[Solved]Collision problem(LinkBeam trace)

[DuckSauce]

I've an object that the LinkGun is supposed to attach to, for starters I just had this have the Barrel mesh, it worked then.

Then I went a bit further and instead of a mesh made the object be represented by the Shock Ball's particle effect.

Worked fine, but no collision at all, used a CollisionCylinder to get Collisions working, unfortunately it only works for the player, the LinkBeam will just pass straight through as if nothing's there.

I know from past experience I can succesfully link the LinkBeam with ShockBalls and for this object I'm trying to mimic that behaviour.

Anyone can point me to the simple fix this probably requires?

Here's my current default properties:

DefaultProperties
{
 //   Begin Object Name=StaticMeshComponent0
 //           StaticMesh=None
 //   End Object

	//Components.Remove(StaticMeshComponent0);
	StaticMeshComponent=None

	GatherPointEffectTemplate=ParticleSystem'WP_ShockRifle.Particles.P_WP_ShockRifle_Ball'

	bCollideWorld=true
	bProjTarget=True

	bCollideComplex=true

	Begin Object Class=CylinderComponent Name=CollisionCylinder
		CollisionRadius=64
		CollisionHeight=64
		AlwaysLoadOnClient=True
		AlwaysLoadOnServer=True
		BlockNonZeroExtent=true
		BlockZeroExtent=true
		BlockActors=true
		CollideActors=true
	End Object

	CollisionComponent=CollisionCylinder
	CylinderComponent=CollisionCylinder
	Components.Add(CollisionCylinder)

	bCanBeDamaged=true
	bCollideActors=true
}

Been looking at the WeaponCalcFire function and Collision Reference, still can't figure out why the LinkBeam is going straight through the collision cylinder...

Anyone?

Finally fixed it, I thought it'd be a good idea to try to recompile the map now that it was only using particles instead of a static mesh. Turned out the object wouldn't even show in the editor, since I guess the editor won't show the particle effect hehe.

Found Sprite which could be used to display a sprite in the editor, I could see the objects and recompile them into the map then, but still didn't work in game and got the following warning: DynamicSMActor has a StaticMeshComponent with NULL StaticMesh property

So instead of using the sprite I decided to use the barrel mesh again, but like this instead:
Begin Object Name=StaticMeshComponent0
StaticMesh=StaticMesh'Interactive_Meshes.SM.Barrel _01'
HiddenGame=True
End Object

(And setting the CollisionComponent to the CollisionCylinder instead of the StaticMesh)

Now I have a barrel respresentation of my ShockBall particle effect using object in the Editor, but the Barrel won't be seen in game as it should. However now the compile warning is gone and the link beam is detecting my object now finally!

So problem solved!
