I made a animated w3d but you can't setup the animation in LE for a ammo, nor can you attach any scripts to a ammo preset.
Which is why I don't know how to do it.

I think it might relate to adding in a proxy into the bullet, at least I remember doing that for rockets.
You can't actually animate the projectile itself, but you CAN set a trail behind it.

You might be able to fake an animation with LOD (assuming your projectile is supposed to animate while flying). That is the most creative solution I'll come up with; however, LODs only kick in if a certain poly threshold has been exceeded.
Otherwise you could do things like an animated texture to try and pull it off.

Would it be possible to use a callbox to call in an animated missile/tile model and use an invisible box as the actual projectile?
What kind of projectile are you trying to make? Perhaps your idea could work with scrolling textures and emitters?

No, it's not that simple. I want a animated model, it can't be done by textures/emitters.

As someone who knows exactly how the bullet logic works (and has a reverse-engineered copy of all the relevant code sitting in front of me) I can confirm that no, there is no way at all to make a projectile actually animate in the way you seem to want...
