Changing out proj doesn't work. Even after clearing cache

Post by KClaisse »

OK So my plan was to make the turret on the scorpion fire slower and fire plasma grenades out of it. I got the slower part of it but the plasma grenades just won't come out.
What I did was swap the dependecies from the tank bullet to a modified plasma grenade (one that has initial and final volocity). I then cleared my cache but it didn't work. Is this because the tank is stored in like shared or mainmenu or something?

k if i understand correctly you went to the cannon_mp.weap (it has to be cannon_mp.weap not cannon.weap, thats for sp) and swappwed the proj to your modded plasma grenade. if thats so and it didnt work, try using the original plasma grenade. If it shows up then there may be something wrong with that duped plasma grenade. thats my only idea

Actually I used the turret_mp.weap to switch the proj. Should I be looking in the cannon_mp?

sorry my mistake i was thinking turret but i guess it was a typo on my part. Yes you basically did what i suggested. Did you try the proj swap with the default turret turret_mp.weap?

sorry if i got ya confused for the typo lol

but ya try using the default turret_mp.weap and see if that does anything.

Figured out the problem. Entity doesn't save meta at all. I changed it to my plasma grenade but after rechecking before I ftp'ed it back it was null. Insolence did it properly though. I changed both the turret and the turret_mp weaps proj to my plasma grenade.
