How can i make an MOPixel bullet explode on contact instead of penetrating and killing?

or something similar...

Well..

MOPixels and MOSParticles can't have gibs, but there are a few ways to make them 'explode'.

Mehman uses .lua scripts which spawns the 'explosion' on 'destruction' of the pixel, which imo is the best option. I use a more simple method of using an AEmitter to fire the bullet, as well as a small MOSRotating which gibs on impact. If you use the AEmitter method you can also make shiny smoke effects and stuff.

would you mind telling me how, im totally new to this, I've been on the wiki and nothing like this is there.

Maybe you could post a sample code and an explanation.

Ok, so I'll use Mehman's method, as it works better and is far cooler. Are you familiar with .lua scripts?
You don't need to be. So, on your bullet, we'll attach a script to it, telling it to explode after some complex mathematical stuff sorts itself out.

This will be your explosion. in your weapon code, add something along the lines of this too it:
Code:
AddActor = AEmitter
   PresetName = Exploshn
   Mass = 0.50
   Sharpness = 1
   HitsMOs = 1
   GetsHitByMOs = 1
   SpriteFile = ContentFile
      FilePath = Base.rte/Null.bmp
   FrameCount = 1
   SpriteOffset = Vector
      X = -1
      Y = -1
   AtomGroup = AtomGroup
      AutoGenerate = 1
      Material = Material
         CopyOf = Metal
      Resolution = 1
      Depth = -1
   OrientToVel = 1.00
   EmissionEnabled = 1
   EmissionsIgnoreThis = 0
   AddEmission = Emission
      EmittedParticle = MOSParticle
         CopyOf = Tiny Smoke Ball 1
      ParticlesPerMinute = 6000
      StartTimeMS = 0
      Spread = 2.25
      MaxVelocity = 0
      MinVelocity = 0
      PushesEmitter = 0

// ^ not sure what for...
//Add Gibs here

   GibImpulseLimit = 200
   GibWoundLimit = 1


Just put it after the gun if you want. Don't forget to add Gibs to it. If you're stuck just use the dummy grenade launcher Gibs or something.

This is Mehman's script (forgive me Mehman).
Code:
function Create(self)
end
function Update(self)   
   local ray = SceneMan:CastObstacleRay(self.Pos , self.Vel*1.05*TimerMan.DeltaTimeSecs*FrameMan.PPM , Vector() , Vector() , self.ID , 0 , 1);
   if ray > 0 or self.ToDelete == true then
            local lr = CreateAEmitter("Your Explosion Emitter");   -- Place the name of your explosion here.
           lr.Pos = self.Pos+((self.Vel/125)*ray);
            lr.Vel = Vector(0,0);
            MovableMan:AddMO(lr);
      lr:GibThis();
      self.ToDelete = true;
   end
   
end

It creates an explosion (the AEmitter) on impact. Don't forget to insert the name of the explosion AEmitter inside the quotation marks. If you place that code in a new text document then save as -> all types, and add the extension .lua on the end of the file name, your script is ready.
Anyway, find the bullet you want to explode, and add the line:

Code:
ScriptPath = YourMod.rte/YourFoldersAndStuff/ThatLuaFileYouMadeBefore.lua
With a tab in front. You can place it anywhere in the bullet's slab of code, but it's easiest if it's under the PresetName or something.

Uuh. I think I forgot something. Too tired. Have a play around with that and see what happens.
Oh and welcome to the forums and modding and stuff.

Depth = -1 might be what's causing problems on that first error. Try Depth = 1

Is Mod.rte/Explosion.lua actually the filepath of the script's file? If not, fix that accordingly.

yes that is the actual scripts file path...ill try the Depth thing and let you know what happens.

this is my entire code for the gun.

all the errors start at the Resolution for the AEmitter.

i changed the Depth to 1, but since the errors start before that i dont think thats the problem. (it still happens) (ignore ScriptPath, its not like that in the actual code)

Try taking away one tab from the script line.

It's ScriptPath, not ScriptFile.
