Shooting out a Soccer Ball

I imported the soccer ball from the new mombasa map using Insolence. I want the magnum to shot one out each time it fires. The problem is that when you pull the trigger with the magnum in hand the game freezes. I swapped the proj with the soccer ball hlmt because thats were i found the soccer ball on the new mombasa map. This seems to happen when ever i switch proj(s) with anything other that other proj(s). Any ideas as to what i am doing wrong?

right, what you need to do is, go into your map using ADI, go to the weap tag and click on the magnum, click the little gear in the corner and then the right hand window should change, then click the Dependancy button, scrol through there and you should find the proj, change that to bloc and then find the soccerball, i think thats right, but i cant check it becasue my xbox is dead and i have no maps

But i think thats right

if u draged over the hlmt ull have 2 drag over the bloc(asuming thats wat it is havent checked) then switch it with the proj if there isnt a bloc or anything else then try duplicating something and giving it the ball hlmt then change the proj to the duplicated item

Right. The hlmt is just the appearance. It would still be a magnum bullet, but you would just see a giant soccerball... well it would if it didn't freeze the game. Could that be because it's intersecting the ground when it's fired?
Now if you changed it's shader or effe or something to be a big glowy ball... that might be cool. Like something out of a japanese cartoon or something where they launch a huge freakin' energy ball.

Kinda like DBZ. I brought in the bloc and have tried switching it with the proj and switching the hlmt with different things and switching that object, but the only thing i have managed to do is make the warthog tires (after they have been blown off) into soccer balls. lmoa. That was fun. I will just have to keep tring.

Ok, so this is a kind of way out there, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Assuming you could make the soccerball into a giant energy ball or something (sorry if I'm hi-jacking a bit here... it'll only take a minute) would it be possible to have it continuously damage you while you're in contact with it? Like, you could go through it or in and out of it and take damage (probably die completely if you went through the entire radius) without the proj exploding or anything.
