DebrisTypes on warheads [support request]

Millennium

I've been trying to use DebrisTypes on a warhead with Min/MaxDebris, but unfortunately, it resulted in an IE, no matter which debris I tried.

DebrisAnims, the more logical option to use (since the default debris used by warheads is also an animation, not a VoxelDebris as the ones in the DebrisTypes listing) gets ignored completely.

Is it possible to somehow customize the debris spawned by a warhead? Or will it invariably cause an IE?

Use art.ini debris on Anim=

Afaik, DebrisTypes is a VehicleType key, DebrisAnims a BuildingType key. None a WarheadType key.

Which debris are spawned when you use Min/MaxDebris?
Find out which debris are used. Then check if a key has exactly those set (e.g. ExplosiveVoxelDebris in [General] section)
Then customize this key. Check if other things use it too. Make sure only your warhead uses it, so you can customize them without affecting anything else.

Or, use art.ini debris on Anim=

Using Min/MaxDebris on a warhead in YR will cause it to spawn random debris animations from the MetallicDebris= list in [General]. I could customize it that way by just defining DebrisAnims= on every unit/structure, so that MetallicDebris is only used for warhead debris... but that still wouldn't allow me to customize debris for different warheads.

So I will rather go with using debris in the explosion's art entry.

What I find odd though is that apparently DebrisTypes gets read from warheads (otherwise it wouldn't cause a crash), but it's just not functional...

Try it with DebrisMaximums as well.
Maybe when you set DebrisTypes without DebrisMaximums, it doesn't know how many to spawn (e.g. DebrisMaximums could default to 0, thus div/0 error).

It's working now. That really was the missing link here! Thanks.
