custom rocket launcher problems

[Dat wad noob]

OK, so i refer to this forum for questions. And to be totally honest, i do not understand the wiki that well.
Now heres the problem:

I made a custom rocket launcher (hence the thread name) and there are so REALLY weird problems with. First off, the damn thing fires like 40 rockets a second.
Not only that, but they don't even explode! They just stand in mid air once they hit something. Although it does have a explosion radius, the animation dosent play.

You're using a lot of zero-duration frames. Bear in mind that a frame with a tic length of 0 will never display, the game simply skips right over it. So your Fire state needs the D3RL frames to have a length longer than zero - I'd suggest 2 or 3 per frame just as a start (this will affect the fire rate), the Flash frame should be altered to match (since it's the same frames), and the Death states for your missile need non-zero durations as well or else you will never see them. Also probably wise to put a Stop at the end of the Death state, or the thing will just linger around forever.
