restored all code to original version and all problems came back with it..i had to change explosions in weaponsfx00 to false then i had to remove this piece of code from the aifps01.wdl....

if(random(8) < 3)
{
temp.x = random(4) - (2);
temp.y = random(4) - (2);
temp.z = random(4);
effect(FXA_Exp1_FX,1,my.x,temp);
}
the error message for it is....aifps01.wdl 1487:0()parameter unknown FXA_exp1_FX

if i could just find the fxa_exp1_fx i'm sure i could adjust it to work properly...thanks for any help...pirate
