Optic view muzzle flash problems

[earl 0]

I've got the faces aligned properly - exactly the same as the BIS M16, but for some reason, the muzzle flash appears in front of the iron sight image (in the 'optics view').

I've tried moving it on either side of the iron sight plane, to no avail.  The only tagging I know about is grouping the flash as "zasleh".  The whole thing is in LOD 0.000 just like the demo optic model that I'm working from.

Any ideas?

I think you need this in cfgweapons:

opticsFlare = false;

That sounded promising, but didn't seem to work.

for other type of clipping problems, cutting and repasting seemed to fix it. Try cutting and pasting the flash, then if that doesn't fix it, cut everything BUT the flash then paste. Somewhere I remember reading that the order of things shown on-screen depends on their order of being "built" in O2. Can't hurt to try. I know this has been used to fix rotor blade transparency problems.

Hmm did you say its all in 0 LOD? You don't have a pilot view?

Thanks Ebud, you're the king. That strange and simple method worked like a charm. I just cut and pasted my iron sight model and that was it.

Thanks to chaz & bratz for helping out too. I don't have a pilot view because this isn't the rifle model, just the scope optic model.

Just remember me when you start beta testing

Glad I could help. God knows how anyone figured that out.
