Would someone be able to explain exactly what each of the engine wash lines actually do?

$Name: Default
$Angle: 10.0
$Radius Mult: 1.2
$Length: 400
$Intensity:   1.0

you can add different enginwash charactoristics for different ships. engine wash affects ship damage but not actuall engine thrust effects. if you have a big ship with a bigger engine you could add new ones. if ya want more damage from them then up the intensity.

I was talking more about the what the $Angle and $Radius Mult actually do as i cant see to work that one out.

[FireCrack]

angle is probably the angle of the cone of engine damage, radius mult i have no idea, probably a multiplier of radius to act on engine wash without affecting glow size

^all guesses

[Nuke]

they dont have anything to do with glow effects, those are specified in the pofs (new style engine glows i dont have a clue where they are defined). id asume $Radius Mult: 1.2 affects damage falloff. but thats just a guess

Complete guess, but;

Angle; radius of the wash 'cone' outwards (ala fov on turrets, etc)
Radius mult; how much the radius increases each m(?) outwards, multiplication factor.   Or possibly using the glow size from the pof to calculate a logical inital size of the wash cone (i.e. so it's not just radiating out from a sharp point but a flattened cone)
Length; obvious
Intensity; probably affects the camera 'shake' when in a wash

Thankyou all for your help, I should be able to get it right now.

geez the worst engine wash is from that ship in Sol A History Tereus i thnk it was called? Thing would boucne you around forever
