Special Explosion
on: August 23, 2007, 11:01:22 am
I need explosions that damage other ships for several missions ... but the problem is.. I tried using the feature to make a carrier explosion powerful enough to destroy a nearby cruiser in a WC Saga testmission.

It worked.. but the ship takes forever to finally go up. The cascading explosions along the hull go on for like 2 and a half minutes before the ship finally disintegrates..

Don't tell me.. the explosion time is linked to the explosion damage? well.. I'd really like 50,000 damage points and still only the standard 10 seconds of cascading explosions   

Does anyone have any information on this? Because like this special explosion is pretty useless.. to let a ship explosion destroy a nearby ship totally .. those damage points would make the explosion take 30 minutes to finally happen  :D

disbale the default shockwave of the carriers explosion, ship-guardian it earlier in the mission and set up an event like this:

carrier down
- when
--<
---hits-left
----Carrier
---2
--ship-no-guardian
---Carrier
--explosion-effect
---get-object-x
----Carrier
---get-object-y
----Carrier
---get-object-z
----Carrier
---[damage]
---[blast force]
---[size of explosion]
---[inner radius]
---[outer radius]
---[shockwave speed]
---[explosion type]
---[explosion sound]

NAh, Snail.. Your way would work and it's easier to implement... The carrier would blow up immediately  :D

Ok, these are the workaround solutions.. any way to use the original feature in this manner or is it broke?

Try setting ship-vaporize for the ship. Might make it blow up quicker, but no guarentees.

it is not broken... it appearently was not changed since Jugs never exploded instantly either

I've also tried to make a Meson Bomb explode and having it propagate forever...
