OpenRA

Hi all!

I just found OpenRa, and its awesome. i already changed cnc to my liking planning on playing whit some friends.
But now i tried to add a new building and i get an exception "Exception of type `System.IO.FileNotFoundException`: File not found: gunbmake.shp"

I wanted to clone the turret and give it a long range weapon. so i tried copy the entrees in structures and seq/structures
i copied Gun: in both structures and in sequences/structures. i tried looking for the normal Gunmake.shp but i cant find it any where i looked around also for gun.shp i dont even know what a shp is. for reference here is what i did to the orginal code.
I chagend all Gunmakes to Gunbmake, note: i also tried leaving gunmake like it was but that threw an exception too
"gunb:
idle: gunbmake # Empty first frame. We need WithSpriteBody for the make anim, and WSB needs at least a placeholder default sequence to work

i hope you can hellp me out i have some experience in coding and i could not find any how to do this online.

What was the exception you got when you used "gunmake"? (I'd assume it was looking for "gunb.shp"?)
If you don't want to change the graphics I would delete the gunb sequences again and add the following to the gunb rules:

Yes indeed it was looking for gunb.shp,
This is the full exception.

Thanks you for your response, i will remove gunb from the sequence/structure and add your line to my gunb rules, i hope it works
"

If i remove Gunb completly from the sequence/structures and add
RenderSprites:
Image: GUN/gun

I get this exeption.

Exception of type `OpenRA.YamlException`: Actor type gunb: Junk value `GUN` on trait node Image

I also tried
Inherits:Gun at both structures .yalm and sequence/structures.yalm, i then got an error stating cannot find icon.
When i tried to put the orignal icon into gunb (icon: gunicnh.tem)
I got en error stating cannot find icon: gunicnh.tem.shp

I also tried inherits at seq/structures, and adding this to gunb,

gunb:
Inherits: gun
RenderSprites:
Image: gun
and in /structures.
GUNB:
Inherits: GUN
Inherits@AUTOTARGET: ^AutoTargetGround
then i get this error,
Exception of type `OpenRA.YamlException`: Actor type gunb: Junk value `gunicnh.tem` on trait node icon
i am not sure what is going on but it should not be this hard to clone a building and add a different weapon?

Something seems to be wrong with your indentation if it complains about junk values. Did you use the correct amount of tabs? (Don't use spaces)
