I changed the Scud Launcher around abit and now when it fires the existing missile does not dissappear, also if the vehicle is at a strange angle the missle still fires from the original Z axis. Any solutions?

I think this problem is caused by the fact that the original missile is part of the Model. If you open the model in a w3d viewer the missile is also attached. I would presume you would need to give it a new model with the new missile attached and new animation.

For the second problem, check you have this in the Scud's code

 Behavior = AIUpdateInterface ModuleTag_03
    Turret
      TurretTurnRate = 60  ; turn rate, in degrees per sec
      TurretPitchRate = 60
      FirePitch = 90 ; Instead of aiming pitchwise at the target, it will aim here
      AllowsPitch = Yes
      ControlledWeaponSlots = PRIMARY SECONDARY
    End
    AutoAcquireEnemiesWhenIdle = No NotWhileAttacking
  End  

The important line there is the FirePitch Line.

I did make a new model for it, I removed the upgrades and used one of the upgraded missiles renamed as the original. I used the ZH code with the upgrades removed. There actually isn't any animation. It's all appears to be done with the TURRETEL.

AI update should be the same. Have to look closer...

(EDIT)It appears to control the dissappearing here.

ProjectileBoneFeedbackEnabledSlots = PRIMARY ; WeaponLaunchBone will be shown/hidden, not

just used for firing offset

DefaultConditionState
Model = MobileTopal
Turret = TURRET
TurretPitch = TURRETEL
WeaponLaunchBone = PRIMARY WeaponA
End

Also, dont forget the Weapon the SCUD Launcher uses, changing stuff about its 'Clip' will cause the missile to show up, and take a look if the original SCUD Launcher itself carries a missile or not (based on weapon or model)

That SCUD Launcher, that's scrap upgrade level 2. I've made that before in my mod, it works well and nothing wrong, even when I change the clip count into 2.

I solved it, thanks...
