Is there any way to place multiple detpacks and detonate them all at once? SalvoCount possibly?

should be possible, ive seeen this in bf1 so it should be possible in bf2, but i dont know how to do it. LUA coding perhaps?

MaxItems = "4.0"

Add that to the Dispenser ODF, it sets the maximum amount that can be placed at a time. Goin over the limit auto-kills the oldest placed item.

Used for Detonators, Auto-Turrets, Health/Ammo, Mine and any other Dispenser Class weapon.

somewhat Off-topic: So do you mean that you can place a certain number, then when it's reached, it can be detonated, or you can place however many you want that can be detonated after however many? Cuz if it's the latter, I had that thought a few minutes ago XD

Don't think first one's possible (tried it before, maybe I screwed up thugh). As for second one I'm 90% sure it's possible as a pair of very simple lua weapons (but AI Won't use it and it must be given to heroes/characters in RPGs rather than normal units)

MaxItems = "1.0" - Only 1 maximum detpack on the the field, if you put a second one down, it auto kills the first one without detonating it.


TriggerAll = "1" - Boolean Operation (0/1 value) use 1 to detonate all placed charges at once, or use 0 to detonate 1 after the other.

Sweet! So how would I make it lay multiple, other than to do SalvoCount? I want to be able to lay several separately, and then detonate them.

Tried that, it automatically switches to the "detonate" made after the first one.

Perhaps this will be useful.

so i just have to add the lines
SwitchImmediately = "0"
MaxItems ="2"
TriggerAll = "1"
if i want to have two detpacks placed and detonated at the same time, right?
which odf do i have to add it?

i added those lines to the com_weap_inf_detpack file and nothing changed.
btw, what is that RefillFromItem = "0" line anyways?

RefillFromItem = "0" Boolean Operation (1/0) 1 to allow Refill (default setting if this line is removed or commented out), 0 to disallow refill and enable Ammo Droid refill only.

As a side note, the MaxItems and Trigger all commands have always worked for me.

If have

MaxItems = "5.0" I'm allowed to place a maximum of 5 detapacks/mines etc.
TriggerAll = "1" Only works for Detonator Class weapons, sets all placed Detpacks to trigger at once.

i definitely do add those lines to the com_weap_inf_detpack.odf file, don't i?

This is relevant to my interests, I want to make multiple detpacks as well, tried those lines already, either in dispenser and ordnance, nothing changes, it switches to detonator mode after the first pack.

I wonder if there is any other way, or at least making the remote detonator as a separate weapon so you can trigger from 1 to 4 detpacks.

OrdnanceName: object type to create
Velocity: ejection speed

MaxPressedTime: charge-up time
MinStrength: velocity scale at minimum charge
MaxStrength: velocity scale at maximum charge
SwitchImmediately: 0 = require L1 press to enter remote, 1 = enter remote immediately on launch

That's the less isolated version, straight out of Psych0fred's docs. I believe, going by how this part of the doc was formatted, that the classlabel has to be "remote" rather than "detonator".

I tried it with:
classLabel= remote
SwitchImmediately = 0
MaxItems = "3.0"
The effect was that I'm able to place a detpack without swapping to trigger mode after placing it, but i'm neither able to place a second one nor to switch to the triggermode by hitting any key. What does "push L1" mean? It also doesn't work with classlabel=detonator.

dito
btw there is no com_..._dispenser.odf and even when i create one and add the respective lines to it there are no changes ingame.
i hope i didn't just miss a "=" or something...
