A Massive explosion effect

I'm looking for an extremely large explosion special effect for when one of my zeppelins die, it creates this effect and then you find coins on the ground as remains (Done as a cinematic)

and by massive, I mean MASSIVE Like a Nuclear Launch from StarCraft.

I've seen this effect in 2 maps, exact same, but the problem is I can't find this effect (and they're both protected, so I can't see them)

Anyone know a special effect like this?

+rep for trying :rolleyes:

Thanks.

you could make a motar team missle as a unit, and set up the scaling
then kill it

The Spawned Effects>NeutralBuildingExplosion and Buff>Doom (Minion) effects seem to have large explosion animation. The rest is as Insane suggested, change the model of a unit. Remove the shadow and give it locust. The event would when your unit dies, create this dummy unit with this effect animation at triggering unit position. Give it maybe 2 second expiration timer. Create sound effect (war stomp sound effect seems nice) on the last created unit (the dummy). Then the effect should be there. :)

Wheeeeeeeer.... Nuclear Launch Detected :D

My 1st suggestion would only if death models can be scaled, i think they can.
Use the human building explosion
Code:
Objects\Spawnmodels\Human\HCancelDeath\HCancelDeath.mdl
or if the Zeppelin is kinda small, make a GIANT (not classification just a description) dummy unit that is invisible and set its Art-Special to that and then use Another dummy unit w/ an artillery attack to atk the 1st dummy unit. And it will go BOOM.

Second suggestion is to find a Custom Explosion from the HIVE.
www.hiveworkshop.com there's a link to it on the left <<<<.

Suggested Models:
Objects\Spawnmodels\Human\HCancelDeath\HCancelDeath.mdl
Abilities\Weapons\Mortar\MortarMissile.mdl
Abilities\Weapons\GyroCopter\GyroCopterMissile.mdl
Abilities\Weapons\BoatMissile\BoatMissile.mdl

You might want to take a look at my only, old, and mostly pointless map, Starcraft Blood.

There is a nuclear explosion in it... Yes, I did import it back then :p At least making that map somewhat useful to anyone feels great if you ever find what you need in it ;)

Good luck!

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
