Making a burst missile

[Autohummer]

As topic, I am attempting to create what is called a "burst missile". It is a missile which, upon detonation, creates a large shockwave that does high damage to whatever caught in its radius. I am trying to implement this through the following code, but to no avail:

Code: Select all

				<Missile ammoID="&itLRBM5;"
						type=			"missile"
						damage=			"generic:1; momentum6; WMD7"
						missileSpeed=	"30"
						hitPoints=		"70"
						lifetime=		"1000"

						maneuverability="2"
						autoacquiretarget=                "true"
						directional=	"true"
						sound=			"&snmissile1;"
						vaporTrailLength="16"
						vaporTrailWidth="110"
						vaporTrailWidthInc="5"
						vaporTrailColor="0xd0, 0xd0, 0xd0"
						>

					<Effect>
						<Image imageID="&rsStdMissile1;" imageX="0" imageY="0" imageWidth="32" imageHeight="32" rotationCount="40"/>
					</Effect>						

					<HitEffect
							sound="&snexplode8;"
							>
						<Image imageID="&rsExplosionsAG128;"
								imageX="0"
								imageY="0"
								imageWidth="128"
								imageHeight="128"
								imageFrameCount="16"
								imageTicksPerFrame="2"/>
					</HitEffect>

					<Fragment 
							type=				"area"
							damage=				"generic:50"
							expansionSpeed=		"30"
							missileSpeed=		"0"
							lifetime=			"100"
							>

						<Effect>
						<Shockwave
							style=			"glowRing"
							width=			"20"
							glowSize=		"12"
							primaryColor=	"0xff, 0xff, 0xff"
							secondaryColor=	"0xff, 0x00, 0xff"
						/>
						</Effect>
					</Fragment>

				</Missile>

The missile fires and hits, but it appears that no fragment is produced. Is there a mistake in coding or is there another way to implement this effect?

Try this. I worked backward from the Ares Micronuke here.

Code: Select all

<Itemtype UNID="&itLRBM5;"
		name=				"MRBM5"
		level=				"4"
		value=				"350"
		mass=				"20"
		attributes=			"Commonwealth"
		frequency=			"common"
		numberAppearing=	"12d20"
		
		description=		"The compact warheads detonate into an expanding shockwave of thermonuclear damage. They require a launcher."
