Hello!

I am having some problems at converting the corsair into a carrier stiled ship. I just want to make it to look like a carrier, and use a custom attack. I've become familiar with DatEdit. I have a custom grp file named corsair.grp, and my units, weapons, flingy, sprites and images.dat file. I've put them into an mpq file, then made a self-executing stuff from it. After thousands of tryings and crashes, I've realized that I may need more than DatEdit, and run into IceCC and iscript.bin. I've modified it for my needs, but every time when I want to attack with the ship, it just attacks once, then stops, but then it's still have the attack button highlighted, and keeps following it's target without actually shooting it. After some time the game crashes. Also note that the missile doesn't show up.

Are you using the original Carrier GRP? In your script, you're using at least 3 framesets, and I thought the Carrier only had one frameset.

I have a custom corsair.grp file with 85 images in it. Anyway perhaps I should get know what does frameset mean

A frame is a single image, a frameset is a set of 17 frames, comprising the rotation for one frame of animation.
