Hey, so I started following a tutorial on youtube on how to create a simple Tower Defense map. Everything works perfectly except for one thing: the photon cannon animation. I duplicated the photon cannon in the data editor and renamed the duplicate: Basic Cannon. I can create the cannon in-game just fine, but when it goes to shoot something, the middle portion of its model turns completely white or completely black and doesn't shoot anything. Its head thing still bobs back and forth as if it's firing something, but nothing comes out and the target is not damaged. Hopefully you can identify this problem for me

Maybe you need to set a weapons animation for your duplicate.

I already tried that.

I think what you need to do is duplicate the weapon first (and the Missile unit if it is a missile)
then duplicate the cannon and apply the new weapon to the cannon, it works better that way.
