Exploder Script Problems

[BulletStopper]

Well, I was foolin' around with some of the tutorials, trying to get used to the ingame scripting and all, and as I was doing the SP Objective tutorial "Bombing Stuff" I stumbled across a problem. As I finished and tested, I found that the sounds, objectives, and actual events of the planting and exploding of the bombs worked, but the effects did not. The wall and Flak 88 turret did not change to the "destroyed" state either.

At first, I checked all the elements in the level to make sure that they were named correctly and such, and found nothing wrong. Then came the script. I checked it SEVERAL times and trimmed any fat that didn't need to be there. But alas, I could not find anything. I don't know if I'm blind, dumb, or just missing somethin', but I know some of you code whizzes out there can set my sorry bum straight. I've provided the crappy code as well.

Thanks in advance.

Try moving the "exec global/exploder.scr" line to the very top of the script.

There should be errors in the console if the exploder fails. You can make a log of the console by typing logfile 2 before you load the level. That makes a text file named qconsole.log in main.
