 Glow Help. Hey all I have been having some trouble using glows and the wiki hasn't helped me at all.  I want to make an energy weapon with a glowy impact.  Any help will be appreciated  Thanks Cyrill Jones

Re: Glow Help. The sprites in base.rte are ok. I just can't get them to work with a gun, so code please

Re: Glow Help. You'll probably be wanting a TDExplosive in the shot that gibs some particles with the glow on them. Look through the effects files in base.rte for lines marked ScreenEffect and have a look at what they do. Fiddle around and experiment with how they work.

Re: Glow Help. I have got a grenade that explodes and shows a blue screeneffect however, it only stays on for a very very short amount of time. How do I make it show for longer? Also 411570N3 wrote: You'll probably be wanting a TDExplosive in the shot that gibs some particles with the glow on them. Would I do this like a grenade launcher?

Re: Glow Help. Probably something like duration. The variables are named fairly intuitively. As for the rounds, pretend you're doing a grenade launcher, except the grenade explodes into the particles you want, with no spread. This makes it look like you fired more than one particle from a single spot.

Re: Glow Help. I've got my Grenade Launcher/Gun The grenade with the gibs I want. How do I get the grenades to fly straight and explode on hit?

Re: Glow Help. You make the grenade's GlobalAccScalar to 0 and set it's GibImpulseLimit to 1 (easiest way to do it)

Re: Glow Help. Here is my bullet so far: Code: AddAmmo = AEmitter
PresetName = ExplosiveBullet
InstanceName = ExplosiveBullet
LifeTime = 2000
Mass = 4
GlobalAccScalar = 0.1
RestThreshold = -500
HitsMOs = 1
GetsHitByMOs = 0
SpriteFile = ContentFile
FilePath = Whitebots.rte/Devices/Weapons/GrenadeFired.bmp
FrameCount = 1
OrientToVel = 0.6
SpriteOffset = Vector
X = -1
Y = -2
EntryWound = AEmitter
CopyOf = Dent Metal
ExitWound = AEmitter
CopyOf = Dent Metal
AtomGroup = AtomGroup
AutoGenerate = 1
Material = Material
CopyOf = Military Stuff
Resolution = 2
Depth = 0
DeepGroup = AtomGroup
AutoGenerate = 1
Material = Material
CopyOf = Military Stuff
Resolution = 4
Depth = 1
DeepCheck = 1
EmissionAngle = Matrix
AngleDegrees = 180
ScreenEffect = ContentFile
FilePath = Base.rte/Effects/Glows/YellowBig.bmp
EffectStartTime = 0
EffectStopTime = 55
EffectStartStrength = 1.0
EffectStopStrength = 0
EffectAlwaysShows = 1
BurstTriggered = 1
AddEmission = Emission
EmittedParticle = MOSParticle
CopyOf = Fire Puff Medium
PresetName = Rocket Launcher Smoke 3
LifeTime = 250
GlobalAccScalar = 1
EffectStartTime = 0
EffectStopTime = 500
EffectStartStrength = 0.4
EffectStopStrength = 0.0
ParticlesPerMinute = 3000
BurstSize = 1
Spread = 3.1
MaxVelocity = 100
MinVelocity = 99
PushesEmitter = 1
AddGib = Gib
GibParticle = MOSRotating
CopyOf = Flame Ball 1
Count = 3
Spread = 3.1
MaxVelocity = 6
MinVelocity = 4
AddGib = Gib
GibParticle = MOSParticle
CopyOf = Flame Smoke 1
Count = 5
Spread = 3.1
MaxVelocity = 10
MinVelocity = 3
LifeVariation = 0.50 Could some one give me a hint as to where GibImpulseLimit should go because where I put it originally made it not work. I have got the gun in-game and only some of the bullets explode on contact while others don't explode at all
