I would say to check in FFEdit to see where that particular FX emanates from, if it comes from the wrong place, copy it, and then change the launch and core points to "Weapon".

IMPORTANT: BACK UP YOUR DAT FILE FIRST.

Just out of curiosity, were you able to get this fixed?

Nope, i think the problem its the char and not the fx. I tried the same fx in other characters and no problem. ..

Since different Meshes have different weapon nodes, can I ask what Mesh and what FX you are using? That would allow someone to give you better advice on this matter.

Yeah, Cyber has it right. It has to do with how the nodes are placed on the mesh and how they are handled through the mesh's keyframes. It can be fixed, but it's a pretty tedious process.

the char is mcu_black_widow_dm and im using a normal bullet fx, i think is nazi soldier projectile mp40. Im using a ranged 2 animation, but i tried ranged 1 too.

This should fix the issue you're having. I gave the Mesh a new weapon node and removed the old one. I also tried it in-game with the Nazi soldier projectile mp40 FX. It appears to work alright, but a second opinion wouldn't hurt.

Just out of curiosity, did this fix the issue with the FX? Or should I ditch this Link?
