My projectile keeps turning black.

[Lørd Tøny]

The sword spawn is grey, when I hold it the sword is grey but when I throw the sword the projectile is black. I have no idea how to fix it, yes I am editing off Tezuni's black knife script but it feels like it's missing something.

The sword model uses textures that are designed to work with colorshifting, which only applies to images and items and a few other things. Using the sword model as a projectile will cause weird things to happen, just as with almost any other default model.

[Lørd Tøny]

Using the sword model as a projectile will cause weird things to happen, just as with almost any other default model.

But I'm not using a sword model as a projectile, I'm using a special projectile model for it.

If you noticed that isn't the default sword.

[Lørd Tøny]

Well I changed the model from knife to spear and the spear is black so I know it's the script now.

[RedGajin]

Is the script color shifting the item.

Also, sticking items suck because they float in the air if the brick or person moves.

[Lørd Tøny]

Is the script color shifting the item.

Nope

Also, sticking items suck because they float in the air if the brick or person moves.

I don't care I want it to stick and it disappears when it hits a player, what are you talking about?

[Demian]

The projectile model uses a texture that is black or the model has messed up normals.

[Lørd Tøny]

The projectile model uses a texture that is black or the model has messed up normals.

Well I tried changing it but I can't find the colorshift for the projectile.

[Amade]

But I'm not using a sword model as a projectile, I'm using a special projectile model for it.

If you noticed that isn't the default sword.

Oh, I had just glanced at the picture. I'm still fairly certain that this is what's causing your problem, though.

Well I changed the model from knife to spear and the spear is black so I know it's the script now.

The spear model is also designed for colorshifting.

Well I tried changing it but I can't find the colorshift for the projectile.

It doesn't exist. You're just going to have to make the model use opaque textures.

[Lørd Tøny]

Are you sure it's not script related?

[Mr.Noßody]

I see your editing the black knife..

[Lørd Tøny]

I see your editing the black knife..

I liked the throw function but I think I may have to start from scratch.

[Demian]

It appears you can't colorshift projectiles. On Appendix A page 108 there is no variable for colorshifting nor is there one in the default variables for projectiles.

[Lørd Tøny]

You're just going to have to make the model use opaque textures.

Transparent versions of the grey and dark grey or transparent like transparent bricks/vehicles?

[Lørd Tøny]

The spear doesn't have a transparent texture, so how do you know that will work?
