Hello,it's me again~

djohe's Visceroid spawning weapons are great and they remind me a questions that puzzles me for a long time~

Which code make the gas spawn a visceroid after killing a infantry?
It seems GasCloudSys is the key?
Can we decide it spawns a baby visceroid or a adult isceroid?

Thanks~

1. I think it has something to do with BehavesLike=Gas
2. Nope, you can always create new Gas Cloud systems, as long as they have the above tag
3. Nope, it always spawns a baby visceroid
If someone thinks I'm wrong, please correct me Wink

3. You can change the SmallVisceroid= key to a different unit. Then it spawns this unit instead.

1. It has to do how a particle is linked to a warhead that is linked to the GasCloudSys (pretty complicated). It has to do with how the MutatorWH warhead in my/HZMPLAYS tutorial is linked to the GasCloudSys

2. Yup GasCloudSys appears to be the key, I have not created any other ones becaus this pre-existing particle already works. It should be possible to clone GasCloudSys and link MutatorWH to that one but I see no reason to do that.

3. Nope, it always spawns a baby visceroid but you can change the SmallVisceroid= line in the [General] section of the Rules.ini/Firestrm.ini to a different unit if you want to. Then it spawns this unit instead.

I see~
Thank you very much.
It's a pity that the SmallVisceroid= doesn't accept random units.
