Alternative vehicle smoke launcher -problem

[boc 20]

Hi,

 

I am new to configs and have been playing around in order to develop my understanding. After succeeding with some basic re texturing and creation of alternative versions of objects I wondered if it was possible to change the vehicle smoke launcher in order to throw other objects. I think i could broadly replicate the effect through scripting but wondered if it was possible through the smoke launcher weapon functionality.

 

I created an alternative hatchback which allows a smoke launch to be made. I then sought to change the model of the ammo to a hand grenade rather than the smoke grenade (obviously whilst retaining the smoke effect since I hadn't changed anything else). So far I haven't been able to change this model for anything else. 

 

Could anyone give me a suggestion of what I have done wrong with this intermediate step please, or even how i might go about the full replacement of effects (which I had assumed i would copy some of the effects from the grenade config - but hadn't got that far to check)?  Is this even possible?

 

 

Thanks in advance!
