Fragmenting teh Fragmentzor

Fragmenting Fragments.

Heres the code, now where do I put the secondary Fragment in? I want the fragments to fragment you know? of course I'll lower the life-time... i'll tell you what I'm thinking later.

Code: Select all

<!-- Explosive Recoilless Cannon -->

	<ItemType UNID="&itExpRecoillessCannon;"
			name=				"Explosive recoilless cannon"
			level=				"5"
			value=				"5000"
			mass=				"3500"
			frequency=			"uncommon"
			modifiers=			"MajorItem"
			showReference=		"true"

			description=		"Each shard of this custom recoilless cannon has a small hexagene charge in it. It's less powerful than a real blast weapon, but cheaper."
			>

		<Image imageID="&rsItems1;" imageX="96" imageY="0" imageWidth="96" imageHeight="96"/>

		<Weapon
				type=				"missile"

				damage=				"kinetic:1d6+1; momentum1"
				fireRate=			"15"
				missileSpeed=		"40"
				lifetime=			"60"
				powerUse=			"150"
				fireEffect=			"&efMediumCannonFlash;"
				recoil=			"2"

				sound=				"&snRecoillessCannon;"
				>
<Fragment
							count=			"6d12"
							type=			"missile"
							lifetime=		"8"
							damage=			"blast:1d6+2; WMD3"
							missileSpeed=	"10-60"
							>
						<Image imageID="&rsMissiles;" imageX="3" imageY="0" imageWidth="16" imageHeight="16" imageFrameCount="0" imageTicksPerFrame="0"/>
					</Fragment>

			<Effect>
				<Image imageID="&rsMissiles;" imageX="0" imageY="0" imageWidth="16" imageHeight="16" imageFrameCount="0" imageTicksPerFrame="0"/>
			</Effect>


							
		</Weapon>

	</ItemType>

btw, this is part of DigDug's weapon mod pack (First one)

take your new <fragment> and put it after the </effects> in the existing fragment, here's an example made with the Kytern

Code: Select all

	<!-- Kytryn Launcher -->

	<ItemType UNID="&itkitten;"
			name=				"Kytryn launcher"
			level=				"10"
			value=				"350000"
			mass=				"5000"
			frequency=			"uncommon"
			modifiers=			"Alien; MajorItem; Military"
			unknownType=		"&itUnknownAlienDevice10;"

			description=		"This alien weapon launches a Kytryn plasma pod warhead, which blossoms into a shell of plasma energy."

		<Weapon
				fireRate=			"40"
				powerUse=			"200"
				launcher=			"true"

			<Missiles>
				<Missile 
						type=			"missile"

How would i get it all to explode at the end of each projectiles lifetime?

[Bobby]

How would i get it all to explode at the end of each projectiles lifetime?

the missile will explode when it's lifetime is over, the fragments will do the same, and then those fragments.

in short they do already, unless there's an error, or i don't understand the question

i meant explode as in a shockwave. it would explode into a shockwave if it doesn't hit anything.

[OddBob]

You may not have a different effect for an end of lifetime explosion than a regular explosion.

EDIT: You can in a way - set a failsafe on the weapon just barely shorter than the lifetime and it will then only detonate at the end of it's lifetime.

[Charon Mass of Goo]

Lets just pretend here for a second that I didn't know how to do that, and i would ask you how i could do that. What would your response be? (Yes, i'm a total idiot.)

[Charon Mass of Goo]

Well, my weapons are finished. They are only beta, I'm balancing them out tons.

I uploaded them to Xelarus.

[george moromisato]

One of your fragments has damage of type "energy:1d4+2; ..."

"energy" is not a valid damage type. That could be the problem.

[Charon Mass of Goo]

Oh, and answered by the king himself! Thanks george, I'll put ion instead...

Btw george, everyone in the IRC channel wants you in there

Betel said you would be chased out easily...

[Charon Mass of Goo]

the fragments won't explode into the EMP shockwave effect I won't, hell, they aren't even exploding, they just dissapear at the end of their lifetime.

I uploaded the code to Pastebin, can some one help me out?

here is the link: http://pastebin.ca/856710[/url]

First of all, your UNIDs need to be different, right now they both are the same number.

Second of all the fragment bit was laid out wrong, the two fragments were one after the other instead of nested.

Thirdly, shockwaves need an expansion speed.

Also the graphic for the intermediate projectile is not aligned correctly. (I didn't do anythign about that)

thanks. That helped alot, and I already have my UNID problem fixed. that wasn't the issue really.
