Flamethrower range

Post by PsYcH0_]-[aMsT3r »

Ive looked around a bit and not found anything on this. Im trying to make a flamethrower fire further but dont know how. the lines MaxRange and ConeLength dont do anything so i need help. I saw this done in Battle Of the Titans so i know its possible.

i am pretty sure this is in the flamethrower odf. its either in common odfs or imp odfs. but i think what you do is change the "PitchSpread" to something higher to make it go out further. i am not sure, this just seemed to work for me. also, in some odfs there is a line that says "laserlength" which is quite self-explanatory. regardless, i know its in the flamethrower odf, so start looking around in there.

Max range makes it longer. It just doesnt become longer. If you double the range, then you can get enemies twice as far away.

By PitchSpread i guess to mean ConeAngle. Wait a sec! You just gave me a idea. If it works ill tell you all :P.

Grev - I found that out but i need to know how to make the flames go further cus it looks rubbish otherwise.

I think you can't.. Is it just me, or are the flames an .fx file which is as it is? This means editing that.. I might be wrong though :? Effects are the only thing difficult for me atm :P
