well, is this right? Cause it seems this seems to be causeing tech diff...but i dunno it may also be something else:

ConditionState = FIRING_A
WeaponFireFXBone = SECONDARY WeaponA
WeaponLaunchBone = SECONDARY WeaponA
WeaponHideShowBone = SECONDARY Missile
End

[CodeCat]

It might be because you put it in the FIRING_A condition state. Stick it in DefaultConditionState and see if it still gives you errors.

[SmokeyDaBear]

OK...thanx man...

Ok, im still having porblems...so i will paste the new, modified code...and i will paste in portions to make easier to read...

Can you find any problems that would cause me to get a uncaught error in the initialization of the game?

[SmokeyDaBear]

Well, it fires the missiles, only problem is, the ones attached to the model dont disappear after he launches em...so basically, it just spawns missiles over missiles without any dissappearing...how do i make the missiles on the model disappear when the plane launches them? Here is the code i have for the model and everything...

Why are you trying to launch the missiles from one bone and have a seperate bone do the hiding afterwards?

[SmokeyDaBear]

no..what im trying to do is have one missile fire, and doing this means i have to spawn one in its place, well i want the original missile attached to the plane to disappear right as the plane launches the spawned missile so it looks like the plane is launching the missile attached to itself... i havent done this before, so i'm no quite sure how to do it

now this is what i have:


There are 6 missiles attached to the su37, and their names are MISSILE, MISSILE01 -MISSILE05. Then i have 6 bones inside each missile and they are: WeaponA01-WeaponA06.

[NukeWinter]

easy fix, i think. set the pivots of missile01-06 to the locations of weapona01-06, delete those, and tell the missiles to launch from missile01-06. (rename your missile bones to be 01-06)

You dont need to do that. You can have the missile objects themselves as the launch bones and the hide bones. If you make a clone of the missile object as the projectile model (so the pivot is in the exact same place on the object), then the missiles attached to the wings will create and fire a projectile missile on their exact spot and hide themselves at the same time.

EDIT= oops, didn't read NukeWinter's post, he said pretty much the same thing :P

[SmokeyDaBear]

ok so what i should do is have 6 missiles, and 0 WeaponA's. And for the launched missile, I should have the missile in the exact same spot as the one on the model. And the launch bone, instead of being WeaponA, it will be Missile01-06...?


please excuse me if i seem a lil dumb...i been dumbfounded all week...
