right still no sound of tank and only see the tank fire when told to, but no explosion?

this is what my scr looks like now.

tiger:

$tiger1.Path = $node1 // Set the tank path.
$tiger1.TankSpeed = 7 // Set the tank speed value.
$tiger1.Acceleration = 30 // Set the tank acceleration value.
$tiger1.ReachDistance = 200 // Set the tank reaching distance value.
$tiger1.LookAhead = 64 // Set the tank look ahead value

$tiger1 setcollisionentity self.target // Set the tank collision mask
$tiger1.angle = 360
local.gun = $tiger1 QueryTurretSlotEntity 0
$tiger1 nodamage

tankagain:

$node1.target = NULL
$tiger1 drive $node1
$tiger1 waittill drive
$tiger1 stop
local.gun setAimTarget $aim1
local.gun waittill ontarget
local.gun startfiring
wait 1
local.gun stopFiring
wait 5

$node2.target = $node3
$node3.target = $node4
$node4.target = NULL
$tiger1 drive $node2
$tiger1 waittill drive
$tiger1 stop
local.gun setAimTarget $aim2
local.gun waittill ontarget
local.gun startfiring
wait 1
local.gun stopFiring
wait 5

$node5.target = NULL
$tiger1 drive $node5
$tiger1 waittill drive
$tiger1 stop
local.gun setAimTarget $aim3
local.gun waittill ontarget
local.gun startfiring
wait 1
local.gun stopFiring
wait 5

only a few paths shown^

Right, it seems I might be able to help as I've just done something vaguely similar with some flak88's.
For the explosion: I followed a tutorial where the explosion effect was spawned into the map by the gun fire script, then removed after the explosion. This is what it looks like:

local.Exp1 = spawn "fx/scriptbazookaexplosion.tik" //Spawns the fx
local.Exp1.origin = local.a //Located the explosion at the target
local.Exp1 anim start // Does the effect

That is part of a bigger script where local.a is the target so you might need to change it a bit.

For the sounds: You are probably getting an error in console about an aliascache in ubersound etc etc. I was with my flak guns, I used JV's new ubersound work around and they work great, you can find it here: viewtopic.php?t=4210

Hope that helps.

Bilko.

PS. The script I used for my flak88's includes a random aiming script so the explosion isn't in the same place every time. I'll give you that if you want too.

since this is a mp map, did you put it in the right folder?

i think its to do with the ubersound. If that is the problem it will come up in console. Yes, I'll have a look at your map, not that I'll be able to do much. My MSN is shuriken1@supanet.com, you can send it on that.
