I made a tank in Milkshape 3D. It has a FIRESPOT bone.

I imported it to Game Guru as a character using the importer and added the RPG weapon via the FPE file. Also assigned an ai script.

The tank tracks the player and fires one rocket. However, it then continues to track the player but never fires any more rockets.

Anyone have any ideas?

LOL, not very helpful in a warzone. Perhaps his real dream was to be in the ballet? Sorry, also, lordjulian, I couldn't resist either, and I'm also sorry I can't help you, I have no idea why it wouldn't shoot more than once.

Had the same issue with Harry's tank, its something to do with the reload being hard coded I think but never solved it.
If you use a different weapon it likely works fine?

The Uzi works OK but I decided to go back to RPG and live with the one hit wonder trait.

To be honest "Onky" is a rubbish name for your tank ....
I wouldn't want to drive it either

The "fix" that does work OK is to simply put a sound and use HurtPlayer(e,v) instead of the fire weapon(e).
As long as you check the player is visible and/or the tank is facing the right way it will at least fire more than once... Just need a timer to delay the damage.
You just won't be able to see the missile moving as there won't be one.

I can't test right now but do the RPG soldiers only fire once?
If not, what's different?

I'm sure this must be a small thing. It may be worth mailing Lee about it. Is it an ammo count thing? I haven't tried to do anything like this myself, I generally avoid as much 3D modelling as possible. I'm sure if you mailed Lee with it, he would be happy to fix it, if it is down to hard coding

I have a feeling it's as DVader says an ammo count issue, RPG probably only comes with one rocket and the script for RPG soldier adds ammo on a timer?

I think you are right,if I remember right.if you take it of a dead soldier you only get one rocket.

It's looking for specific animation frames to have completed first prior to resetting the fire capability (presumably the reload of the rocket). If you merge the rocketman animations into your model (then add any others for your tank) it should work OK.

Attached is an example - don't get excited about the model - it's a cube with three bones I quickly created But shows that the RPG can multiple fire when attached to other models. Place the attached in the entitybank\character folder then select as normal.

I had this issue with the airships in Cogwheel - wanted them to fire cannons (repurposed RPGs) at the player as they were encountered.

Cheers.
