FS Superweapon IE

Hey guys, I'm having an IE problem with one of my custom SWs. I know it's an OnFire related IE. It's caused by my Firestorm SW, and I'm not sure what about it is causing this. It's worked fine before without any IE when I had it coded before losing maybe a couple weeks worth of modding.

There are two animations used the second time around with this SW that I've never used, but I'm not sure what's really causing it.

Here's the coding for the SW and everything related and an except.txt

Shouldn't Action be custom?

I think I got it figured out. The FirestormBomb warhead has Sparky=yes. There is no warhead in the game that has Sparky=yes. Guess It doesn't work in RA2 and I didn't know it.

I'm confident this will fix it, if not then I'll be back to this topic.

Strange how Sparky works fine in TS/FS but causes IEs in RA2/YR

This flag causes Internal Errors when the warhead is supposed to detonate in RA2/YR. It has been suggested that adding FIRE3 to the [Animations] array solves it, but that remains uncomfirmed. Adding the OnFire list back into YR, with usable animations, can solve this problem.

But since the whole trees on fire logic had been removed, i doubt there is any use for this key in the first place.

Its well known you can't use Sparky without IE unless you have added back the OnFire= key with the 3 flame anim entrys.

Either way, the logic appears quite pointless/not working(?) as its supposed to set buildings in fire.

Also you can't use lightsize when particle system is not spark type besides spark particle lights in heavier use are crash prone.

Having set Fire type in system but Gas in subparticle may also behave strange, hope you have tested it.

EndStateAI should be 29 in first particle and 2nd particle is unnecessary as lack proper anim to fade the flame.

Sparky does work, albeit it's usage case is limited and good luck noticing it.

What does it do, when leaving flames on ground is done by the explosion anims in art.ini with Scorch=yes or Flamer=yes and
with tree and building fire logic being removed?

Does it has another purpose?

Building fire logic works, that's not removed.

It's just that 3 modders out of 5 doesn't read ModEnc to realize OnFire is dummed within RA2/YR rules and that's why that tag crashes.
