[HELP] "blastRadius" and low values ?

[Ascadix]

Hi,

I'm trying to make some explosive bullet and i have a problem with "blastRadius".

Since it's only bullet and not bombshell nor missile/rocket, i want to have a very low radius of explosion, idealy, juste a little explosion on the target.

  But ...

With "blastRadius: 1" , i have an explosion like those of the autocanon, spreading few squares. 

With "blastRadius: 0", i have a little flash on the target, juste what i want, but damage seems to drop to 0. 


Is there a way to have little explosion, restricted to the impacted square, but a damage value not null ?

Thanks

From my observations, High Explosive damage seems to do nothing when you reduce the blast radius to 0.

It's my problem.

With "1", the explosion blast over  3*3 squares (too big for a simple EP bullet)

With 0, the explosion graphics is limited to 1 square (good), but damage drop to 0 (bad)

SO ..Actualy it seems that we can't have an EP with damage limited to the impact square ?


Help, Warboy and other super-dev, could you do something for this ??

Actually, it appears to be a bug (or a feature?  ).

If you set blast radius at all, it only does damage if the damage type is high explosive.  Any other damage type using blast radius gives visual effect, but does no damage, and does not scorch tiles.  I was noticing this with a mod I was working on yesterday.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as evenly-expanding explosion on a tiled map goes, there is no middle ground between 3x3 and 1x1, so what exactly do you want? If you don't want the blast, just change the damage type to something else.

@BlackLibrary:
Except Stun damage, of course. Blast works for it.

A one square explosion is fine..(Its flavor)...its just does no damage.  I think his issue is that it ignores the power (damage) if not HE (or stun, as you mentioned).

Hello,

What i try to do is a weapon that make "explosive damage" to the target ( damageType: 3)

but since it's designed to be juste a simple explosive bullet, i don't want:
- have a big explosion graphic that cover more than one square
- damage surrounding unit, so the radius must be limited to the impact square.

With "blastRadius: 0", the visual effect is ok, but target take no damage at all.

high explosive and incendiary bullets were set to hit 2 voxels behind the impact. this has been fixed to check for weapons with a blast radius instead.

[BlackLibrary]

Cool.  Hope that fixes damage as well.  I'll test and check.

After some testing,

Ok for the damages, but with blastRadius: 0   , the hit animation and sounds seems to be more a little "incendiary hit" than an "explosive hit".


Is it possible to use custom hit sprites and sounds with a damage type HE ?
