- Then select "weapons/{gun name}/{projectile name} and click it once
- Then go up to the top where it says "swap"
- Then select the projectile you want and hit save not save meta
END OF TUTORIAL
Making The Warthog Speed
- Open HMT again(and open a map)
- Go down and expand the Vehi section
- select warthog_mp for regular warthog or rwarthog for rocket warthog
