I made a turret for my new space map which fires a guided missile. The only problem is that it won't fire sometimes. I hear the firing sound but no missile comes out. Sometimes it works though...
Any ideas why could this happen?

I've never tried dispensing guided missiles from a turret before, so I'm not sure if there's some fundamental problem with that, but since you say it fires some of the time I guess there isn't. I know that if your map is effect-heavy sometimes effects on ordance or vehicles don't show up - could it be that the missile fires, but you don't see the effect and miss the mesh shooting out?

No, it is guided, like you can control and fly it. It is really weird and I have no clue why this could happen.
