Would you be able to throw a grenade right the way though a rocket then??

Wouldn't it add an interesting aspect to the game if a grenade could be shot/thrown into an enemy dropship/rocket and have it explode from the inside? |

That would be cool, but it'd probably pretty hard to do. |

Well, gold can be (used to be) thrown into the rockets. Why can't grenades do the same? |

No, I meant it would probably be pretty hard to throw a grenade into a ship. |

only if the rocket was empty, otherwise you would see blood/bone/metal flying out from both sides

Getting a round to pierce and then explode immediately afterward is rather difficult to do; most just settle for a set range that the enemy has to be at. Perhaps an RPG where the round would gib into another round that would then do the piercing action... The only thing I can think of at that point is spawning the new explosive a few X values to the left or right and then having it blow up instantly, but again, that requires that it be fired from a specific angle. Of course, makng 2 explosives, one to the right and another to the left, would work quite well... As far as I can see, it's possible, though not in the sense of an actual round penetrating into the rocket. Closest I can come up with is a round that spawns 2 other rounds upon impact, one to the left and another to the right (and perhaps another one upwards, or 2 more up at diagonals just to be sure) where the secondary rounds fire fast-moving, hard-to-see, extremely-short-lived projectiles in enough quantity to make the rocket do some crazy stuff. The gibbing probably wouldn't create quite the desired effect, at least not with the current rockets. Who needs to think before you post? I do it on the way through .

The if you could grab the velocity vector of the projectile and use that to spawn an explosion a certain distance in that direction..... bah that's real code, not .ini stuff. |

anyway, i think the only effective way for programming a 2D game so that weapons "penetrate" ships, is if the rockets are designed to respond with a predefined code, - it could be another set of commands ( maybe in future builds, ) where a certain code in a weapon gives it the capacity to trigger a code in the rocket, then the rocket makes stufff happen to itself *creating the visual effect of a weapon destroying the inside of a rocket* |
