The images for my weapons aren't appearing, it just uses the basic laser sprite. What am I doing wrong?

It would be great if anyone could help.

in the blueprints u have ->

bp value, even if this is useless in-game, i dont know if a value of "0" could cause any crash. I always leave a value of "10" in there. But as i said, this is just a curiousity , i dont think thats the problem

values on "breachance" and "firechance" are from 0-10, so writting something like "80" is useless, and maybe that is wat is causing the crashes.

in the animations u have ->

weapon anim name = "supernova_laser_1" etc

and below u have <sheet>supernova_laser_shot1 etc

the "sheet" calusule must refer to the weapon sheet of the supernova laser, so that code must be "<sheet>supernova_laser1</sheet> (just exactly like the name of the animation).

And finally, u are missing a "<" at the start of one of the animsheet clausules. This is probably wat is causing the crashes.

Thats wat i saw, but u can change all of that, and try again

I'll test that.

**Edit
It works with the value as zero. And by works, I mean doesn't crash.

I was told those were out of 100.

That's embarrassing...

Yay, it works now! Thanks speed, or light, or whatever you like to be called. I'll see if I can finish the ship with these weapons in it tonight and post it.

Well, whot told u that doesnt have almost any idea of the correct values lol. The max value there is 10. Besides, u can just test it if u are not sure, with 10 u will see u ignite fire at the same reate as 100, meaning, a value bigger than 10 will be just 10.

I updated the topic, and I hope you guys can help me out some more.
Thanks!

1. Why is your ship blueprint in the animations file?
2. Change <shieldImage>C:\Users...circle_cruiser_shields1.png</shieldImage> to <shieldImage>supernova_shields1</shieldImage>
(apologies if i come off as rude, i really don't mean to be)

Yeah, that's just me being a moron.

Nah, you were great.

I think superluminal glitched out for the image thing, it's happened a couple times.

And it works¿????? How is that possible lol?? the blueprint file MUST be in the blueprints file..

Okay, new problem. The ship works and everything, but only one of the weapons shows up, albeit without an image. I'll be combing through the code myself to see if I can catch any errors, but the chances are slim. Any ideas this time? Sorry for the hassle, guys.
