I know this may have already been posted (I've looked for a while)
but I'd like to know if:
1. There is a way to make a round explode after a certain distance into a wall.(using lua or something)
and
2.There is a way to make a round explode after coming into a certain range of a being. (once again using lua or something)

Cheers,
Sam

yes

Uh, no. Say something that actually helps if you're going to post. Warned for one word unhelpful post. -Duh

1- you can use lua or make a AEmitter that gibs the sharpnels and the flames.

2- samething , but I do not know if you change his lifetime will make him gib.

Sorry,

Yes is the answer to the questions you can use lua to do what you asked, that was
your question.

My question is did you just want to know if it could be done or how to do it as well?

If so you can either post in the request section and someone may do it for you, or
try yourself to code and if you get stuck there is a lua help section here.

On the contrary, a cheap loophole way of doing it is to set the sprite offset so the sprite is displaced to the left. When fired you will see the projectile explode "before" said target. (If set too far to the left may cause separated explosion and strange visual)

Thanks Guys...
*Reposting in Lua Section*

if you want terrain penetration, use lua to indicate the altitude, then once the particle is below a neglegible altitude (or in terrain) start a timer. At the end of the desired time, set an explosive to gib at the particle's position (don't make the timer too long or the particle will settle).

Why lua it's the answer to everything?
Just make one AEmitter with some pixels and make it gibs.

With just an emitter, you can't tell it to explode when it's inside the terrain, only when it hits it.
