Description

A shortened paste from my Stardock Thread; Picture evidence is there

After testing some effects in both MP and SP, what I had discovered, is that Explosive Effect is having NO Effect on the AoE of a fired missile (Or missiles). Even when firing with enough damage to destroy all blocks.

[​IMG]

tested 4900 block arrays (4900 modules/ PC) of different combinations on SP with and without Explosive effect and Damage Beam; They got the same explosive radius.
However, Explosive Effect clearly states that it Boosts the radius of a missile detonation to 22 in weapons details menu:
[​IMG]

Im sure that this isnt the current intended behaviour of missiles + Explosive Effect. Either missiles+ Effect are bugged, or this is the intended result, and the Radius Explosion number is showing incorrect.

I am also rather new to this forum bug thing. So I am unsure if what I am doing is correct

Steps to reproduce
  1. use missiles with explosive effect
  2. modify blockBehaviorConfig to see different damage, radius, ...
Tester information (Internal use only)

Similar as before

Note that if you do have enough damage for the max radius, it's perfect spherical damage.

-Confirmed-

Both values mentioned in the title don't change the max radius of a missile. Tried out 100% effect and 50%. Both didn't do anything so it seems to be unused or overwritten by something.

-QA Testing-

The values change the radius indeed, but it seems the damage spread is not evenly anymore.

A missile that did not have enough damage to kill its full radius with explosive radius increased by an effect.


It's not a sphere anymore. I'm not sure what method is being used but just letting it use the pre-calculated data of the updated radius (default + effect% * explosive radius) would work better?

Nevermind...It's consistent, this is the case for no explosive effect too. I do not remember the missile radius looking this odd before, will have to downgrade and check an older version.

I recall (But not tested recently at all) that missile damage also depends partially on the side of the entity hit. A perfect hit to a flat side facing galactic North isnt always the same as a perfect hit from any other side. Could be worth double checking

Also, perhaps time this was renamed to update the new path/bug this is exploring
