heyhey!

I added a viper probe droid to my hoth map. I wanted it to explode when it dies so i tried those: (imp_droid_probe_exp exists)
but it doesn´t do it. so i looked in the droids odf but i found nothing special except of the thing that they have chunks. I gave the probedroid some numchunks but it still doesn´t explodes. Does anybody know how i could make it explode?

What does it do, just disappear? More information would be really helpful.

To make a unit explode, not only does it need an ExplosionName set (ExplosionDestruct is unnecessary, since units don't self-destruct like vehicles can), but it also needs chunksections. Numchunks (?) sounds like you put in the basic chunks you might add to a prop - for a unit you need chunksections set up: That's some of what you'll see in the cis_inf_default .odf; what I've always done if I want to assign an explosion to a unit is just give it invisible chunks and then the explosionname.

It just stays in the map and after a time it disappears.

Code: Select all

ChunkFrequency              = 0.6

CHUNKSECTION                = "CHUNK1"
ChunkGeometryName           = "bdroid_chunk1"
ChunkNodeName               = "bone_neck"
ChunkTerrainCollisions      = "4"
ChunkTerrainEffect          = "dirtspray"
ChunkTrailEffect            = "com_sfx_chunksmolder"
ChunkPhysics                = "FULL"
ChunkOmega                  = "4.0 4.0 4.0"
ChunkSpeed                  = 8.0

CHUNKSECTION                = "CHUNK2"
ChunkGeometryName           = "bdroid_chunk2"
ChunkNodeName               = "bone_l_upperarm"
ChunkTerrainCollisions      = "4"
ChunkTerrainEffect          = "dirtspray"
ChunkTrailEffect            = "com_sfx_chunksmolder"
ChunkPhysics                = "FULL"
ChunkOmega                  = "4.0 4.0 4.0"
ChunkSpeed                  = 8.0

That's some of what you'll see in the cis_inf_default .odf; what I've always done if I want to assign an explosion to a unit is just give it invisible chunks and then the explosionname.

How shall i make them invisible? Shall i remove the geometry name? Or did you make some invisble chunk models with xsi?

I've got some invisible chunks - I just added an alpha texture to the grenade model and scaled it way down.

thanks it works fine!

i released chunks for the probedroid!
and i would be glad if someone would use em
clik me!
