 Making a Actor, "Could not match properly in" So, Im trying to make an actor explode on death. I've looked at other mods (e.g Oil Faction) and I think Ive got it, but I get: Attachment:
File comment: Error
error1.bmp [ 192.5 KiB | Viewed 2401 times ]
Line 420= Code: AddGib = Gib
GibParticle = MOPixel
CopyOf = Glow Explosion Huge
Count = 1
Spread = 2.25
MaxVelocity = 0.1
MinVelocity = 0
InheritsVel = 0 If I remove this it works perfectly. But this is half of the point of the actor. I think it means it cant find the original "Glow Explosion Huge" So, I've tracked it down to Pyro.ini, I tried setting the RTE's Index.ini to Code: IncludeFile = Base.rte\Effects\Pyro\Pyro.ini But no, so I copied the Pyro.ini into the same subdirectories in the mods RTE and set the Index.ini and Effects.ini accordingly, still nothing So basically HELP!

Re: Making a Actor, "Could not match properly in" is the name correct
Is the instance an MOPixel, or an MOParticle, or something else?
is nothing commented out?

Re: Making a Actor, "Could not match properly in" I think i see the problem: Wrong tabs. Code: <tab>AddGib = Gib
<tab><tab>GibParticle = MOPixel
<tab><tab><tab>CopyOf = Glow Explosion Huge
<tab><tab>Count = 1
<tab><tab>Spread = 2.25
<tab><tab>MaxVelocity = 0.1
<tab><tab>MinVelocity = 0
<tab><tab>InheritsVel = 0 Replace all <tab>'s with a real tab, and you should be good to go. I think. I put the <tab>'s there because a tab is converted to three spaces in a code box.

Re: Making a Actor, "Could not match properly in" GAH! ninja'd twice! but still, Shook is right: Could not match property says that there's something wrong with the property, not the value. Tabbing is the problem here. Code: AddGib = Gib
GibParticle = MOPixel
CopyOf = Glow Explosion Huge
Count = 1
Spread = 2.25
MaxVelocity = 0.1
MinVelocity = 0
InheritsVel = 0 should be Code: *AddGib = Gib
**GibParticle = MOPixel
***CopyOf = Glow Explosion Huge
**For the rest with *'s replaced by <TAB>'s. This will teach you how very important tabbing is. Also the error would be along the lines of if something hadn't been defined.

Re: Making a Actor, "Could not match properly in" More particles with longer lifetime and higher velocity

Re: Making a Actor, "Could not match properly in" Do you mean to make it appear bigger or actually have more AOE? Adding more MOPixel gibs can get you the latter, while effects-wise it depends. I'm assuming that you have a glow effect to go along with that Glow Explosion Huge pixel; you could just make the effect larger. Explosions, however, may look better with many small fiery effects. You could use animated MOSParticles for that. p3lb0x wrote: More particles with longer lifetime and higher velocity This. Bigger bang, more damage.

You mean on the code he posted? The forum does that automatically. So if I was to copypasta code from say, Base.rte. Code: AddActivity = SceneEditor
PresetName = Test Editor
SceneName = Grasslands
It'd go from 1 tab to a couple of spaces.
