Missile won't fly of rail.

[Kuzuri 11]

Hello all, so I've got a ported Cobra with a hellfire missile on its rails, i fire the missile and it fires just fine. Problem is the proxy doesn t disappear, it stays on the rail, and i cant for the life of me figure out how to make it disappear. Any ideas? I'm pretty sure its a config issue... or a model.cfg one. Id be happy to post either once somebody gives me a solid idea. thanks

ported from? Arma 2? Arma OA? OFP? Combat Ops? What?

Because the method has changed since the different releases.

Arma 2

Definitely a config issue, different ammunition systems from Arma 2 to Arma 3. 

Bump.

Its mostly model.cfg you must change: for my IFV with 2 missiles I use
 

Spoiler

class hideMissile_1
            {
                type="hide";
                source="Missiles_revolving";
                selection="missile_1";
                sourceAddress = mirror;
                minValue = -1.0;//rad -57.29578
                maxValue = 0.0;//rad 0.0
                hideValue = 0.001;
                animPeriod = 0.0;
                initPhase = 0.0;
            };
class hideMissile_2: hideMissile_1
            {
                selection="missile_2";
                sourceAddress = mirror;
                hideValue = 0.501;
            };

Then in your config you must add an animationssource:
 

Spoiler

class AnimationSources: AnimationSources
        {
            class Missiles_revolving
            {
                source = "revolving";
                weapon = "OPTRE_missiles_C2GMLS_2"; //Name of the weapon you fire
            };
        };

Missile must be configured as a class in in cfgNonAIVehicles with simulation maverickWeapon

class CfgNonAIVehicles
{
	class ProxyWeapon;
	class Proxy##NAME##: proxyWeapon
	{
		model = "\path\to\##NAME##.p3d";
		simulation = maverickweapon;
	};
};

Classname has to be the file name of the .p3d, prefixed with the word "proxy"

Done but still not working, only problem i can see is the "selection="missile_2""" and "selection="missile_1""" part in cfgModels. My missiles are mounted as proxies, maybe that's why they dont work??

[Whitefame 16]

both selection="missile_2""" and "selection="missile_1"""  are proxies

[Kuzuri 11]

Well then I can't think of a reason why it doesnt work, the above solution didnt.

can you send your config and model.cfg so I can see how you set it up?
