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.

[redsniper]

Or both. Random effects randomly rotated.
