Day 2 of work begins:

What code allows me to add a fireball when the bomb explodes?

How come when I test the bomb, there's not line of dots that help me aim?

What is the name of the MOPixel that's yellow and deals damage when a bomb explodes?

1. That's a type of gib. Look into "Base.rte/Effects/Pyro" for the effect you want, find the Pyro.ini in that folder, match the filepath name to the fire effect image, copy the PresetName and add that gib.

How to add a gib: Put the code below into your bomb code.



2. Bombs don't have that.

3. See the gib code in anser 1.

eh.... I found the effect, so what code whould I use to add fireball?

Do I just copy the AddEffect section from Pyro.ini?

Nah, you see in that AddGib code, there's a "GibParticle = MOPixel" section? That's the type of the particle you want to spawn. I think the fire puff is probably a MOSParticle, so in that "GibParticle" section, you put the type and the PresetName on the CopyOf line.

so that's what it would look like?

Yes, but you have the min and max velocity mixed up. Also, that's a lot of particles you're spawning.
I would say set the max to 200 and min to however much below that. That will send the particle across a 640 screen in about a quarter second.

Alright!! The mod is done. Thanks for the help, and you can try it right now.

Now I want to make version 2.

What code do I stick in to add that green puff?

Are blood, flesh and bone MOPixels, or MOParticles or MOSRotatings?

Green puff?
And you'll have to figure that out. Base.rte has all the gib definitions.

green puff is that GreenSmall.bmp in the glows folder of Base.rte

I'll look up the rest then.

This is such a nice thread.

Well, do you know how to add green glow?

On an MOPixel or MOSParticle:
