Flame Tank [FireballLauncher] damage

Vampiro · Vehicle Driver **Joined**: 15 Oct 2009

Thanks to this great forum i learned how to edit and add some units.
Im stuck however at this tank, i got it working but it does no damage to tanks. Infantery dies, buildings get damage (exept the Construction Yard) but tanks get zero damage. Any help at this?

Thanks in advance!! (nevermind the sounds in the rules, still have to add them)

[Fire] is the warhead, and it has only 1 entry, so i guess that cant be tjhe case.

Thanks for your suggestion!

Speed can be integer only. (in addition does the engine use a point not a comma for floating point numbers)

Though i doubt that this causes your problems, but you should change it to 1 anyway.

Thanks for pointing this out, i have changed it.
But as you said, it didn't solve my problem.

Still no damage to tanks.

The FireBall particle in RA2 is buggy. I've seen the same when I tried: insta-kill infantry, but 0 damage to vehicles (and structures too iirc).

Solved it!!

Finally, it took some time and frustration but i finally managed to solve it.
The problem was in 2 factors.

All the time i was changing this damage value

[FireballLauncher]
Damage=150

This seems to have zero effect because im using a particle effect. The particle also has a damage entry. This is the one to change.

[FireStream]
Warhead=Fire
Damage=4

Then on the Warhead you set the characteristics on damage VS armour types :

Verses=600%,500%,200%,100%,100%,100%,150%,100%,100%,200%,100%

In my case damage against tanks was set at 30% with a firestreamdamage of 1. All i did was changing the Weapon damage witch seems to have no effect at all. Ive now changed the projectile damage to 4 and verses to 100%. Now it works fine.

If your weapon doesn't do damage to infantery, maybe you should look at this too. Thanks for reading!

Kinda weird, it seems to me it SHOULD do damage to infantery but NOT to vehicle's.

None, Flak, Plate //infantry
Light, Medium, Heavy //units
Wood, Steel, Concrete //buildings
Special_1, Special_2 //special

Can you post your firestream too? and what it is holding?

these were both in the original unmodified rules ini, all i did was take the ; away from the Image=FLAMEALL. and it works
