Every weapon in the game is assigned a damage type, which I believe are hardcoded. In DamageFX.ini damage types are linked to effects which are in FXlist.ini for each type of unit, (infantry, building, etc). I was wondering if it was possible for a weapon to have two damage types. I want to poison fields to have both the kill_pilot and poison damage types, for obvious reasons. I don't think I could add a new damage type that combined both of the above becuase I belive it is hardcoded, seeing this line of text in DamageFX.ini;

"Just so you know the choices available, here is part of Damage.h"

Try stacking the damage types on weapon the field itself uses to damage (look in the weapon.ini) I know his works for creating multiple ocl effects, might work for multiple damage fx as well.

I already tried this, dosn't work.

DamageType = Kill_Pilot RADIATION

The engine only picks the 1st damage type. I could fix the problem by having infantry take damage from Kill_pilot damage and changing the death animations. Since it only makes sense to kill the pilot once, I turned off the particle effects for the Pilot_kill and the buliding shutdown noise from FX_DamageDisableVehicle, becuase thats what pilot kill invokes. but every second it still makes an annoying clicking noise, even if I set everything to none, that noise will still be present.

Try this. make your weapon create two OCL objects, the first a radiation field, the second a kill_pilot field.

Make new ocl entries for a kill_pilot field, make a new kill-pilot field weapon

Should work. I need something similiar anyway, so I'll test it too. Grin.

Great Idea for solving the damage types. I'm ready to test it, but I'm not sure how to stack stuff in the OCL, I tried adding another entry under the 1st

ProjectileDetonationOCL = OCL_RadiationFieldMedium
ProjectileDetonationOCL = OCL_KPFieldMedium

But then the radiaton field dosn't show up or have any effect, so I'm not stacking them right =( The kill_pilot noise is still there, so It must be hard wired into the kill_pilot code (its not in DamageFX.ini) Any idea how to fix this?
