Disintegration effect?

[AssumedPseudonym]

 Is there a way to destroy an object using the disintegration effect via tLISP without getting into virtual weapons and sysCreateWeaponFire?

You mean when the ship splits into pixels and stuff
You can use ObjDestroy with the objSource argument enabled to do that.
try:
(objDestroy [spaceobject reference here] gPlayership)

 No, I can do that, I mean the effect caused by the quantumsphere disintegrator.

You probably want to call (objDamage obj weaponType objSource [pos]) within an event, where weaponType is a custom weapon that does generic damage and disintegration.

 Yes and no. On the one hand, assuming it works as planned, it will be perfect for one thing I had been wanting to do, but disintegration via weapon effect only works on ships. I need something I can cause a weapon effect on a station with. …Actually, wait. Wait, I think have an idea for that. Throw an objDestroy on the station to just outright get rid of it, create a dummy ship using the station’s graphic at that location, give it something in <OnCreate>… It’s an ugly workaround, but it is a workaround that just might… well… work.
 Also, thank you for pointing me at that function. I was needing it for something else completely unrelated and knew I had seen it before, but I could not for the life of me figure out which function it was.

so, you want a station that can explode with disintegration effect when destroyed ?

- Make a ship like the CSC, which is basically a hybrid station/ship.
- In OnDestroy, call for a disintegration explosion using a sysCreateWeaponFire that destroys the wreck.
