Adding cont and proj tags

So I am having a couple problems, and if someone could help that would be great.

First off, I am trying to add a contrail tag to the SMG's projectile using Entity 1.3's chunk cloner. I copy the Attachments46 reflexive from another gun (sniper or BR) and add it to the SMG, then add meta to map. No problems; works fine when I try it on my xbox. However, when I click "fix system link" in Entity I get all sorts of broken idents (mostly effe and pmov tags). This does not happen until I inject the cont tag and I am sure my map is 100% proper (it even does this same thing when I try adding a cont tag to a weapon on a clean map). I know I can duplicate another proj with a cont and change it like the SMG but that would be a lot more work if I can get this working instead.

Second, I also get broken idents when I duplicate the proj tag of any of the weapons in Entity's Chunk Cloner. I'm not quite sure what is the best method of adding additional proj tags to a weapon, as I would like to avoid duplicating the carbine (b/c carbine already has 2 proj's) and changing it all around.

Luckily I keep backups as I work on my mod, so I have one before I did anything with adding proj or cont tags and no idents are broken, but I am at a bit of a standstill. Everything else works great and I have been so thrilled with Entity (compared to what was available when I started modding).

For your contrail problem, I strongly suggest you just clone a projectile with a contrail and edit it to your liking; it'll save you alot more time in the long run.

I was worried that would be the case

Seems strange how you cant just add that reflex to the proj tag... oh well. Anyone know about adding a second proj to a weapon? There was some old tutorial on halomods but the pictures are all dead.

This has a projectile adding tutorial I believe: http://www.savefile.com/files/598757

Thanks that was the one I found before that lost its pictures. However, that is pretty old and adds chunks with Glitchy Guardian's chunk adder, which makes the map improper. I'd like to do this in Entity if possible.

Just clone the chunks using entity instead of Glitchy Guardian's app.

Thats the thing. When I clone the proj chunk under the Triggers reflex I get broxen idents.
