Ammo Doesn't Exist Ingame

[imemyself]

OK, the ammo from my config, just doesn't show up in game.  It gives me the error message like you get when you misspell the name of a magazine, when you put

Code: [Select]

this addmagazine "edcFLASHRocketHE" in someone's init field and start the mission.
I'm sure I'm not misspelling it.

Also, I get a no entry modelSpecial error when I try to start a mission w/ the M-202 guy defined in the config.
Here's my cpp:

Code: [Select]

   };   
};

BTW, I get no errors when starting OFP, and when I add the launcher to someone, there are no errors.

You need a seprate calss for your weapon and the magazine. The ammo is defined in the mags classname. Then in the weapon classname put the line:

Code: [Select]

magazines[]={"magclassname"};
The way you did it only works for vehicle mounted weapons.

I don't think I understand when you mean.  What do I do before putting the magazines[] thing in?

Have a look at the AT4 or RP7 coding in JAM for a sample on how it's done.

Oooohhhh, OK, after looking @ JAM's stuff, I get it.  Thanks for the help, guys, I never woulda figured that out on my own.  :cheers:
