UE2 - UT2kX Troubles with a small mutator

[Parabola]

I haven't been coding long so, I'm pretty confused as to what's going on here.

I'm trying to figure out what is going on with the mutator. I was following this wiki tutorial on how to change vehicle weapons, and went to compile with Umake.

here's the errors it spat out:

ClassProperty Onslaught.ONSVehicle.DriverWeaponStruct.WeaponClass: unresolved reference to 'class'Onslaught.ONSAttackCraftMissile',WeaponBone=PlasmaGunAttachment)'
DriverWeapons::ImportText failed in: (WeaponClass=class'Onslaught.ONSAttackCraftMissile',WeaponBone=PlasmaGunAttachment)

and the code:

DriverWeapons(0)=(WeaponClass=class'Onslaught.ONSAttackCraftMissile',WeaponBone=PlasmaGunAttachment);

In your .ini file (UT2k4.ini, or make.ini if using UMake.exe) is Onslaught listed in the EditPackages section? Also, is that code bit you posted from your vehicle classes default properties?

[EDIT] Nevermind, You can't use ONSAttackCraftMissile as the weapon class since it is a projectile subclass, not a ONSWeapon subclass. You would have to try to use ONSAttackCraftGun instead, or just code a suitable subclass that fires the ONSAttackCraftMissile.

hey, thank you for the quick reply. I'm just disappointed that the tutorial never mentioned anything about that.

The tutorial author probably assumed that you knew the difference between a weapon and a projectile. Just think about it: You can pull the trigger of a gun to fire a bullet, but bullets don't have triggers to pull, so you can't really use them as a weapon. They are only useful if fired from a gun.
