Ignores rte

If I put this into an existing rte, it ignores this and every file that would normally come after where I put it. Help?

And I don't think Author is an actual Index line... try removing that. All I've got in mine: Code: DataModule ModuleName = Jay Technologies INC IconFile = ContentFile Path = Jay.rte/ModuleIcon.bmp The icon and the name stuff can be safely removed, they only affect the separator in the buy menu. Pretty sure those AddAmmo = AEmitter and AddAmmo = MOSRotating lines should be AddEffect = etc, not Ammo. Yup. After changing those all, and removing the Author line, I've got it erroring out due to Pinball not existing. Last edited by jaybud4 on Sun Jan 11, 2009 4:20 am, edited 1 time in total.

Trying to attach that to an actor is what causes the problem, removing it removes the problem. Code: AddEffect = AEmitter PresetName = Hover Attach Mass = 0.0001 SpriteFile = ContentFile FilePath = Base.rte/Null.bmp FrameCount = 1 SpriteOffset = Vector X = -11 Y = -11 EntryWound = AEmitter CopyOf = Dent Metal ExitWound = AEmitter CopyOf = Dent Metal AtomGroup = AtomGroup AutoGenerate = 1 Material = Material CopyOf = Military Stuff Resolution = 2 Depth = 0 DeepGroup = AtomGroup AutoGenerate = 1 Material = Material CopyOf = Military Stuff Resolution = 3 Depth = 1 DeepCheck = 1 AddEmission = Emission EmittedParticle = MOSRotating CopyOf = Boost5 ParticlesPerMinute = 2400 Spread = 360 MaxVelocity = 200 MinVelocity = 200 PushesEmitter = 0 EmissionEnabled = 1 EmissionCountLimit = 100000 JointStrength = 50 JointStiffness = 0.6 JointOffset = Vector X = 0 Y = 0

You've got Code: AddEmitter = AEmitter CopyOf = Hover Attach ParentOffset = Vector X = -11 Y = -11 But regular attachables go like this Code: AddAttachable = Attachable CopyOf = Soldier Heavy Chest Plate A ParentOffset = Vector X = 3 Y = -3 EDIT: OY! You aren't AddToGroup = 'ing the actor! But I was able to get the tool to show up by performing all the changes listed above and substituting a dummy Pinball material.

I'm not entirely sure what this actor is supposed to be doing, but you're defining all kinds of variables that aren't needed, and even when I added it to my group, it's not showing up. Here's what I've got so far. Attachment: Hover.rte_JayEdit.rar

Thanks for all the help. ^^ And yeah, I don't exaaactly know what I'm doing, my coding strategy is to kind muddle through until it does what I want and then stop. >.>;

I was playing with this today, I found these two to work perfectly for emitters versus attachables. AddAttachable = Attachable (for MOSRots) AddEmitter = AEmitter (for AEmitters)
