Blast radius calculations in OXCE
« on: November 18, 2023, 01:34:45 am »
I would like to start using dynamic radius more widely in a mod that I am working on.  I would like to inquire, how is the dynamic blast radius calculated as a function of damage power?  Would it be possible to post a table of this somewhere on the wiki?  The table is going to be much more useful than a direct formula.

The forum search reveals little w.r.t. this issue.

Best is simply show code how its done:
Code: [Select]

int radius = 0;

if (_damageType.FixRadius == -1)
{
radius = getPowerBonus(attack) * _damageType.RadiusEffectiveness;
if (_damageType.FireBlastCalc)
{
radius += 1;
}
// cap the formula to 11
if (radius > 11)
{
radius = 11;
}
if (radius <= 0)
{
radius = 1;
}
}
else
{
// unless a blast radius is actually defined.
radius = _damageType.FixRadius;
}

return radius;

}
}
else
{
// unless a blast radius is actually defined.
radius = _damageType.FixRadius;
}

return radius;


So, basically, setting up a FixRadius to 19 results in the largest possible blast radius in the game?

Sometimes, the animations (e.g. with Mummy Matriarchs) gives me an impression that the blast radius is much larger than mere 11 cells.

Yes, if you set fixed you probably can make explosion on whole map, some XPZ weapons do this.
If it use calculated radius then it caped on 11, check rulesets what case this weapon use.

Thank you for clarifying this.

I'm curious, if it is indeed possible to have a blast that covers the entire map?  Also, is it possible to have the blast go through walls freely?  The scenario I'm thinking about is e.g. a badass mummy matriarch creating an ultra-powerful blast.
