Title: Need help with some new ship.tbl "debris" features
Post by: Starman01 on August 16, 2009, 03:53:19 pm

I'm doing some experiments right now, and I need some help to set up the debris.
The model has only ONE debris piece. The Idea is to create one large debris chunk, that actually must survive the explosion and will NOT rotate or float away

I checked the wiki, and inserted what I found in the table. But I'm missing a value to set the debris hitpoint (to avoid getting it destroyed by the explosion blast). Though there is no entry in the wiki for that, I remember someone telling me it should now be possible.  (btw, before anyone suggest it instead : I don't want to remove the ships "explosion blast" :) )

Here is my current code entry for the ships.tbl

Code: [Select]

$Show damage:                 NO
$Debris:
    +Min Lifetime:  120
    +Max Lifetime:  180
    +Min Speed: 0
    +Max Speed: 0
    +Min Rotation speed: 0
    +Max Rotation speed: 0

$Density:                     1


1) Is it placed correctly between "$Show Damage" and "$Density"

2) Is it necessary to set the "+MinSpeed" when I don't want to move it ?

3) Same for "+Min rotation speed"

4) Anyone knows about the hitpoint stuff I mentioned above ?

Thanks for the help :)

(edit) Obviously the position is pretty wrong, 3.6.11 is throwing a lot of table errors at me :(

1. Yes... it seems to be in a proper place

2. No

3. No

4. Code to allow debris hitpoints to be set has not yet been committed.


If you have errors could you please describe what kind of errors are you getting?

You want a starlancer style hulk? That'd be frickin sweet!

Yes, that will create debris in the Starlancer or (guess what ? :) )  WingCommander Style.

Are you 100% sure that you no instances of Debris: instead of $Debris:?

Doooh !  :doubt:   

I'm such an idiot. After I posted the code in the first post I must have edited again and deleted the "$". Sorry :)
