Spawning rocket launcher projectile in Entity

Post by JK-47 »

I changed the RL rocket to have a certain lighting effect I need for a part of my mod, however, I'm not exactly sure how to spawn it into my map using Entity's BSP viewer, as I haven't used it very much yet.
How would I go about doing this?

Duplicate an itmc, change it to spawn a rocket, turn the rocket speed to 0, place it in the BSP viewer. And null the sounds, or it will be loud and annoying. If you need more detail, let me know.

Alright, I duplicated the plasma rifle in the itmc, changed it to spawn the rocket, (I had already had the speed to 0), but now I'm not quite sure how to place it in the BSP viewer.. Do I use an existing plasma rifle? Or is there some way to spawn a new one?

IIRC (I haven't modded in over a year :? ), you have to clone an itmc chunk or something in the scenario tag, and change the dependency to your cloned itmc. I'll make sure that's right/get pics later if I can.

Don't worry about it :) I got it figured out :D

My only problem now is that sometimes the game freezes :\

Try setting the respawn settings in the itmc. I think that's what causes the freezing.

Should I just set it to not respawn?

Just making sure, is this what I edit?

If so, what should I set it to? Because the default is 0.

...I'm not sure. Try setting it to 9999, and see if it freezes when it normally does. I don't know if there is a way to disable respawn.

Hmm.. Didn't work. I'll just retry with a fresh map.
