help needed with airburst weap

Exley · Posted: Mon Aug 15, 2011 6:13 pm Post subject: help needed with airburst weap

I wanted to make chemical missile more than just to fall and stink
so I made it act as Cluster missile, but results are terrible

all that happens is Chem missile comes above target area
drops only 1 projectile and nothing happens
(yes I have airburst weapon assigned to dummy unit)

I haven't change anything in Gas warhead

Code:

; Chemical missile weapon
[ChemLauncher]
Damage=0
ROF=1
Range=6
Projectile=ChemMissile
Speed=30
Warhead=WeakShit
Report=ICBM1

; chemical missile projectile
[ChemMissile]
Arm=2
High=yes
VeryHigh=yes
Cluster=1 ; attached warhead count
Proximity=yes
Ranged=yes
AA=no
Image=MISLCHEM
ROT=4
Color=DarkGreen
IgnoresFirestorm=yes
Airburst=yes ; does it split? yes it does
AirburstWeapon=ChemCluster ; in what weapon it splits

; Weak Warhead
[WeakShit]
Spread=1
Wall=no
Fire=no
Tiberium=no
InfDeath=4
Deform=0%
ProneDamage=0%
Verses=0%,0%,0%,0%,0%

----------- here comes cluster code -----------

; Chemical Missile Cluster weapon
[ChemCluster]
Damage=0
ROF=80
Range=6
Projectile=ChemDump
Speed=20
Burst=5 ; how many rockets will be clustered/dropped
Speed=20
Warhead=Gas
Report=ICBM1

; Chemical Cluster Dump Projectile
[ChemDump]
Arm=2
High=yes
VeryHigh=yes
Cluster=4 ; attached warhead count
Proximity=yes
Ranged=yes
AA=no
Image=MISLCHEM
ROT=4
Color=DarkGreen
IgnoresFirestorm=yes

It's the Cluster key on the projectile defining the amount of cluster missiles, not the Burst key on the AirburstWeapon.
Burst on the AirburstWeapon is not used at all and ignored by the engine.

Look at the MultiMissile which has Cluster=10, thus fires 10 small missiles.

Also 0% verses on the warhead will surely give you an IE when the AI tries to fire that weapon, as it can't find an appropriate target.

hmm
I've corrected the cluster issue
and the warhead issue increased to 1% to all verses

but now no gas comes out of clustered missiles
nothing at all

Give the weapons Damage=1. With 0 the warhead is ignored.
