Hi all!

Just for fun, I decided to create an intentionally game-crashing weapon, as we all do from time to time.
I decided to have a go with recursive gibs; that continue to explode into themselves, increasing in number exponentially.

It didn't work as planned. I chose an AEmitter for the task, but I can't use itself in its definition, if that makes sense. I can't make it gib into itself, and I can't find a working way to make this happen without Lua.
I have seen such objects before, namely the Cancer Bomb.

Is it doable using only an .ini file, or would I have to delve into the world of Lua?
And if that's the case, does anyone have relevant links or code that could help me crash my CC spectacularly?

Thankyou!

Recursive gibbing is done by defining an object in .ini. Then, copy-paste the entire object's code and add itself as a gib, possibly twice.

1. Define A
2. Denife B
3. Make B gib A
4. Redefine A (copyof, identical presetname) and make it gib B

That's about it.

To [hopefully] make what Shook said a little more clear:Also, if you want the changing name to be less noticeable for the player in-game, you can just change capitalization, or similar characters such as 1, and l, or O and 0, and so on. This is also good way to confuse yourself, though.

Although, keep in mind that this method will not save devices from the maximum device count, so if you're doing this with a device, (HDFirearm, HeldDevice, TDExplosive) it may disappear after sitting out for too long.

Thanks, all!
With your input I've succeeded in flooding the screen with white pellets in record time!
You've opened a whole new world of possibilities for me! Thankyou.
