Post Bit of help please?
People have been telling me that I have to 'Create' the effects like if i wanted to make a new thing instead of using the same old FireBall01000.bmp sprite I wanted to make a new one called Water01000.bmp how would I make that Water01000.bmp an actual thing like the fire. Heres what I put in:

Code:
AddEmission = Emission
      EmittedParticle = MOSParticle
         CopyOf = Water
      BurstSize = 4
      StopTimeMS = 200
      Spread = 3.14
      MaxVelocity = 2
      MinVelocity = 1
      PushesEmitter = 0


Instead of:

Code:
   AddEmission = Emission
      EmittedParticle = MOSParticle
         CopyOf = Fire Puff Medium
      BurstSize = 4
      StopTimeMS = 200
      Spread = 3.14
      MaxVelocity = 2
      MinVelocity = 1
      PushesEmitter = 0


And it says this when I start it up:

Abortion in file /Users/admin/Development/CortexCommand/cortex/System/System/Reader.cpp, line 543, because:

Referring to an instance ('Water') to copy from that hasn't been defined! in A&CMods.rte/Weapons/Shark_Launcher/Shark_Launcher.rte/Shark_Lancher.ini at line 71!

The last frame has been dumped to 'abortscreen.bmp'

Thanks.

You're trying to copy a particle named "Water" when it doesn't exist. You want to go find "Fire Puff Medium" in the base.rte data and copy it's code, if it isn't a derivative itself, and modify that.

But it didn't work could someone please help me with that? Heres the full code.

Also this part of the code:

Code:
         PresetName = Round Turret
         ParticleCount = 2
         Particle = MOPixel
            CopyOf = Particle Turret


The Particle Turret part doesn't work.

Thanks

No that didn't work it said this

Abortion in file /Users/admin/Development/CortexCommand/cortex/System/Reader.cpp, line 543, because:

Referring to an instance ('Particle Light Turret') to copy from that hasn't been defined! In A&CMods.rte/Weapons/RocketTurret/RocketTurret.ini at line 193!

The last frame has been dumped to 'abortscreen.bmp'

Btw have any help on the first part of it?

Hey I got another problem I can't get this actor to have an antenae I copy the attachable thats the head then I put it higher and put in the file path but it still doesn't work. Any help would be much appreciated.


ALSO if you would like you can have my Old Western mini mod...

It has a Revolver, EPIC SHOTGUN, and a Muff Pistol.

If you don't know what a Muff Pistol is... Its a Pistol that ladies in the Old West carried around, some shot .50 cal. bullets.

Oh right heres the actor.
