I agree, it looks pro. It looks like it was supposed to be this way.

Make sure that in your first person model the clip mesh is detached from from the rest of the mesh. Then make sure your clip is called f_cm_**** The f meaning first person, the cm meaning clip mesh, and the **** is the 4 letter notation for the weapon, i think it's snip not sure tho. The game should do the rest.

The way I do it for animated clip reloads is to leave the clip in the model and animate it leaving the gun for the reload animation. The clip always leaves downward but appears to be more complex because of the angle of the gun at the time.

Bump.

While reading through this tutorial, http://www.renhelp.net/index.php?mod=Tutorials&action=view&id=52 , I felt like editing the existing AutoRifle, to give it a more futuristic look.

Based on the files I downloaded from the tutorial, I came up with this. It is supposed to be a weapon replacement for the automatic rifle.

Just like DeathLink6.0 I'm stuck with the issue of duplicate clips, and I could not find a fix. Who can help?

Do what I said in my original post but do not use an external clip model or any other settings that go along with that.

EDIT: Or do a full blown full clip rig.

I dont know how to animate really.
I just assumed that if I named and set everything right in the gmax file, it would cooperate with the existing animations.

I'm having the same issue when exporting the sample sniper rifle in the modtools folder.

So maybe if someone is willing to help, I could send that person the gmax file to get it fixed. If so, gracias.

Now better? I really shouldn't post files when i'm tired. I used extremely wrong way to make it so it has a small flash in animation witch i couldn't remove... How do you set visibility of object in animation?

Oh lol.. The original poster of this topic had the same question I had.

I moved clip 2 meters lower so you can't see it and then setted it to move by teleport so you can't even see it move.
