Grenade Problem

Here's a new problem for you. In my custom side, I gave a trooper a custom plasma grenade, with custom trail and explosion effects. The level munges and loads fine, no complaints. I can switch to the grenade (it's a primary weapon), but as soon as I throw it, the game crashes. BFront.log says nothing.

I do know that the problem is not the model, because before I added HUDtag = "hud" in the .odf, I could see the model in the screen. I am also fairly certain that the problem lies in the ordnance .odf, because the game crashes when it would be called. I tried commenting out the line for the trail effect, and it still crashed.

Here are the .odf's of the weapon, ordnance, and explosion:

I can't see any errors, spelling or otherwise. Perhaps you can?

Are these in the Common sides folder?

make sure you have all the right spelling.

The custom effects are in my side's effects folder, but the unchanged effects are all in the common folder.

reason why it is crashing is because it has no ordanance refrence in the main

cov_weap_inf_plasma_grenade.odf

add this line to the odf:

OrdnanceName = "cov_weap_inf_plasma_grenade_ord"
