This is supposed to create a trooptrans on the player, but it doesn't work. Whenever I select the weapon, if I turn left or right the game crashes. I'm not too good at cogging yet, so if you can find the error please point it out.

NOTE: I first thought the problem was that you couldn't have two templates right on top of eachother (the player and the trooptrans) so I tried to add to the player vector. If that was stupid, or just doesn't work, I won't be using it anyway.

oh, these are just the sections I changed from the strifle.cog The only other change I made was a DestoryThing(thingcreate); in deselected

A thing can be created on another thing, no real sense in using vectors.

So what could be causeing the problem? It wouldn't just be the vectors right?

Hmmm this one looks like a tuffy.

Lets see .. I've only had it once or twice crash and one of them was my Controlable Missile ...

Anyway .... There maybe something wrong with the 3do template you have created ... is it a custom one Hoard ?
