First post, please don't kill me too quick.

I want to, for my own personal amusement, have the Chinese NuleCannon for Generals fire a shell which explodes much like the Convoy Truck Nuke explosion. I tried editing the NukeCannonShell object to have a death weapon lifted from the convoy truck nuke in CivilianUnit.ini. I replaced this:

Behavior = DestroyDie ModuleTag_03
;nothing
End

with this:

Behavior = DestroyDie ModuleTag_03
DeathTypes = NONE +SUICIDED
DestructionDelay = 1500
OCL = FINAL OCL_GenericCarExplode
Weapon = FINAL DirtyNukeCreationWeapon
End

but of course I hit 'serious errors'.

Anyone want to help me with this?

Thanks.

Im afraid you taking the wrong approach, first of all the nuke convoy's weapon is CINEConvoyNuke and second the nuke cannon's weapon explosion is the nuke cannon weapon itself, not in the projectile.

what you need is....i think


for the nuke cannon in weapon.ini, put something like this in:

PrimaryDamage = 800.0
PrimaryDamageRadius = 100.0
SecondaryDamage = 20.0
SecondaryDamageRadius = 60.0
ScatterRadiusVsInfantry = 30.0 ;When this weapon is used against infantry, it can randomly miss by as much as this distance.
AttackRange = 250.0
MinimumAttackRange = 200.0
DamageType = EXPLOSION
DeathType = EXPLODED
WeaponSpeed = 200 ; dist/sec
ProjectileObject = NukeCannonShell
FireFX = WeaponFX_CINEConvoyNuke
FireSound = NukeCannonWeapon
VeterancyFireFX = HEROIC WeaponFX_HeroicNukeCannonMuzzleFlash
ProjectileDetonationFX = WeaponFX_NukeCannon
ProjectileDetonationOCL = OCL_RadiationFieldMedium
RadiusDamageAffects = SUICIDE SELF ALLIES ENEMIES NEUTRALS NOT_SIMILAR
DelayBetweenShots = 100 ; time between shots, msec
ClipSize = 8 ; how many shots in a Clip (0 == infinite)
ClipReloadTime = 9000 ; how long to reload a Clip, msec
End

Thanks for the replies. What I did was change the ProjectileDetonationOCL to OCL_DirtyNuke. Then, when the shell explodes I get the required effect. Thanks guys.

[SmokeyDaBear]

yea...that is all you need...an ocl and fx to describe the nuke wave...no problemo...

Actually, he wants the radiation to do damage too, disregaurd my posts on Gamming forums, look at the Nuclear missile, it has a special module for the big nuke and working radiation.

  End

The weapon that has the shell you attach this to only needs to do 0.0001 damage and then this will cause the detonation and the damage, along with the perfectly working radiation field.

This would be the easiest, but seeing as he got it working, the way he did it is fine too.

[SmokeyDaBear]

well...if he add a radiation ocl the weapon...should that do it?

[Vanguard]

Yeah, I just find it easier to add the module.

[SmokeyDaBear]

oh...ok
