making bullets visable

[LairdThunder]

Well on to my next issue.

I'm trying to duplicate springsteens bullet mod, using the common files in the handweapons folder.

I've altered everything to use the bullet standard mesh, made them visible, increased the timetolive, changed the Bullet effect, and still I do not see them.

any thoughts?

Mabey slow the velocity down? I dunno it might be worth a shot...I'm too experienced with that stuff but I know the basics. Reply back if it works or doesn't.

I ditched the concept.

well wouldnt you need to generate about 150fps, and be very fast to be able to see a bullet?

Why don't you add a color to the bullet so it becomes visable. the bullets don't have the color code to be able to see it if you add color to the bullet file it will be visable, u don't need to change the speed of the bullet, and invisable object stay invisable, You need to add color in order to see it.

Here use this effect and you should be able to see it
just change the texture,FX and emitters names and make sure these are 0 for you projectiles, and make sure you have addtemplate or add_start_effect for adding effects.
