So, I was working on some dumb weapon for my dumb weapons mod, and I wanted a cool effect... I chose the Gate In/Gate Out effects for it... And, well, it looked great, sounded great, but it overall was CRAP.

Heres what I intended: A weapon that would have a One Hit, One Kill effect that would obliterate ANY traces that the target even existed, but using a gate in/out effect/image. It would be like a Save for an Occasion kind of weapon, only with unlimited (albeit you'd probably get to use it... a max of five times throughout the 0.98d plot if you used it as soon as you leave eridani)

The problems being were: it (of course) left those little debris things you get when you blow something up. I hate those little particles.

I was just wondering if there was a possible way for

WARNING! THE FOLLOWING TEXT CONTAINS CONCEPT CRAP: The following text contains stuff that you will most likely find to be stupid, a bad idea, and downright retarded. If you find that you have nothing positive to say, and possibly have a problem to me being alive, the complaint department is 300 miles below the earth's crust and not in this thread. Thank you.


Ok. Now as I was saying. I was wondering if it was possible to create a hitEffect or an OnHit event for a weapon that "Gates Out" or just deletes what it impacts (Exception being planets, suns blah blah blah) so that it doesn't leave those frigging little particle crap things. Those things are heavy on the CPU usage...

Now, I know what you are thinking: "God Weapon alert" but I assure you it would have it's draw backs (Such as a charge time (Use a capacitator bar thing to let you know when it's done charging?)). Besides, it will be created no matter what kind of crap you give me.

have you tried adding "disintegration3" to the damage modifiers?

Try 9 instead of 3, because 3 might not destroy stations.
