I'm trying to get my
Orbital Attack Launcher to work. Basically, you can find out what you need to know from
this page. What I'm trying to do is have a grenade launcher shoot a grenade theat is a beacon, wherever this beacon lands is whaere the orbital strike occurs. the beacon shoots, lands, and nothing happens.
Here's the odf's:

My guess is this: If you're using the exact odf's that shipped, it's not going to work. Like the grappling hook, Pandemic took it out of the game because of bugs.
On a side note, I couldn't find com_weap_inf_torpedo in the common/odf section, but maybe that's me.

well, first of all the ODF says this is the ordenance
"all_weap_inf_orbital_attack_launcher_ord"
in the post you say the ORD's name is this...
"all_weap_inf_orb_attk_launcher_ord"
Thats the only problem I see, but if that was the problem the beacon shouldnt fire at all. it might be that the orbital beacon's ODF is faulty in some way.

Thats com_weap_inf_mortar_launcher I think.
Some people got the orbital attack to work, I'd start with that
the odf that comes with the game has got a screwed up ord
And Syth is right, you should change that first.

I already changed that, does
Nothing.
I'm pretty sure people got it working with the shipped odf. However, those people who
did get it to work (
Penguin,
MajinRevan) are not willing to share yet.
If the ord is incorrect, can someone tell me how to fix it? (
Zerted?
Xwingguy? anyone good with odfs?)

just get the odfs from the SWBF I modtools, they work. and then just edit them from their

I don't have the BF1 modtools. Could you give me a link?

Go to SWBFFiles, and head to the Battlefront 1 section. You're looking for the SDK. It'll have all the assets from BF1, but you can delete the modtools - unless you're actually planning on modding BF1.

so it's unsupported_swbf_mod_tools.zip, right? Download in progress....
I have a similar problem

I have a similar problem, I want the grenade to create a buff instead of an explosian, I've had no luck so far, it either locks the game up or when I throw the grenade it just creates a buff at my position (like any normal buff would)

Alright, I have the modtools. And I opened up the odf. Do I need to do anything to it?

Looks almost the same to me....

it is the same, just
LaserTexture = "yellowlaser_D"
//ImpactEffect = "med_cannon_impacts"
is different
and you should probably keep the SWBFII one then
Imma check if I can get the orb. thingy to work. (through a grenade though)
EDIT: yep, mine seems to work just fine. Imma see if I can make one with your launcher idea now.
EDIT2: crashed the first try, lets try again. Woohoo
And yet again. Final try
Oops forgot to save the changes since the last crash, *sigh* hehe still try 2 then...
No succes either.
starting last attempt
FINAL VERDICT:
I can only make the orb. thingy with a throwable grenade. Your launcher idea keeps crashing

I'll try a throwable one too, see if that works.
Edit:
Apparently I suck at this. It
STILL doesn't work, even with a throwable grenade!!!!

I got rid of the Geometryname line in the first odf (not the ord) and got rid of all of the Aim lines and IT WORKS!!! Victory is mine!
