Explosive Barrel

[freddy]

you need to add the addArmorEffects in your mod to

[Apache Thunder]

Your timeToLiveAfterDeath is too short. Try making it at least 0.5. A value of 1 is recommended. You can use a lod system with a invisible wreck mesh so you don't endup seeing two barrels at the time of destruction.

Too short timeToLiveAfterDeath settings usually result in death effects not working completely or not work at all. This also makes it not work as well in multiplayer as well.

I found out what I need. The TimeToLiveAfterDeath is fine, as it's directly copied from your barrel.

ObjectTemplate.addArmorEffect 0 e_ExplGas_tank 0/0/0
ObjectTemplate.addArmorEffect 0 e_BF2Barrel_w 0/2/0
ObjectTemplate.addArmorEffect 0 e_scrapmetal 0/0/0
ObjectTemplate.addArmorEffect 0 e_scrapmetalsmoke 0/0/0

None of these effects work, as they haven't been added to my mod yet.
It will take me some time to find all of the files, but I'm on the right track.

I also need these materials:

ObjectTemplate.explosionMaterial 205
ObjectTemplate.Material 45

Where can I find these materials? I could not find them in your "damage_system" folder.
Also, what does "ObjectTemplate.explosionMaterial" and "ObjectTemplate.Material" do?

[Apache Thunder]

Material 45 is a vanilla material and I think 205 might be the vanilla Exppack explosion material, so you won't need to port anything from the damage system.

[Swaffy]

Thank you, sir.

[Swaffy]

Alright! The barrels are finished. Everything works as planned. [Thank God.]

All I have left to do is edit the fire and smoke, then a couple of sounds.

This is another finished project for Swaffy.

Hey Swaffy,

Can I use your map to copy over the exploding barrel?
Would you be so kind as to link the map to me?

Cheers,

[Swaffy]

It's part of my mod, not a map. They are on a few maps, if you can find them. I went a little overboard on King Of The Island lol.
