I got my muzzle Flash (the Flame) Set up correctly in Gmax as far as I know, but when I get it ingame the flame is always there for no reason.. any Ideas on how to fix it? :tard:

Seems that you haven't declared the object in the INI as a Muzzle Flash, so Generals don't find him to make it transparent between shots.

add it in the FactionUnit.ini, the name in RenX must be the same than in the INI

for example :

DefaultConditionState
.....
WeaponMuzzleFlash = PRIMARY MuzzleFX
WeaponMuzzleFlash = SECONDARY NONE
.....
End

See the Titan tutorial by Proclone, easy to understand, covering most of the things you should know.

How come I'm still crap at modelling and can't make myself a thing that looks like a vehicle after a week of practicing with it?

[Romlel]

Ok, ok, you're right

I was just saying that it covers the main things you should know when you already know gmax.

Yup that's right, though I'm finally getting the hang of GMax *hurray* thanks Proclone for the tutorial!

If Im using the standard code for the humvee just to test it the code will look like this:
ConditionState = NONE
Model = AVHUMMER
Turret = Turret
ShowSubObject = Turret
HideSubObject = TurretUp01 Housecolor03 MuzzleFXUP01
WeaponFireFXBone = PRIMARY Muzzle
WeaponMuzzleFlash = PRIMARY MuzzleFX

End

What do I name the (flame) Muzzle effect?
Muzzle? or MuzzleFX? or PRIMARY Muzzle or PRIMARY MuzzleFX...
I think I've tried them all hey...

Wayne I think you might have stumbled onto a similar issue as Blitz 2 's Maus.. it has some odd issue with it's muzzle flash similar to what you've described.

If you'd be so kind as to tell me the EXACT name of the material you're using for teh muzzle flash and the exact naming of the Muzzle Flash boneobject.. We might be able to pin down what the cause is.. I think I know what it is but I'm not sure and since I've only seen it happen on one model so far cross referencing with yours would be helpful

[Wayne]

muzzflsh_side.dds Thats the name of the material Im using...
And the object name is:MUZZLEFX01

If you do find out what the problem is i'd be grateful if you passed it onto me Its got me stuffed...

how the hell do you make the muzzle flash semi-transparent???
