using [#include] section

Code:

[BlimpBomb]
Range=5
[BlimpHE]
CellSpread.MaxAffect=1
PreImpactAnim=S_CLSN58

It always explodes at the target cell instead of where it should be...

I believe this is linked to the problem of rippling and AE being centered around the target cell, not the actual point of projectile detonation.

It is just another logic combination that doesn't work by default. Kirov bomb is totally 'unguided dummy' and it doesn't know what it really hits since it just releases and explodes by the set values. PreImpactAnim logic assumes the intended target which is often correct but here it can't work.

Then why this won't happan when PreImpactAnim is none?

I tried a straight line projectile
It cannot cross the cliff...

I find it interesting that the ShrapnelWeapons are spawned at the PreImpactAnim, not where the warhead detonates.

Code:

;rulesmd.ini
[BlimpBomb]
Range=5
[BlimpBombP]
ShrapnelWeapon=TeslaFragment
ShrapnelCount=5
DetonationAltitude=0
[TeslaFragment]
Range=8
[BlimpHE]
CellSpread.MaxAffect=1
PreImpactAnim=ZEPPREANIM
[BRUTE]
Primary=BruteSucide;give him suicide weapon so he won't smash your base
GuardRange=-2
[BruteSucide]
Projectile=Invisible
Damage=1
Warhead=PrismWarhead
Anim=RING1
Range=-2
ROF=10
Suicide=yes

;artmd.ini
[ZEPPREANIM]
MakeInfantry=0;make a brute to test ShrapnelWeapon
;Image=XGRYSML2

Then I set DetonationAltitude to 0 and add laser effect, I got this cool laser-electric weapon, which looks like two weapons

I keep seeing this greyish brute just below the blimp. I think I need to get my eye examined.

You're seeing correctly - he set DetonationAltitude=0, so the projectile will detonate as soon as it is spawned (i.e. right underneath the Kirov).

Edit:
Oh, I suppose I should add: the purpose of the MakeInfantry is to make shrapnel work at the point of impact without requiring an infantry or vehicle object to already be there.
