I have been at this for several weeks now and after much trial and error, I have not been able to replicate a multi gfx ecm file.
My question is this: what other tags besides "CoGfxNum" in the ecm actually define multiple gfx files?
If need be, I can provide a sample of one of the ecm's that I'm working with.
KOS_void()
I apologize for the double post, but after a day and 36 views I must ask. Does anyone have any information regarding this?
To possibly help move this along, here is what I have currently in my ecm file:

But you have to change the size of the GFX too to match the new size
Ok, thank you very much EistigerQuote:

CoGFXNum does announce to the engine that there will be x amount of gfx files projecting from this model and I believe it is the only thing announcing to the engine as well.
Sorry for the late reply, but thank you all for your help. Both gfx files are now rendering in-game.
Here is the end result...

Thank you. It's actually a heavily modified bow that I've turned into "Data Drain".Quote:

The beam effect comes from the arrows that I modified and the bracelet is the bow.
There is one problem I am having though. When making a new arrow in the elements editor, there are two gfx files defined. These are the shot effects. In the first one, one of the first entries in the gfx file calls a model file. That model file is the arrow. I've removed this so that way only my beam effects are present. You can't tell from the screencaps, but as the character draws for each shot, you can see the original arrow, but then after it is fired, it disappears again. So far I haven't been able to figure out where that is coming from.
