[Solved] Controlling the speed of an explosion animation set from the X1.PCK.

[The Martian]

I'm trying to increase the speed that a weapon that uses a X1.PCK explosion animation can fire at, but at the moment the long animation has to finish playing before the next projectile can be fired.

Is there a way to increase/decrease the speed that an explosion's animation plays at?

I've tried using the explosionSpeed: variable on both the weapon and the ammo items, but so far I haven't noticed an increase or reduction in the animations speed.

Is explosionSpeed: only for bullet impacts and a different command is used specifically for X1.PCK based explosion animations?

No.

Yes. No.

That's disappointing.

On the plus side just being able to use custom explosion images is pretty fun.

I have an additional question:
Is there a method to control the size of the radius the explosion images occupy independent of the power: variable's value?

For example the effect in the attached screenshot is covering a large section of the screen, but the area being damaged is actually only blastRadius: 2.

This will be possible in some time, right now I moved explosion calculation before animation. With this I could even spawn animations on positions where explosion affected.

I can see that being very useful for players trying to visually keep track of how many times a weapon like the flamethrower's auto-shot has struck the same tile.

OXCE keeps getting better.

Thank you both for your work.

Since OXCE 6.1, explosionSpeed can be used for both.

Also, long chain terrain explosions will be sped up to maximum speed after 6 consecutive explosions.

Thank you I'll update my copy of OXCE and make use of that feature.
