[Help] My sniper rifle add-on

[GeneralR98]

I need help with my first add-on, which happens to be a sniper rifle. The issues are just the animation and rendering. I would really appreciate some help with this because i've tried to fix it for about 3 days. The file links are below:

Taking a look at this right now.
EDIT:
Looks like you're missing a mountpoint, muzzlepoint and ejection point, also no Detail32 or Shape, You also need to scale your model

It would be nice if you could post pictures of your add-on.

I would but there's a problem with that, I can't get it to render correctly but i'll work on it.

[GeneralR98]

I know about all of that but the ejection point, what is the name of that?

[GeneralR98]

One of the main issues is in Blender that some meshes snap to eachother no matter what I do, which includes changing names, inserting keyframes, and scaling.

I know about all of that but the ejection point, what is the name of that?

"ejectPoint" or try "ejectionPoint"

[Pass]

Are you talking about the ejection point of the projectile? If so, that is muzzlePoint

I would but there's a problem with that, I can't get it to render correctly but i'll work on it.

ok ill work on that. Also I have gotten it scaled right but doesn't get held in the right spot. I also have fixed the snapping meshes so that's no big deal anymore.

Here's the nodes you should have:

ejectPoint
mountPoint
muzzlePoint

The main problem is that all the tutorials say to make a joint and not a bone/armature but i can only make a bone/armature. Does that effect how the weapon turns out?

[heedicalking]

They are basically the same thing

[GeneralR98]

But does it do the same thing if its a bone if it was just a joint?

[heedicalking]

yes they are basically the same in functionality, especially for what you are using them for.
