game ignoring DebrisMaximums

XxpeddyxX · Commander **Joined**: 03 Sep 2004

Hey guys, can't seem to get my head around this, my unit(s) have custom debris and whenever I set the min/max from 1/2 to something higher they sometimes spawn 2 of the same debris even though my code shows as follows:

Code:

MinDebris=1
MaxDebris=2
DebrisTypes=LTTNKTURRET,LTTNKBODY
DebrisMaximums=1,1

If I tried Min as 2 and Max as 3 sometimes I get 2 turrets, 2 bodies etc. I just want it to spawn both at the same time, or occasionally just spawn 1.

Min1,Max2 currently only spawns 1 OR the other.

DebrisMaximums is said to be broken in RA2.

Use art.ini debris on a custom explosion animation and you can specify exactly how many debris of each type should appear.

I didn't know it was a comma separated list, but I think it's the fact that it is random 0-1 applied to such a small total. If the max turns out to be 2, and both are the same, but you've limited it to one of each, you get 1. If you only get the min debris, you also get 1. Most circumstances will lead to 1.

Use larger min like 3 and max like 5 ?

Thanks LKO, but I thought art debris can't spawn voxel debris?

Correct, LKO missed that its voxel debris here Smile

You can spawn voxel debris as you already are doing or by warhead only.

Granted, it may be feasible to use some dummy warheads that create the wanted debris only 1 each and hook those warheads into anim or invisible art debris but thats a lot of bloat coding for something so simple.

I'll give it a go, how does one spawn voxel debris with warheads? I thought they only used Min/MaxDebris and it was from the (shp) list under [General].

The only way I could get this done was by using voxel and shp debris, though 2 turrets still spawn occasionally. The Code states a max of 1 can spawn though, not sure what went wrong.

artmd.ini code:

Code:

Bouncer=yes
Spawns=LTTNKTURDEB
SpawnCount=1

Hmm, I woulda just used 1 frame dummy shp to do damage=1, warhead with debristypes= and set debrisminimums/maximums but not sure if that obey either but 1 frame shp should make it fire only once the warhead however.

I tried that, DebrisTypes doesn't work on warheads, I think warheads only allow MinDebris and MaxDebris, which take a random debris from the MetallicDebris list.
