Hello,
I put a flak 88 model in my map and had german soldiers manning the gun and also had them shoot at me. I followed a tutorial by rkm11 and I had no trouble at all getting this to work. BUT, my problem lies when I tried to use a different model of flak 88 then rkm11 suggested. In rkm11's tutorial he said to either use "xmodel/german_artillery_flak88" or
"xmodel/german_artillery_flak88_nm". But unfortunately those two models have there cannons not in the air. So, I added this model instead xmodel/german_artillery_flak88_aa_static (which has its cannon sticking straight in the air like I want) but when I try to run my map I get this error:



I really want xmodel/german_artillery_flak88_aa_static as my flak 88 of choice but for some reason it is not working. The other two flak 88's that were mentioned in the tutorial by rkm11 worked with no problem, but once I add the one I want i get a problem. My question is WHY?

By the way, here is the begining part of my code for my .gsc file:



#include maps\_utility;
#include maps\_anim;
#using_animtree("generic_human");

main()
{
//***************Initialize Vehicals****************\\

maps\_flak88::main("xmodel/german_artillery_flak88_aa_static");

//***************Initialize script****************\\

maps\_load::main();
maps\aitest_fx::main();
maps\aitest_anim::main();




If anyone knows what to do and can help please reply back to this post.

Thank you for your time,

You cannot use models with _static behind them for animations and so on. They are meant for 'display' and cannot do anything really.

Why can't the flak 88 shoot in the air? Can't you just target an entity that's flying?

you know what jeannotvb, I actually never thought of that. I am going to try it real fast.

Ok now I am kinda stumped....how can I make my xmodel/german_artillery_flak88_nm thats in my map fire into the sky. I can only make it fire at level plain at is it firing at me too. I want it to be firing in the sky, but how? I placed a script_origin in the sky and connected the flak88 to the cript_origin but no luck.

If anyone can help me please repost back to me.

You must not connect anything.. Use script.

Define your struct and Flak 88 in script, then use the following function:

setTurretTargetEnt( your target entity here );

The Flak 88 will aim at it.
