here is the evilfactionarrow

Oh I hadn't realized its a problem with all of the weapons..

So you (as far as i can see) spawn the same units in both towers...

Weapons seem to be the same...

Were you modding SEE or adding stuff from SEE into your own mod? (The old SEE code is really sloppy, and quite overly hacky at times...)

[grunshac]

i mod SEE

[Ridder Geel]

Ok well, just to try i suppose, try commenting the one draw module that is not yet commented in the evilfactionarrow

[grunshac]

What do you mean what should i do ?

[Ridder Geel]

put ; in front of these lines in that object:

Draw = W3DStreakDraw ModuleTag_Draw2
Length        = 15
Width        = 2
NumSegments    = 1                ; number of segements in the streak, increase for smoother line
Color = R:128 G:64 B:64
Additive    = No                    ; Yes by default
Texture        = EXArrowStreak.tga
    WeatherTexture = SNOWY EXArrowStreak_Snow.tga
End

[grunshac]

the problem persists and the arrows are invisible

[-SilverBane-]

From my experience, copy-paste code almost never works as desired.... my suggestion is to try to understand the code piece by piece, and add parts of it and test often, then you will find the problem....

[Ridder Geel]

Nah see there is the problem with this whole thing, as far as i know he is working from SEE.

But indeed, maybe just try to make this thing without copying the stuff from SEE, make a new unit, give it a new weapon, and see if that solves it

[grunshac]

i made a new unit for dwarven tower whitch uses the vanilla weapon from the tower and the problem still persists for all towers (except mordor tower) and all fortresses

[Ridder Geel]

The vanilla weapon? So you actually took the weapon code and the projectile from the original BFME 2 game? (Not SEE)

[grunshac]

no, vanillla see mod not vanilla bfme2 sry for confusion

[Ridder Geel]

Well then, try to do it with stuff from the original game, that way you minimize any possible effect that the SEE files might have on the result

Otherwise maybe contact Nazgul personally and see if he might know what is the cause of it (He knows his mod from before the 'reformation' better than I)

[grunshac]

How can i contact Nazgul ?

[Ridder Geel]

I'd say PM him here on revora

[grunshac]

i will try thnks

[grunshac]

He said he dont have time cuz he is working on another mod :(

[Ridder Geel]

Well then you need to try to fix it yourself eh...

So as i suggested, try making it with files from the original game, and see if you can get it to work correctly then
