Title: [Answered] (OXCE) SmokeThreshold: not preventing smoke from appearing?
Post by: The Martian on November 04, 2019, 12:43:03 pm

When the weapon's projectile explodes it still produces smoke from the explosion even though I've set SmokeThreshold: to the high value of 99999.

Am I misunderstanding how SmokeThreshold: operates?

Does it not increase the tier of smoke on the struck tile by the number of times the weapon's impact power can be divided into the SmokeThreshold: value?

SmokeThreshold:    How much damage is needed to create smoke on a tile.

Here is the code I'm working with:

Looking on code I see that smoke can be generated when tile part is destroyed too. and it independent from "smokeable" of weapon.

Thank you that makes a lot of sense.

If a destroyed object also generates smoke then when an explosion occurs the smoke effects will be dynamically greater on a tile slot where a haybale was also destroyed versus one where only the dirt ground was damaged.

The complexity of X-Com continues to impress me.
