Added quad 50'ds for an optional loadout. (Copied the pilots gun....) The Blister guns and tail gun shoots out the new gun instead of their positions... What do you have to do to assign a gun to the pilot???------------------

Huh ? Check the gunlist of the crew position. If this is not the reason, could you explain it a bit better ?!LK IP: Logged |

OK, had all standard guns working correctly, with correct ammo (Twin 50 in the nose, 50's in the waist blisters and a 50 in the tail...) (PBY-6A) One of the field mods was a quad 50 on the nose fired by the pilot (raked heck out of barge traffic...). I wanted to include this. I copied the gun already associated with the pilot 3 more times and positioned it. Changed the loadout to include the new gun positions Pilots was 1, addons were 2,3,4 Blisters are 5,6 and tail is 7. Not counting the twin 50 turret, only the forward facing guns fire (and then only one, depending upon what station you have moved to..., even though every gun in the loadout has ammo. The pilot position only shows gun 1, not 1-4 as expected....The waist blister and tail guns never fire at all anymore... Arrrrgggghhhh

You didn't mention adding the guns to the pilots gunList. This would explain why the extra three guns won't fire. Don't know about the rest...IP: Logged |

There is basically four things to do: 1) Add the gun parts themselves
2) Add the gun names to the pilots (or gunners) gunList property list. Should look something like gunList 'gun1 'gun2 ...
3) Add the new guns to a loadout
4) Make sure the loadout has ammo. This should do the trick. If you use the convergence function in OPS it reads the gunList property of the selected part, and will display the guns it finds. You need to find the right gun owner for this to work, probably something called 'pilot' or 'pilotview'. [This message has been edited by Bryan Russell (edited 07-04-2000).] IP: Logged |

Sounds exactly like what I did except for convergence.. Back to the drawing board...... Just once a couldn't learning experience could be fun....
