[REQ] Ships exploding on the way down!

Reece · 06-02-09, 03:27 AM

One thing I would like to see is the ship exploding on the way down with a little more oomph, at the moment you get some sound and splashes of debris floating to the surface & every now and then the water will light up red.
Is it possible to have the water erupt with some large explosions similar to depth charges, would add to the immersion.

You do mean, imploding?

Imploding and exploding boilers, ammunition etc, or do they all go down with little fuss, probably what you see on movies is a little overdone, but looks good!

Every partical effect has a setting for emmision area.
If a new effect were created,
with an emmision area set above the zone used to enact it?
You can create slashes as described.
Then you would have to assign this effect in the zone.cfg
to a zone that does not disappear when the ship goes down.
Say the sinking bubbles zones maybe?

Sounds like a very good idea Reece.
