So, I don't see anything in the ammunition that would cause the issue, although that's generally where I've had it occur. You're using a custom magazine too, so it may be that theres a mismatch between the ammunition listed there and the one you intend to use?

#

It could still be an issue with your ammo, but it's easier to look for the bigger issues first, to save us from having to check every parameter in the ammo over text haha

#

@scenic arrow The normal underbarrel GL's don't use a magazine, so could you possibly show me how you decided to set yours up?

I decided to start from scratch, so I couldn't go back. Now I can't slot the weapon either, I'll try to figure that out

#

scenic arrow Jan 29, 2026, 11:52 PM

#

Yes, most of these errors have been fixed, but now the reload isn't working. It's not loading the bullet 😄

#

This job is easier in Arma 3, I even released the mod there, but...

thin geode Jan 29, 2026, 11:54 PM

#

Its more than likely stemming for your use of magazines with the grenade launcher ammo, but its hard to tell without knowing everything youve done in the project 😅

This side is like this. SCR_MuzzleInMagComponent

thin geode Jan 29, 2026, 11:58 PM

#

No, I mean the grenade magazine that you had sent me an image of earlier

#

This one

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:00 AM

#

#

The grenade ammunition for the game also does not reload.

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:04 AM

#

That just looks like your grenade, not the magazine. Are you no longer using a magazine?

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:08 AM

#

thin geode That just looks like your grenade, not the magazine. Are you no longer using a m...

Yes. I decided to use the game's own grenade.

#

Otherwise, it will be difficult for me.

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:09 AM

#

Okay, good it would give you issues otherwise. How are you creating your own from the grenades that already exist? Are you using the inherit, duplicate, or override method?

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:10 AM

#

thin geode Okay, good it would give you issues otherwise. How are you creating your own fro...

I am inheriting and editing it.

#

I'm making it fully compatible with the Arma reforger.

#

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:15 AM

#

You're right clicking and selecting inherit on the entity, or the xob?

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:15 AM

#

thin geode You're right clicking and selecting inherit on the entity, or the xob?

yes, I right-click and press duplicate.

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:16 AM

#

🥲 on what exactly?

#

also inherit and duplicate are not the same

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:17 AM

#

#

I'll try again as an inheritance, but as I said, the game doesn't reload its own bullets either.

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:19 AM

#

Okay, and the all white model that you're showing in the mag indicator, is that a custom model you made already?

#

No need to use inheritance, duplication is fine and what I used when creating my own grenade mod

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:19 AM

#

Yes, that model is mine. I just didn't paint it.

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:20 AM

#

Did you create an entity out of it as well, or does only the xob exist?

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:20 AM

#

Only xob

#

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:21 AM

#

If it is easier for you, I can hop in a vc and walk you through this

#

I just finished a 40mm grenade mod of my own, so its very fresh in my mind

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:22 AM

#

thin geode I just finished a 40mm grenade mod of my own, so its very fresh in my mind

I'd love to, but my English listening skills aren't very good.

#

But we can try

#

Can you see my screen?

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:23 AM

#

Yes, one moment, Ill leave and come back 😅 my discord is being buggy

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:24 AM

#

oh oky

#

yes

#

are you a writer

#

that would be great

#

It would be better if you turned on your screen.

#

i watch

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:26 AM

#

Okay haha

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:26 AM

#

i got the same one

#

i did it

#

the .et file i just opened

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:28 AM

#

So {1663496AE5B9F10B}Prefabs/Weapons/Ammo/Ammo_Grenade_HEDP_M433.et, we duplicate

#

Xob = binary model

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:29 AM

#

i cant see that tab on you screen

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:29 AM

#

{D79EBB1BB388141E}Assets/Weapons/Ammo/Grenades/M433/M433_projectile.xob

#

To the projectile model

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:30 AM

#

arent we going to paste with edit prabfs

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:30 AM

#

With our custom prefabs yes

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:30 AM

#

thin geode {D79EBB1BB388141E}Assets/Weapons/Ammo/Grenades/M433/M433_projectile.xob

So where should I put the message I posted above?

#

yes

#

where should i go here?

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:31 AM

#

Projectile, and scroll down

#

Go back, you had it

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:32 AM

#

right there?

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:33 AM

#

Good good

#

perfect, yup

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:34 AM

#

nope

#

cant we use the one that belongs to the arma?

#

Oh. It would be better to do that later.

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:35 AM

#

Yeah, thats fine, its just what governs the explosion and damage resulting from it

#

This is all you want to change

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:36 AM

#

oky

#

My reload still isn't working.

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:38 AM

#

can you fire?

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:38 AM

#

watch again

#

R is not working

#

What do you think we can do?

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:39 AM

#

make sure you are only grabbing the grenades we just made

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:39 AM

#

I took them, yes

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:39 AM

#

for now, remove the others
from the scene

#

Try the m16 for me

#

it already has a round in it, so shoot that first

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:41 AM

#

There's a problem with my gun.

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:42 AM

#

Yeah, for sure. Can you walk me through how you created it?

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:42 AM

#

First, let me show you the weapon component.

#

The settings here are as follows. Grenade Launcher is selected.

#

idk, are you a write

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:44 AM

#

Keep going through the components

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:44 AM

#

want you see custom attributes?

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:44 AM

#

Ahhh, did you inherit from the M16a2 to create this?

#

and yes

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:44 AM

#

Nope

#

I saw a grenade launcher mod at the workshop and copied what the guy did.

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:45 AM

#

What did he do?

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:45 AM

#

this

#

I did exactly the same thing

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:46 AM

#

Right, but how are you replicating it on your end?

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:46 AM

#

thin geode Right, but how are you replicating it on your end?

I'm creating an .et from scratch and writing the values the guy wrote, selecting the classes.

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:47 AM

#

Ah, therein lies your issue. Let me pull up his mod, but I believe it actually uses scripts as well. Best, easiest way for you to not have issues is actually using his mod as a dependency, and then inheriting from one of his grenade launchers

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:48 AM

#

thin geode Ah, therein lies your issue. Let me pull up his mod, but I believe it actually u...

I tried that too, but it didn't work either.

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:48 AM

#

Let me try, I will do it on video

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:49 AM

#

For example, the weapons I made by looking at another mode work even though there is no inheritance.

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:49 AM

#

thin geode Let me try, I will do it on video

Oky

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:49 AM

#

scenic arrow Oky

Yes, but wont work here because the functionality is dependent on those scripts that he uses.

#

Just like with the grenade, we can now replace the mesh in MeshObject

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:51 AM

#

yes

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:51 AM

#

This is the only way you'll find to make it work, since its dependent on BigChugus scripts

#

and configs

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:52 AM

#

They have it, and so do I.

#

the same thing.

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:52 AM

#

No you dont

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:52 AM

#

yes i did see

#

Are you watching?

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:53 AM

#

Yes

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:53 AM

#

Yes, but I corrected the parts that I thought needed correction.

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:53 AM

#

Thats not how it works though, you still need the actual prefabs, scripts, and configs as he has them set up. Copy paste wont work here

#

Thats definitely where the issue is arising from. Create your mod with BigChungusLaunchers as a dependency

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:55 AM

#

What do you suggest then? I can rewrite COnfig and the others from scratch.

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:55 AM

#

They have to exist as they exist in that mod, rewriting them in your own is not how it works.

#

It is all dependent on his logic, as it already exists, so trying to rework it with pieces missing is where your problems arise from

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:56 AM

#

It would be nice to have a sample mod, but it seems like there isn't one. I'll think about it some more. I have a mod I made before, and I made it this way too.

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:56 AM

#

okie dokie

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:57 AM

#

for example

#

I made this mod with another mod.

#

Are you looking at my screen?

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:58 AM

#

mhm

#

Right, but these weapons just borrow already existing logic from the vanilla game, so there is no issue.

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:59 AM

#

thin geode Right, but these weapons just borrow already existing logic from the vanilla gam...

Thanks for your help. I'll try again in the morning. If I succeed, I'll let you know.

thin geode Jan 30, 2026, 12:59 AM

#

Alrighty, good luck salute

scenic arrow Jan 30, 2026, 12:59 AM

#

Thank you very much again.
