Arming the chinook

I, I tried to put weapons to the chinook helicopter, this is how I edited chinook.cfg

But when I try to start the game an error appears and says "Couldn t find HP-FIRE in army.weapon.chinook

What am I doing wrong?

FirePoints()
{
Add("hp-fire1");
Add("hp-fire2");
}
}
----------------------------------------------

This is the place. I didn't try this. But as I think the above part should be removed from the code. Because the designers haven't assign a fire point to the chinook. So we can't name a place as a fire point in chinook. My opinion is to delete the above code from chinook.cfg. I will also try to do it& let you know what was happened...

did u try this? (just an example)
Add("Attack")
{
Add("army.unit.tank_attack-0.wav");
Add("army.unit.tank_attack-1.wav");
Add("army.unit.tank_attack-2.wav");
Add("army.unit.tank_attack-3.wav");
}
Add("Attacked")
{
Add("army.unit.tank_attacked-0.wav");
Add("army.unit.tank_attacked-1.wav");
}
Add("Move")
{
Add("army.unit.tank_move-0.wav");

Yes, In our alens vs armymen map, we used alot of coding..including that code.. Those code shows the responses of a unit...

Thanks homies, you were right, the problems were in the HP-FIRE, I removed that lines and some other lines, and added the responses, and it worked. I put here the script if someone wants to put the chinook in some of your maps.

here is a screenshot, it uses a tank cannon and can fire to air units

Great job from all.

Great Job my friend..

Nice! But I think fire will be even better than chopper blades But that's just my opinion.

How do I add this to the base folder? Do I replace the contents of obj_army_chinook.cfg?

BTW, can the enemy use a chinook? and can the chinook be used in campaign mode?

yes

BTW, can the enemy use a chinook?

if you reprogram the ai to use it

and can the chinook be used in campaign mode?

by you?
yea i think so (but im not 100% sure on that)

Ok so I replaced the contents of obj_army_chinook.cfg but I get an error that says: (obj_army_chinook.cfg(174): Error! (col 11) Expecting ")" but found ";"
