Muzzleflash in shadow!

[Gummi 0]

When I try my gun ingame everything works good, but the shadow is messed up, the muzzleflash always shows up on it. How can i fix that?

the LodNoShadow property is in LOD 0.35 0.7 and view pilot.

thx

Select the muzzle flash faces and go to Face Properties in O2, make sure the "no shadow" box is totally unchecked (it may be black or greyed, so just keep clicking until it's empty).

Do this for all the lods...

*grumbles to self about missing a lod in the BAS M240*...

It's config.cpp mistake you have to define CfgModel inside it.

PicVert, I don't think that's the problem or he would have complained about the muzzle flash being visible on the gun itself.

I think your cfgModels section is correct. I've never messed with the special face properties other than setting damage material values, so sorry I can't confirm a correct answer.

I assume your right, it's inside the model...

You have put your flash inside le Lod of your shadow ...

It's a limitation of OFP you can't have shadow for muzzle flash.

look in original M16 you don't have shadow for flash.

if you have all : flash and shadow viewed in game do that : for shdow see in top of post and for the flash it's in cfgModel

you have to make cfgModel like that :

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

class CfgModels

{

class Default{};

class Weapon: Default{};

class Your_model0 : Weapon{};

class Your_model1 : Weapon{};

class Your_model2 : Weapon{};

class Your_model3 : Weapon{};

};

<span id='postcolor'>

Your_model0 is the name of you p3d file for your weapon, then 1 and 2 and 3 is for your other one (if you have).

the flash is always on. here is a part of config:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

class CfgPatches

{

class Gummis_GMI_odes_hmw

{

units[] = {GMI_odes_hmw};

weapons[] = {Browning_hmwo};

requiredVersion = 1.75;

};

};

class CfgModels

{

class default {};

class Weapon: Default{};

class Browning_hmwo : Weapon{};

class Vehicle: default {};

class Car: Vehicle {};

class HMMWV: Car {};

class JeepMG: HMMWV {};

class GMI_odes_hmw: JeepMG {};

};

class CfgWeapons

{

class Default{}

class MGun: Default{};

class MachineGun7_6: MGun{};

class MachineGun12_7: MachineGun7_6{};

class Browning_hmwo: MachineGun12_7

{

ammo="Bullet12_7";

sound[]={"Weapons\M60mgun",3.162278,1};

count=750;

opticsZoomMin=0.3000;

it's your model or original one ? with scrpting for mounting MG on HHMW ?

the name of class XXXX: weapon{}; in cfg model must is the same of your XXX.p3d inside of your XXX.pbo

this is the original cfgvehicles for MGjeep :
