.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

OK, ive read every tutorial and every thread involving MG42's, but I cannot get them to work. The nazis walk up and man them, but dont turn or fire them. There are two gunner/mg sets, names MG42_gunner/MG42 and MG42Gunner_2/MG42_2. There are lines between the gunners and MGs, and I have the AI settings correct. Here is the .scr file:
exec global/loadout.scr maps/test.scr
exec global/ai.scr

main:
level waittill spawn
$mg42 thread global/mg42_active.scr::mg42
$mg42_2 thread global/mg42_active.scr::mg42_2
end

What am I doing wrong?

I have the same problem with the gunners not shooting. One thing that might be wrong with your script, though is this line:

$mg42_2 thread global/mg42_active.scr::mg42_2

The last part, after global/mg42_active.scr:: is a thread in the script mg42_active.scr. This shouldn't be changed to the name of your gun. It needs to stay mg42 because that's the name of thread in the script.

I hope this helps a little and I hope someone can tell us why our gunners aren't shooting.

Hey guys

I have a gunner in my maps. In my script, I had the $mg42 thread global/mg42_active.scr::mg42 in between waittill prespawn and spawn. Mine works fine with it there. Try that. Also, make sure your AI gunner is labeled as a machinegunner in the AI parameter window (press I ).

Still not working... if someone is willing, ill email the map and scr, its not very big, basically an AI test.

Any errors in console?

You may send me the files (zip 'em).

well I think that I got my mg42 to work for spearhead by useing the global/turret.scr in that script all mg42's have the same targetname $mg42

if ($mg42)
for (local.i=1;local.i<$mg42.size+1;local.i++)
$mg42[local.i] thread mg42_start

mg42_start local.type:
level waittill spawn
if !(self.set)
self.set = -1

if (self.target)
{
local.man = $(self.target)
local.man.mg = self
.local.man thread gunner_think
}

gunner_think:
self.mg targettype "auto"
self type_idle "machinegunner"
self type_attack "machinegunner"
self type_disguise "machinegunner"
self type_grenade "machinegunner"
self gun "MG42"
self turret self.mg

the gunner is the $mg42's target . Also I think you can do it without any script you just have to make sure you press I to bring up ai's property box and set the "turret" to the targetname of your gun but don't ! set the ai's target to be the gun . the gun's target can be the man not vise versa .I had a friend that deleted the target for the ai and got his gun to work .

Yeah, I had the gunners targeting the guns instead of the other way around. it works fine now.
