Hello, I have been wondering, if I make a msh, can I use it as a rocket?
What I want to do, is make a msh, and use it like a rocket, that moves and exploads like a rocket in-game. Will that work? Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes, just look into the rocket launcher odf and change the launched msh to yours.

Okay, thanks! I'll try that!
EDIT: Do I need an ODF for it? I looked up the republic rocket's msh, and it is "com_weap_missile". I looked it up, and there is no odf for it, yet there is a odf and a msh for com_weap_torpedo. It takes a really long time to munge the texture for the bomb, and the model, so I was just wondering.

in order to use the custom model you have to make a customsidewith a unit that uses a custom rocketlauncher with the name of your msh as rocketgeometry.

Okay, you kinda lost me there. I have a custom rocket launcher model, and a model that I want to use for the bomb. What would I need to do, exactly to make it work?
I got the rocket launcher to use custom effects, but when I take away the rocket trail, there is no rocket. What I want to do is that when you fire,you can see the msh (my bomb) , without a rocketrail effect, but I want it to expload. Am I making any sense?

to make your model the rocket, add the line under properties in your rocket_ord odf:
ito get rid of the trail, remove the traileffect line.
