Title: [DONE][Suggestion] Self-destruct can spawn items and units
Post by: Nord on October 13, 2023, 08:09:08 pm

Is it possible to allow "corpseBattle" items of non 11 type?
 It will be useful first for units that spawn someone on death.

No, this is enforced because lot of logic is linked to item type and lot of recovery logic break when its changed.

Oh, ok. How about scripted explosion of corpses with "power"? Is it posible maybe? Without "specab".

side question, this is related to globe corpse "specab" problem? if yes then I discussed this problem with SupSuper and we come to conclusion that we will fix it,
current solution will be new property `selfDestructItem:` that will override globe corpse item when used for self destruct.

for scripts itself, currency you can force self destruct using script hook `damageSpecialUnit` and one of parameters control "explosiveness" of given unit.

No, it is not related. As about `damageSpecialUnit` - it is a great opportunity, thank you very much. Going to try. :)

Ok, i have discovered that i have encountered this problem earlier here (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,6535.msg152166.html#msg152166).
I want to create resurrecting enemy unit, but exploding corpse can not spawn new unit.
Only way i found - is to add special item to the unit inventory, which will fall and detonate. But it is ugly and causes many odd situations ingame.
Best decision (for modders) will be support of spawning units not only from grenades, but from corpses too.
I see no script possibilities to spawn new unit from corpse, so maybe it will stay as it is now.

OXCE 7.9.15 now self destruct can spawn items and units, and you can define what items type is used for this by `selfDestructItem:` in armor.
