[Help] Shockwave Weapon

[kjc733]

Ok, so it dawned on me the other day that my hiatus on the BSG half race mod had extended a bit, and I thought I should probably do something about that. So, baby steps (as I still have work to do on the house and garden this summer), here's a problem that bugged me for weeks, and I think it's time to throw it out to the wider world.

The Klingon shockwave weapon is directional, I'm trying to get it so that it acts as a 360 shockwave like a sensor jammer detonation. I've taken examples from filefront, but I still can't figure out how to alter it. I spent weeks on this problem on and off (as one or two people should already know - no teasers please, you know who you are!).

So if anybody can tell me how to modify the stock shockwave odf so that it does a 360 effect it'd be much appreciated.

Not sure you can. Have you tried adding the repultion coding to somthing like an artilery torp?

Uch. I know how that feels. I'm waaay too tired to look it up, but I know that Achilles did exactly that in AoW. Will take a look tomorrow and let you know.

Thanks for that. AoW is actually one of the mods I don't have (and why not?? I ask myself!!)

A good idea, and one I hadn't actually considered. Unfortunately the overall problem is larger than just this, and I suspent that the self-destruct would be harder to impliment whereas I know the shockwave weapon will work.

Hmmmmm....... i tried it out yesterday..... all you really have to do is increase the damage to a bajillion more than it is........ Decimates everything in the area. You just don't get the map marker and the verbal warning...... hehehe
(Insert Malevolent Purpose Here)

and about the overall problem..... what Specifficly are you using the weapon for? if you don't mind me asking.

It's a new take on an old problem. I don't want to say in case it doesn't work out the way I hope. But as I said, I know it will work with the shockwave weapon (all I need is it to be 360), but I'm now curious to see if it could work with the self-destruct.

Well, whatever your solution... i sure hope your problems are in the past.. and i will be on the lookout for rouge modders with awesome shockwave weapons.
