[Not a bug] Splash Damage problem!

When I set the splash damage for the rockets so that I am immune, the barrel damage effect also changes.

Sorry, that's splash damage for everything you're changing, not just the rocket.

You should make it so that you can change all the splash damage seperately, even assign splash damage to other projectiles, such as a plasma bullet.

Can't you already do that with the DEH "Missile Damage = X" tag?

[CODEPTR]
Frame 109 = Explode

Simple as that.
[quote="wildweasel]Can't you already do that with the DEH "Missile Damage = X" tag?[/quote]No, that's how much damage a direct hit does. For example, the plasma bullet does a minimum of 5 damage, and will also do any multiples of 5 until 5x7.

I AM SO STUPID!!!

I've been editing dehacked patches for a long time, and I should have known about the code pointer thing!!! My brain is seriously messed up today...

I also remembered a sweet thing i've done with the "explode" code pointer. If you set the code pointer of one of the frames of the plasma bullet as its flying through the air to the "explode" code pointer, ie.

Code: Select all

[CODEPTR] 
Frame 107 = Explode

then it will burn any bad guys (or yourself) that gets close enough for the bullet! This has some pretty cool effects, for example, of you're confronted by a huge group of chaingunners, shoot one shot over their heads and they will all be burnt to a crisp!!!

[FUTURE EDIT] Haha! I posted in this thread as a guest!

You'll love the "rip" bit then. Try adding this to your plasma bullet hack. You may want to alter the damage the bullet does down a little.

Thing 35 (Plasma Bullet)
Bits = Rip +PCROSS +IMPACT +NOTELEPORT

OMFG!!!

The plasma bullets go right through baddies!!!

Thanks LOTS, Enjay!!!

This is going to make my new weapons patch a little more interesting...

Heh, good luck on that :-)

/me looks at improved title

My gosh, Duck. You now have a title that makes sense! All Hail Enjay, Master of everything Doom! At least in my opinion.

[FUTURE-EDIT] His 'current' title makes sense too, oddly enough.

Not to mention the railgun is the most accurate one.
