Parabomb Problem

Seafox · 07-20-2003, 02:37 PM

I'm adding a Parabomb weapon into my mod, but I've come across a rather odd problem. Sometimes when the parabombs hit ground, they won't die but will just keep exploding. Here's the coding on them...

[BOMB]
UIName=Name:Bomb

[BombExplode]

Most likely your bomb-infantry's sequence doesn't include a Death-Entry...

Seafox · 07-20-2003, 06:52 PM

Yep...that was it. In fact I didn't make a Sequence at all...didn't think it'd need one, since all it does is paradrop and go boom. :lol:

u can make this parabomb paradroped from any aircraft right? like disks possibly etc?

Well sure, but I'd do that as a map thing, might be good on lunar maps to have them dropped from UFOs. :lol: And whatever plane you choose will drop all Paradrops, including the infantry. Easiest way to do it I think is just add Image=Whatever to the PDPlane entry.

it lacks the entry, "Explodes=yes".. that entry must be present on the in any unit that utilizes suicide as its main weapon..even the [IVAN] has "Explodes=yes" entry.. and for the weapon entry, the "Suicide=yes" entry must be present on the weapon to be used as a deathweapon..and the "Strength=" must be 100 and armor to be used is "None"..or it will take longer to explode..

*takes notes*

Thanks a bunch, XCOMET!

EDIT: Ufortunately, now I've got another problem. I've been trying to make a Parabomb upgrade for the airfields, very simple in nature, no graphic changes or anything, but for some reason, I can't get the PBomb upgrade to deploy on the airfields. I've checked my TibSun INIs and I'm almost positive I have all the tags, but it still won't work. I'm betting the problem is in the art INI. But, I'll post the code here in case anyone has any thoughts. Basically, I want to put a 1x1 upgrade with no graphic on the airfield, which will look the same afterward as it did before.

I've tried moving all the codes and whatnot around and different values but I've had no luck. I could just look in MooMan's Rules for it, but that'd be kinda like cheating, I think. I prefer not to steal code.

EDIT2:I was right. I don't know what the PingPong=yes is supposed to do, bu it needs to be on all plugs. *shrug*

you're welcome! i guess you don't need any addtional art stuff for Parabomb Upgrade..you could consider it unique for Soviets, since in Red Alert 1 they have it..even the all-time favorite Spy Plane that zooms across the map belongs to the Sovs too..the Allies has their own GPS Satellite and they can view the whole map from up here..
