i want to be sure we are talking about the same thing so let me explain my plan.

in the shells.zon every node has the same name, they are all labeled "AmmoDamageInfo" and they only have different ID numbers to tell them appart.

what i wanted to do was take the name of the coresponding node in the dat and use it to be the new label name.

so in the zon file "2:node - AmmoDamageInfo" has the parent ID 0x765548d9c98196cc

and in the dat file "node 203: 30mm_HE_shell" has its parent ID 0x765548d9c98196cc

so if they share the same parent ID and that means zon "2:node" is for the "30mm HE Shell"

so what i wanted to do was take the zone files "2:node" and give it the exact name i copied fron the dat files "node 203:" and name it like this:

2:node - 30mm_HE_shell

and when i do that the 3:node (child node) automatically becomes

3: !30mm_HE_shell ! - AmmoDamageInfo

i thought it was best if i was going to name things in the zon, it would be best to name them exactly the same way as they were named in the dat file so the game would recognize it. i dont know if my thinking that is correct or not.

hopefully that makes clear my question.

so is this something ok to do or could it cause problems.
