everytime i get the heli to spawn i get this error in developer mode:

http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/4313/completeerror.jpg

im pretty sure that the error has to do with the heli not moving its blade at all and trying to make the dust pop up off of the floor. I have avoided putting a heli in the map because i dont know how to fix this so if you guys know how to, plz help me. thanks.

did you precache the heli fx....check my downtown zone file to see if you're missing something.

how do i precache the heli's fx? and i looked at your .csv and mines and still couldnt figure wat was the problem. this is on a map that i use for testing. heres wat i have in the zone_source:

and heres wat i have in my test maps .gsc:

#include common_scripts\utility;


main()
{

level.player setviewmodel ("viewmodel_base_viewhands");

level.weaponClipModels = [];
level.weaponClipModels[0] = "weapon_mp5_clip";
level.weaponClipModels[1] = "weapon_ak47_clip";
level.weaponClipModels[2] = "weapon_dragunov_clip";

	thread heli2();
}
heli2()
{
	level.player.ignoreme = true;
	wait 9;

iPrintlnBold("BLAH1");

dummy = getent("fake_impact","targetname");

heli2 = getent("heli2","targetname");
heli2 hide();
heli2 stopenginesound();//hate the noise in testing stages so i disabled it

iPrintlnBold("BLAH2");

heli2 setvehweapon( "hunted_crash_missile" );
heli2 setturrettargetent( level.player );
		
iPrintlnBold("BLAH BLAH1");

missile = heli2 fireweapon( "tag_flash_2", dummy,(0,0,0));

iPrintlnBold("BLAH BLAH2");

missile missile_settarget(dummy, ( -432, 128,208 ) );

iPrintlnBold("BLAH BLAH3");

iPrintlnBold("BLAH3");
}

idk wat else to put. im really lost.
