Re: Fireball firing weapon
 

If you want a weapon that fires fireballs, here's how you do it:

set damage to desired value
set nostrength
set area of effect
set sprite
set otehr desried stuff
The #fire command makes the damage type be fire, so that fire immune units are not affected.

Voila, instant fireball weapon.

This one has nothing to do with #secondaryeffectalways, which will be fixed in next patch.

Re: Fireball firing weapon
 

But Edi: How do you set the sprite for a fireball? If you know I would be very happy to hear. And the #aoe command doesn't work.

Re: Fireball firing weapon
 

Indeed. There's no way (that we know) to set a fireball-esque sprite (or particle effect or whatever) and aoe on weapons doesn't work and never has.

But other than those slight problems, Edi's spot on http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Oh and fireballs do fatigue damage as well as fire aoe damage.

Re: Fireball firing weapon
 

Okay, so if aoe is foxed for next patch, then that would be the solution. It's in the list in red anyway.
Assuming we got #aoe working and we know we get #secondaryeffectalways with next patch, then setting a slightly larger aoe for a #secondaryeffectalways weapon that only does AN fatigue damage would work.

I'll take this up with Johan when he comes back from India.

Re: Fireball firing weapon
 

Didn't somebody have a list of flysprites? A firebally effect has got to be somewhere in there.

Re: Fireball firing weapon
 

If someone has a list of flysprites other than those in the modding manual, that would be great.

I sort of suspect that a real fireball isn't actually a sprite though - sprites are fixed animations, where as I think the fireball flight is some kind of particle effect, with lighting and so on. Seems to me it must be done differently somehow.

Re: Fireball firing weapon
 

I took a look, but didn't find a flysprite list. There are some effect lists and such. DrPraetorious could perhaps get a list of flysprites from the game and testing those could get us a coherent, usable list. Might be worth to ask him.
