Title: Request: Random impactexp
Post by: shiv on March 02, 2008, 04:00:00 pm

Hi,
i've got request and I guess it'd be easy and possible. I mean random $impact exp anim defineable in weapons.tbl.

I mean something like this

Code: [Select]

$Impact exp: exp04
$Impact exp radius: 20.2
$Impact exp2: exp05
$Impact exp2 radius: 20.2
$Impact exp3: exp06
$Impact exp3 radius: 20.2
Impact explosions would be randomly selected by game engine.

If we had a lot of different, say, missile impacts this would add a little bit to realism. If I fire 4 hornets at a ship, each explodes a bit differently.

Not sure what your use/reason for requesting it is, but that's my two cents.

Or when a slash beam slashes across a ship, it would be nice to have some variation in the explosions.

Technically you already can make impact explosions (for non-beam weapons) to have alternating effects... If you want to try Lua scripting.

Though i would be quite happy from an ability to rotate the animations (though only when needed) so that they wouldn't always appear in the perfectly same manner.

Or both. Random effects randomly rotated.
