ok, i have been working on a droppable bomb for the X-17 Raptor and i have come across a problem, i have it fropping bombs, that explode and are fairly grunty, BUT if they happen to kill somone the game crashs, i have no idea why... this is what i did in insolence

i duplicated these,
Frag Grenade PROJ
Frag Grenade Explosion JPT
Scorpoion cannon WEAP.

in the newly dup'd nade PROJ, i changed its dependancys so the JPT pointed to the new copy, i changed its HLMT so it looks like the assult bomb.

then i changed the Warthog's weapon from Horn to the new copy of the scorp turret.

i then changed the proj's in the scorp turret so that primary fire is the new Grenade / bomb, and the secondary fire is Chaingun Bullet.

then i went into ch2r and changed a few things in the JPT of the new nade to have a bgger explosion thats more powerfull. then i resigned and transferd to the xb.

everything works fine the bomb drops, looks like the Assult bomb, explodes, blows shit up, but if it kills somone the game crash's, no clue why... Any ideas?

Becuase you made the hog have the turret. Why'd you do that? You can just change it so that the horn has a projectile. Unless you were trying to see the turret on the hog?

you cant see the turret, its completly invisable, i didnt just set the horn to have a proj because i want dual fire, wich the scorpion has, i will make a SPPF, and post a link, and you will see what i mean, i swapped the horn for the turret weap, the turret can be seen, all it does is make the jeep have dual fire.... brb 10 mins.

:::EDIT:::
ok, heres the patch, http://www.potholestudios.xmgfree.com/Broken.sppf
its for Coag, and everything is Visually correct, im not trying to use the turret for show, its hidden like i want, it just gives the driver Dual Fire. (i know things aret completly done yet (the raptor still has wheels and no wings, but its a stock map) just trying to get a few small things ironed out before i put the rest in. this patch will show the problem im having. dont forget to resign!

He didn't give it a turret. The turret is a vehi and has it's own weap (which is also called scorpion cannon). The weap itself has no hlmt and normally attaches to the vehi, but Dazz swapped it for the horn instead (and I assume, since it's our usual M.O. in these cases, that he gave the weap the longsword's hlmt.
As a side note, giving a flying vehicle a turret can be very useful, since the turret will fire where you're aiming rather than the direction the vehicle is facing (the direction the vehicle faces is usually a bit behind the reticle when turning quickly).
