I tried to put Caleb and Syth's underhanded chaingun model and animation in my map. I downloaded the files, put the gunner anim, zaabin, and zafbin files in my side's munged directory, and added AnimationName = "gunner" to my unit's odf. Yet in-game, the unit holds the chaingun out in front of him, the same animations as the default chaingun.

The only Severity: 3 error I got was: And here's my unit's odf, if you want it: Thanks for any help.

You need to go into the new chaingun ODF from the assets and click Save. The munge thinks its the default one if it hasn't been saved since last munge.

Post your lua.

Actually, he wouldn't need to for that. We only really need to see the VO section of it, which is where the problem lay. One of the VO's isn't set as it should be.

Anyway, AnimationName is only used for doors, according to the odf parameters doc. (Not sure where else it would be applicable, at least, if it's useable elsewhere.) Certain parameters only work with certain classlabels, basically. Try: That would be relevant to a weapon.

My guess is that he just put a wrong team into one of the Sound lines in the lua.

I suppose, if the team doesn't exist to the lua, like if it were a typo. I was just saying there's no need for the whole lua to be posted. It'd cut the clutter to just show the part where the problem exists.

Sorry, the synapses decided to fire more than one or twice this morning.

Eh, everything is okay with your post I just wanted to tell my guess. xD
But yeah, you're right...no need to post the whole lua.

Alright, hadn't checked this in a few hours. Culvar's solution didn't work, so I'll try using Bank instead of Name.

Edit: Bank changed nothing.

it works fine for me, you just need to add the lines to the weapons ODF:

AnimationBank = "rifle"

The default animation is the bazooka, which is what needs to be changed, so the animation bank needs to be changed to "rifle", not "gunner"

EDIT2: the gunner animation bank is non-existent, as far as i know, so problem solved, i think
