help with a new weapon

kano · 06-07-2003, 05:00 PM

i guys i'm having trouble with a new weapon i'm making. I copied the inferno cannons weapon and renamed it and got it working. I then tried to modify it to change the incendiary attack with a normal explosive one - i.e. no firestorm after the attack.

The weapons fires ok and looks like its exploding properly but it does no damage. I'm not too sure on how the firestorm is created and think i might have commented out something important but i've tried many combinations and cant work it out.

Can anyone spot a problem with this code?

Thanks for the help.
