Does anyone know how to get a muzzle flash working? I can't seem to figure out Westwood's method for implementing this. I've tried boning a muzzleflash01 to the muzzleA0 bone, but it doesn't flash. Also, it seems that muzzle flashes for different vehicles are stored in separate W3Ds. If anyone has solved this puzzle, I would appreciate the information. Thanks.

Okay, say you're doing the GDI Medium Tank... The muzzle flash W3D is called mz_v_gdi_medtnk.w3d. You take the muzzle bone, hit the resize button, then hold down shift and resize it to be 50% smaller. It will make a clone of the mesh for you. Name it mz_v_gdi_medtnk and uncheck the bone export. Check off Hide and Aggregrate.

It should work, then. Make sure it's linked to the muzzle bone, and it'll be all set for you.

Works like a charm, thanks again Aircraftkiller. I would never have figured that out.

Thanks for that post Ack. I love when someone asks a difficult question and someone posts a very concise solution. That post should be added to a FAQ.

Yeah i'll add it to the FAQ by me and Stonerook. Also I will add the other post about the MRLS turrets and applying multiple UWV maps with different scales. Also I will probably add some of the scripts things I have posted into it as they are quite useful, although they may go in the "technology" page i'm working on. Look for the updates soon http://generalhavoc.port5.com/tutorials/faq.htm
