Stormtrooper789's Random Explosion Tutorial

[Keets]

Have you ever wanted to make a module look like it's under attack like the Endar Spire? WELL NOW YOU CAN, by the amasing info from StormTrooper789!




void main()
{
object oPc=GetFirstPC();
object oRand=GetNearestObject(OBJECT_TYPE_ALL,oPc,1);
location lRand=GetLocation(oRand);
ApplyEffectAtLocation(0,EffectVisualEffect(3003),lRand,0.0f);
PlayRumblePattern(1);
}



Now let's explain this junk

object oPc=GetFirstPC() means to find your character in the module.

object oRand=GetNearestObject(OBJECT_TYPE_ALL,oPc,1) means to see what objects are near your character that are of any type(sound, placeable, character, door, waypoint and trigger)
location lRand=GetLocation(oRand) This will generate a location for oRand so the explosions can be made.

ApplyEffectAtLocation(0,EffectVisualEffect(3003),l
Rand,0.0f) This will create an explosion at the randoms objects. 3003 means fragmentation grenade effect.

PlayRumblePattern(1) This will create a rumble effect around the explosion.

Compile the script and your not finished quite yet. We need the script to loop so it wont work only once. Open the *.are file of your module and add the script name without extension to the OnHeartBeat entry. CONGRATULATIONS!

tk102 recommend Injecting this script into the heartbeat
