The title says it all. I made a custom explosion effect. Works great! most of the time...The problem is sometimes it shows the effect, sometimes it doesnt. Sometimes it shows it when im close, sometimes when im far away from it. How do I make the custom effect (edited stock effect) remain constantly visible when it goes off? thanks!

okay, it works regardless of distance, but how do I make it always use that effect? it uses the stock effect sometime but most of the time mine.

What is it? A grenade explosion? I know those stack explosion effects instead of overriding them, and randomly select one from the stack each time.

If youre effect count is to high than it uses the stock one.
U can fix this by deleting the stock effects from youre data_abc/...
and then clean common and youre world

yes, it is a grenade effect. How would I make it override the stock effect? Also, I just edited colour and added a shock wave thing from the time bomb.

If your grenade's _exp ODF uses com_weap_inf_thermaldetonator_exp.ODF as ClassParent, go to data_***/sides/common/odf, copy the com_weap_inf_thermaldetonator_exp.ODF, rename the copy, remove the line
and use it as ClassParent for your grenade's _exp ODF.

In short, make somehow sure the Class parent doesn't use an effect.

agh, thanks!

EDIT: WORKS! it worked perfectly. many thanks!
