weapons models I've worked on, and I can't remember a single time I have ever had an issue. So screw English and go with the Czech original  :D

Thanks for help. The problem with muzzle flash is solved. :D

The animations aren't working yet.  :(

The memory LOD looks ok,, I caught from de BIS Sample and just adjust for my model. I have no idea what is wrong.

 

Again, thanks for help. I apreciate very much.

1) check your .rpt file for errors related to your weapon

2) pack your pbo with PboProject from mikero (it will show you all typing errors)

[GSTAVO 169]

Thanks for help but the problem still there, the .rpt file seens ok  :mellow:

[GSTAVO 169]

The problem is solved. Thank you all!
