I can't seem to get an MOSRotating to gib the instant it's spawned. I've tried GibImpulseLimit = 0/-1 and GibWoundLimit = 0/-1 Just refuses to gib. |

I don't know about getting something to gib the moment it appears. Now, what you can do is create something with an attachment or limb. Give that attachment/limb a JointStrength of -1, and that ATTACHMENT will immediately gib. Then you could just make the base MOSRotating object that it's attached to a one-pixel invisible thing that doesn't hit or get hit by anything. Not sure if you can just add attachments to a MOSRotating, though. Maybe you'd have to make it an actor or something. This sort of gives me an idea of how I could make one of my weapons better... |

I've found a different method. I'm seeing if I can get it to work =] |

Me knows how to do :3 I used the technique in my Pyro Cannon and my Force Cannon... Attach an emitter with burst enabled. Make the emitter spit out an ethereal, but extremely heavy MOPixel at a low speed. MOPixel triggers GibImpulseLimit, and voila!  But i am curious as to what your method is... |

Actually my method didn't work, but I'm going to try your method now =] |

I can't get your method to work without it sending all the gibs flying in one direction. |

That's probably because of the MOSRotatings velocity... It carries over to the gibs, y'know. But to make it explode like it was static, you'll need another emitter, which has been set to burst into the required explosion... Like this: Code: <Lots of irrelevant code here> AddEmission = Emission EmittedParticle = MOSParticle CopyOf = Fire Ball Green Spread = 3.14 MinVelocity = 20 MaxVelocity = 10 BurstSize = 12 <--- AddEmission = Emission EmittedParticle = MOSParticle CopyOf = Fire Ball Red Spread = 3.14 MinVelocity = 20 MaxVelocity = 10 BurstSize = 12 <--- AddEmission = Emission EmittedParticle = MOSParticle CopyOf = Fire Ball Blue Spread = 3.14 MinVelocity = 20 MaxVelocity = 10 BurstSize = 6 <--- EmissionEnabled = 1 EmissionsIgnoreThis = 1 EmissionCountLimit = 1 ParticlesPerMinute = 0 BurstScale = 1 BurstTriggered = 1 Flash = None FlashOnlyOnBurst = 0 Notice the three arrows. I think it's pretty self-explanatory what those parameters do :3 Well, just make the emitter like the one above, apply a massive PinStrength, and make the MOSRotating gib the emitter with 0 velocity and 0 spread... Should work, me thinks

The problem is that the pixel I am using to gib the pinned object is sending the gibs flying, and no matter what I do to the variables it doesn't seem to be making a difference. I've already used emitters for explosions but I'm trying to find a new method to replace that. One where I can make use of the new gib code. |

Hmm, this seems like a problem... You probably have set the burst pixel to be HitsMOs/GetsHitByMOs = 0... I'm outta ideas now, sorry

hmmm guess I'm gonna stick with the emitter method |

I'm pretty sure it's new in B20 Along with PushesEmitter = 0 for AEs. Ran across it on the frag shell. It along with glow MOPixels is how the frag shell has a glow on impact detonation. |
