Title: My custom gun doesn't exist?
Post by: SlimeCrusher on March 01, 2014, 04:19:43 PM

I created a Flamethrower, a basic machine gun that fires 30 bullets in a very rapid fashion, with a flame graphic, so i re-created a flamethrower basically, but there's one problem...
It doesn't spawn or even appear in the debug menu...
Any ideas? This is how my Weapons_Guns.xml (Wich i called "Weapons_NewGuns.xml") looks like:

Are you missing the <ThingDefs> tag at the end of your document?

You missed the </ThingDefs> tag.

The document opens with a <ThingDefs> tag; you need to close that. All XML documents have one parent tag like this.

Oh thanks! It should work now...
Umm a question, how do you put new sounds to guns? Like the flamethrower sounds like a pistol, but can i add a new custom sound? All sounds are shots if im right
I have a problem with the texture and the <damageType>BulletIncendiary</damageType> but i think i can solve them out by myself

You can't make DamageTypes in Alpha2. Use the Flame damage type.

For the sound, you'll have to make a SoundDef, and point it at a .wav file in your Sounds directory. The Core mod has examples.

Again, thanks! I tried using the BulletIncendiary, it worked perfectly, although it filled the place with oil poddles lol
I'll try the sound, i have finnaly found a suitable sound, i'll post the mod when i finish as a test mod

Edit: Umm in reality, it wasn't <damageType>, it was <thingClass>, the thing that was used in the T-9 IL to make it work, i'll add the damageType also to see what i got, although it works perfectly, only i'll make the reload time a bit lower, as its EXTREMELY UNDERpowered...
Also, i can't get the sound working, i'll post the mod without sound for now, if i make it work i'll post the complete test mod
