Mounting objects to Mounted objects

#1 *BUMP*

#2 *BUMP*
I'm trying to mount a clip onto a gun.

In my AssaultRifle.cs I added:

datablock StaticShapeData(AssaultRifleMountClip)
{
   category = "StaticShapes";
   shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/AssaultRifle/ammo.dts";
};

And in my function AssaultRifleImage::ReloadAmmoClip I added:

// Mount the Clip to the Weapon
   %clip = new StaticShape()
    {
       dataBlock = AssaultRifleMountClip;
    };

    //%clip.setHidden(true);
    %this.mountObject(%clip, 1);
    MissionCleanup.add(%clip);

The error I get is:

starter.fps/server/scripts/AssaultRifle.cs (1033): Unknown command mountObject.
  Object AssaultRifleImage(739) AssaultRifleImage -> WeaponImage -> ShapeBaseImageData -> GameBaseData -> SimDataBlock -> SimObject

I'm guessing the AssaultRifleImage (ie. WeaponImage) doesn't have mount points?
Any help?

#3 ShapeBase::mountObject() only works when called from a ShapeBase object on a ShapeBaseImage object. Check out the engine/game/shapebase.cc and engine/game/shapeimage.cc to see what I mean. I don't know enough about C++ but would it be possible to implement the mountObject() function in the ShapeBaseImage namespace?

Also, there is a mountImage() function, is that what you need? (I've never tried any of this.)

#4 MountImage() isn't working either.
Starting to dig into the C++ code...

#5 This might be more than what's needed for this problem but I though I should mention Anthony Lovell's
Attachable SceneObjects in Hierarchical Coordinate Spaces.
