I have a gun and my gun has a magazine. No matter what I do to the code, my magazine won't move. I want it in the middle of the gun, but there isn't a single variable available to change it.

I tried changing
Code:
   Magazine = Magazine
      CopyOf = Magazine C4 Shotgun
      ParentOffset = Vector
         X = 9
         Y = 0


and

Code:
   EjectionOffset = Vector
      X = 9
      Y = 0


Neither of them change where the magazine goes. I have searched the forum and no one seems to know how to move the magazine.

Doin' it wrong.
Find "JointOffset" in the magazine code and change it.

ParentOffset doesn't seem to do ♥♥♥♥, and EjectionOffset determines where the casings come out of.

Yeah, I actually figured it out :/


I hate when that happens. You try for 20 minutes trying to figure something out, and the moment you post for help you figure it out.

Well while I'm here, any way to change the direction the magazine ejects?

Sometimes you have to name the copied magazine (actually, anything that is being offsetted). Not sure exactly what makes it require the change, but to be safe you can always name your copy.
