There are two spots where you have to change the Shape File (the model) in a weapon script: One spot is in the Item datablock and the other is in the Weapon datablock.

What happened is that you didn't change the Weapon datablock shapefile. Find these lines:

Code: [Select]

////////////////
//weapon image//
////////////////
datablock ShapeBaseImageData(bowImage)
{
   // Basic Item properties
   shapeFile = "./bow.dts";
   emap = true;

Change the shapefile to your weapon model's name

Code: [Select]

////////////////
//weapon image//
////////////////
datablock ShapeBaseImageData(bowImage)
{
   // Basic Item properties
   shapeFile = "./YourWeaponNameHere.dts";  //Replace YourWeaponNameHere with the name of your weapon
   emap = true;

Try that. If you already changed this line or the problem persists then we'll need more info.

no still didnt work heres the script:

[Muffinmix]

Code: [Select]

//////////
// item //
//////////
datablock ItemData(CrossBowItem)
{
category = "Weapon";  // Mission editor category
className = "Weapon"; // For inventory system

// Basic Item Properties
shapeFile = "./CrossBow.dts";
rotate = false;
mass = 1;
density = 0.2;
elasticity = 0.2;
friction = 0.6;
emap = true;

//gui stuff
uiName = "CrossBow";
iconName = "./icon_bow";
doColorShift = true;
colorShiftColor = "0.400 0.196 0 1.000";

// Dynamic properties defined by the scripts
image = bowImage;    // <--------------------------------------- Well there's your problem
canDrop = true;
};
Your weapon is still using the Bow image. Change that to CrossbowImage
