On converting workshop 34 to lite-C I found that the players weapon disappears once the player has picked it up. The red target spot is clearly visible and can be used to shoot down the three targets.

The code for AUM59 was updated in AUM72 questions from the forum. I have implemented this code, but the player weapon is still not visible (after the player picks it up).

Can you pleas help?

I don't see this in AUM 72. Could you please paste the code so someone can help you? It sounds like a visible false setting issue. try right clicking the weapon in WED and double checking (maybe it is acting like a pick up object and vanishing when collided).

All the code from Aum is created by me and tested by me, so it works for sure. It looks like your model has the origin in the wrong place; open Med, and then place it in the center. As an alternative, you can play with the x, y, z values from weapon's entity definition.

If this doesn't fix the problem, the problem is somewhere else. Try to use my snippet from Aum72 without adding anything else to it, and then add your own stuff line by line, until you discover what's causing the problem.
