Splash Damage

[Orphen_123]

how do i make a custom unit have splash damage??

 

[Ghan]

In the Object Editor, change the Area of Effect fields.

 

[Orphen_123]

ive changed combat - attack 1 - area of affect but nothing happens, the attack type is missle(splash) doesnt do any splash at all

 

[Ghan]

Those fields are the RANGE of the splash, not the actual damage of the splash.

 

[Orphen_123]

so how do i change the damage of the splash, cause atm only the target they attack is getting hurt

 

[Ghan]

The damage done with the splash is based on the actual damage of the unit. Keep in mind that the range of the splash is measured in pixels, so make sure that it's big enough to have an effect. Also, there are three ranges. An outer, middle and inner. The splash will do different amounts of damage depending on the range of each circle.

ive got it area of affect(full damage) 50 (medium damage) 100 (small damage) 150 which is the same a chimaera has but still doesnt do any splash at all

 

[Ghan]

What about the splash targets? (Almost forgot about those. ) The splash needs to have some targets allowed for it to work.

 

[Orphen_123]

area of affect targets, ive got them the same as the targets normally allowed.

 

[Ghan]

No reason it shouldn't work... could you upload the map?

 

[Orphen_123]

ill keep trying for a bit then upload. it prob sumthing really simple and im just to stupid to notice lol

 

[Orphen_123]

the unit that i want to have splash is the fire ranger. dont laugh if its sumthing really obvious lol

 

[Ghan]

Well, I know how to fix it. Obvious? Not really. You have to make the attack type Artillery or Artillery (Line), but then that adds an attack ground option. Do not use it though, or it crashes the game. (I have no idea why.)

 

[Orphen_123]

lol that sux
dont no any other ways to do it??
maby ill try creating a custom unit based on chimaera or sumthing that already had spalsh then just edit it

 

[Ghan]

Well, it doesn't really make sense to me. You should be able to use Missile (Splash). (If we're lucky, AceHart will come in and clear it up. )

- Combat - Attack 1 - Area of Effect (Full Damage) to a value?
- Combat - Attack 1 - Area of Effect (Medium Damage) to a value?
- Combat - Attack 1 - Area of Effect (Small Damage) to a value?
- Combat - Attack 1 - Area of Effect Targets to regular targets (ground, ....)
- Combat - Attack 1 - Damage Factor - Medium to a value?
- Combat - Attack 1 - Damage Factor - Small to a value?
- Combat - Attack 1 - Weapon Type to Artillery (Non-line) or to Missile (Splash)
- Combat - Attacks Enabled is allowed?

Orphan, you stole my line.
I MADE THAT IN PICTIONARY!
I COPYRIGHTED IT!

 

[Orphen_123]

Does any1 no how i can do this without changing the attack type to artillery,

 

[Volkof]

Haha i know why already. You must check the "Enemy" in Area of Effect Targets.

 

[baka-ranger]

why cant you use the attack type missile (splash)?
