My First Internal Error! Need some help?

Atomic_Noodles · Defense Minister **Joined**: 05 Oct 2011

Code:

; chaos bombs
[chaosbomb]
Damage=600
ROF=30
Range=6
Projectile=Ballistic
Speed=30
Warhead=PsychGasCreate
Report=ChaosDroneAttack
;Burst=4
OmniFire=yes
AreaFire=yes
;Anim=CDGAS

So I tried making a Cloned Weapon of the Chaos Attack of the Chaos Drone and making it into a "grenade" weapon. Slapped it on the Flak Trooper for testing... and blam Internal Error?

I deleted the Flak Troopers Secondary Weapons (including the Elite one)

Also, I tried copying the entries with the proper entries edited of the Dolphin into a new unit and giving it the Terror Drone's SHP but it's not showing anything at all.

Weapon names/IDs are case sensitive, which is likely candidate for IE.
Also declaring AreaFire (means shoot directly at ground at your feet) is pointless when you want to use an projectile.

Isnt AreaFire=yes for Secondary weapons only?

Chaos Drone has ChaosAttack (which has AreaFire) as Primary and VirtualScanner as Secondary. All the other units with it may have it on their secondary weapon (Desolator, Yuri Prime and his clones).

As for the IE, simply fix the weapon name. It could be [Chaosbomb] or the traditional way [ChaosBomb]

I wasnt saying that it's whats causing the IE, just saying......

; ******* Weapon Statistics *******
; The weapons specified here are attached to the various combat
; units and buildings.

; Anim = animation to display as a firing effect [use 8 for directional variation]
; AreaFire = indicates that the weapon fires at the current cell and does damage in a radius (def=no). Warning: This only works for secondary weapons right now.

I'll be pissed if this works for Primary, I never bothered to try it because I was going by WW's klittle warning there. Confused

The IE stopped now after I changed it to just this:

Code:

; chaos bomb
[chaosbomb]
Damage=600
ROF=30
Range=8
Projectile=Ballistic
Speed=30
Warhead=PsychGasCreate
Report=ChaosDroneAttack
;Burst=4
;Anim=CDGAS

If I set this to a Deathweapon will it blow up on where he is standing? or do I need to make another Clone?

Another question I'm asking is how to make a Cloned Dolphin unit that uses the SHP of the Terror Drone instead. I tried changing it's entries in both rulesmd & artmd but it's not appearing on-game.

Trivial alert!

Have you added the entry into the VehicleTypes list?

Yeah i figured out that part after fiddling up with the artmd.ini and adding a copy of the Dron shp renamed into something else. Now the Soviets have Swimming Terror Drone. Laughing

Now I'm trying to get the New Buildings to appear correctly...

ModEnc is a big godsend... Very Happy

And I have Graion to thank for sorta inspiring me... I guess. Rolling Eyes

No need for it. What I said, applies. Go through the basics, make yourself familiar with the files and then you'll know the limits.

Be creative, experiment.
