Title: [Answered] (OXCE) Incendary shotgunPellets: only firing 1 projectile?
Post by: The Martian on September 07, 2019, 07:24:40 pm

Something isn't working as I was expecting.

In the past using OpenXcom this code produced a Shotgun spread of 10 pellets each one creating a radius 1 incendary explosion.

Now that I'm using OXCE only a single bullet/explosion is occurring, rendering this ammo at 1/10 its expected firepower and thus useless.

I don't think I've altered the code so I'm unsure why it is producing different results.

Does OXCE handle shotgunPellets: based Incendary ammo differently?

Yes, explosive shotgun pellets are currently disabled in OXCE.

That is unfortunate.

Any word on when they will be making a return?

Don't know, that's a question for Yankes.

I may have found a way to work around it.

If you set blastRadius: 0 on the ammo instead of blastRadius: 1 it seems to function just like in normal OpenXcom .

Is there a reason I should be cautious using this method, why was explosive shotgun pellets disabled in OXCE?
