[not a bug] A_Explode doesn't seem to work?

[anakin s.]

Here's what I have:

Code: Select all

ACTOR StormBolt1_1 : HammerMissile
{
	DONTHURTSHOOTER
	Damage 10
	Speed 25
	SeeSound ""
	DeathSound "FighterHammerExplode"
	ExplosionRadius 16
	ExplosionDamage 16
	States
	{
	Spawn:
		FHFX A 2 bright
		FHFX B 2 bright A_PlaySound("FighterHammerContinuous")
		FHFX CDEFGH 2 bright
		Loop
	Death:
		FHFX IJ 3 bright
		FHFX K 3 bright A_Explode
		FHFX LM 3 bright
		FHFX N 3
		FHFX OPQR 3 bright
		Stop
	}
}

ACTOR StormBolt1_2 : StormBolt1_1
{
	Damage 10
	ExplosionRadius 32
	ExplosionDamage 32
}

ACTOR StormBolt1_3 : StormBolt1_1
{
	Damage 10
	ExplosionRadius 48
	ExplosionDamage 48
}

ACTOR StormBolt1_4 : StormBolt1_1
{
	Damage 10
	ExplosionRadius 64
	ExplosionDamage 64
}

The problem is that my projectiles don't have any splash damage and consequently, they're much weaker. Since they're inherited, they all use A_Explode in their Death states, and the only thing I changed was the explosionradius and explosiondamage. What's wrong?

EDIT: I copied and pasted the explosion sequence and now I get the explosion. The problem now is that it also hurts me, even with DONTHURTSHOOTER set. I still think A_Explode should be heritable.

EDIT: I copied and pasted the DONTHURTSHOOTER also. Are only certain things heritable and others not? I was under the impression that everything was heritable unless redefined for a specific actor. In this case, for leveling up, I'd have to copy and paste entire explosion sequences for many projectiles, which takes up space and makes things more cluttered.

Explosion parameters are not inherited. All your projectiles use 16 - which is simply not enough to do any damage at all. Your explosion radius has to be larger than the projectile's radius itself.
