Small debris tests

SuperJoe · Commander **Joined**: 03 Sep 2009

Just a few tests with voxel debris. That small thingy is supposed to be the pilot flying out of the vehicle, bit like with GLA technicals. Might look a bit better if you animated it. The other one is just the flame guy spawned along with the ordinary explosion.

I like the pilot flying out of the buggy.

While you're at it, you can try to find out why/if/when voxel debris spawn blue tiberium vinifera.
I've noticed that in some rare cases, they spawn blue tiberium but haven't spend time to find out which keys do that exactly and under which circumstances.

Maybe using voxel debris for tiberium spawning solves some issues that we had with art.ini debris.

RA2 has a debris anim for flying burnt people, IIRC dbrs10, IMO that would look perfect with that #Tongue

OMG LOL!!!! Fuckin DIEING OF LAUGHTER at the debris you put in with the guy flying out of the buggy. That's PERFECT!!! Then the flaming guy from the bike... omg. LOL. Perfect. Will the flameguy try to run into water when he's spawned that way?

That flameguy behaves exactly like the normal flameguy. So in other words... yes, it will run on water.

And that guy flying out of the buggy reminds me of the first Grand Theft Auto game... It only misses the blood pool instantly appearing around it when hitting the ground Razz

Guess they "fixed" that flameguy bug in RA2. Since IIRC Flameguys fall over once they reach the edge of a shore tile.

Will you post tutorial on how to make these debris test?

Should just be an expireanim for a debris piece which goes nowhere for the flameguy, and for the corpse pribably a debris with an invisible voxel and the body as the traileranim...?

For RA2 its just a simple task of adding this to whatever unit you want to have the driver exploding out...

Code:

DebrisAnims=DBRS10SM
MaxDebris=1
MinDebris=1

It doesn't always release the debris but thats pretty much just it.

Add in DieSound if you use a suitable descending scream...

Maybe give the flying man debris a bloodtrail animation, it may look interesting #Tongue

EDIT: Is it possible to use shp debris (as defined it MetallicDebris) with voxel debris together? I had to use the PIECE debris as a workaround for more debris because of that, but I prefer the shp's more, but they won't get used if a voxel debris is also included Sad

yes
But art.ini debris work only if you create a special animation for them and use this for the Explosion anim of the unit

e.g.
rules.ini
[Animations]
xx=DEBRIEXP

[MYTANK]
Explosion=DEBRIEXP ;new anim which spawns art.ini debris
MaxDebris=2
DebrisTypes=PIECE ;use in addition some voxel debris
DebrisMaximums=2

art.ini
[DEBRIEXP]
Image=none
Elasticity=0.0
MaxXYVel=1.0
MinZVel=-10.0
ExpireAnim=TWLT070 ;show a usual explosion anim
Spawns=DBRIS1LG ;spawn some additional art.ini debris
SpawnCount=4
LoopStart=0
LoopEnd=0
LoopCount=0
Rate=0
DetailLevel=0
Bouncer=yes

Also see the tutorials forum: Animations and art.ini debris

You can also use MaxDebris, DebrisTypes and DebrisMaximums to spawn art.ini debris, that's how I did these tests. E.g.

Code:

[UNITX]
MaxDebris=4
DebrisTypes=PILOT,TIRE
DebrisMaximums=1,4

[PILOT]
Name=Pilots away!
Image=PIECE
Elasticity=0.0
MinAngularVelocity=1.0
MaxAngularVelocity=1.0
MinZVel=1.0
MaxZVel=1.0
MaxXYVel=1.0
Duration=1 ; End voxel right away and switch over to art.ini anim
ExpireAnim= ; Put the art.ini anim here
Damage=0
DamageRadius=0
Warhead=TankOGas
StartSound=DEDMAN1
;BounceSound ; Could experiment with these for something fun
;BounceAnim
;ExpireSound
