I'm pretty sure that's not true, the orbital attack ordinance and explosion is already there, and I mentioned it in the odf, so it should work....in theory. ("in theory" being the key phrase)

Edit: ARG! It still doesn't work!! I set the lifespan for 0.01 and stil nothing happens!!!

@ MajinRevan - would you be willing to share your orbital attack wisdom? (please?

)

Lemme see your ord file for the actual strike and your explosion file.

It's the one that came from the assets, but here you go:

all_weap_inf_orbital_attack_salvo_ord.odf:

[OrdnanceClass]
//This area defines the ordnances class and the effects associated with it.
ClassLabel = "bolt"

[Properties]
ExplosionName = "all_weap_inf_orbital_attack_salvo_exp"
LaserTexture = "com_sfx_laser_yellow"
//ImpactEffect = "com_sfx_explosion_sm"
LaserLength = "15.0"
LaserWidth = "0.75"
LaserGlowColor = "252 252 56 100 100"

//*RANGE* (Velocity * Lifespan = range)
//"LifeSpan" is the amount of time in seconds the ordnance will be in play
//"Velocity" is the speed at which the ordance travels in the direction fired
LifeSpan = "3.0"
Velocity = "300.0"
Gravity = "0.0"
Rebound = "0.0"

//*DAMAGE* (Damage * Soak = DamageDealt)
//"MaxDamage" is the unmodified amount of damage the ordnance can inflict.
//"AreaOfEffect" is the blast radius in meters from the center.
//"Soak", all three kinds, indicates the ordnances effectiveness against it's target
MaxDamage = "1000.0"

VehicleScale = "1.0"
PersonScale = "1.0"
DroidScale = "1.0"
BuildingScale = "1.0"
AnimalScale = "1.0"

OrdnanceSound = "com_weap_inf_ord_hum_lg"
CollisionSound = "imp_weap_ord_exp"

all_weap_inf_orbital_attack_salvo_exp.odf:

[ExplosionClass]
ClassLabel = "explosion"

[Properties]
WaterEffect = "com_sfx_watersplash_lg"

Damage = "500.0"
DamageRadiusInner = "10.5"
DamageRadiusOuter = "10.5"

Push = "10.0"
PushRadiusInner = "10.5"
PushRadiusOuter = "10.5"

Shake = "2.0"
ShakeLength = "1.0"
ShakeRadiusInner = "10.0"
ShakeRadiusOuter = "30.0"

Effect = "com_sfx_explosion_xl"

LightColor = "224 224 18 200"
LightRadius = "16.0"
LightDuration = "1.0"

VehicleScale = "1.0"
PersonScale = "1.0"
DroidScale = "1.0"
BuildingScale = "0.5"
AnimalScale = "1.0"

SoundProperty = "com_weap_obj_small_exp"

No errors anywhere BTW.

Hey Jango', which ordinance did you use for the orbital strike? Because I think the alliance one is incomplete/incorrect/has something wrong with it.
