Request: Authentic explosion emitter

[Reactor Worker]

Well, working on a movie right now, but the main thing holding me back is a lack of decent special effects. Good shots and trial and error can only take me so far.

I know a lot of you out there are pretty skilled with emitters, so I figured I may as well ask. "but RW, why did you not post this in the suggestions forum?". Well, thing is, I know that most of the talented people don't even glance at that forum, and this isn't some cheesy video game rehash request.

Anyway, there are other effects I could really use also, so if someone wants to jump onboard the project I would really appreciate it.

You'd need to combine a bunch of emitters together and trigger them simultaneously to make something even remotely nice.

That would be difficult, unless you want to use something like a special effects weapon or something.

[Reactor Worker]

A weapon would be fine although an emitter would be preferred.

I am mainly looking for an explosion with the "wow" factor. I mean, the jeep explosion is dull and rather unrealistic.

Self Delete bomb?

[Reactor Worker]

No, this is for movie making. A Self Delete bomb would require me to have an actor in place whenever I want to have an explosion play.

An explosion gun would be good for scenes when I want something firing at something else, but an emitter would be equally as useful so I could film timed series of explosions.

[Jervan]

It'd be easy to take Self Delete bomb's explosion emmiters and put it on a gun explosion. Without bullet trail or .dts obviously.

[Reactor Worker]

is the Self Delete bomb explosion any good? I haven't seen it.

[Jervan]

I haven't either.

[Reactor Worker]

I haven't either.

So why did you recommend it?

My main goal is to have a realistic/cool looking explosion effect, not the rather dull puff of smoke that most explosions appear to be right now.

Lag isn't really too much of an issue as I only plan to use it sparingly and probably only in small server use.

He didn't, yeturn did.

[Jervan]

Yeah I just said I could make a gun where you shoot the place you want the explosion

I would help but god damn Debris don't loving work and I'm sad now.

In what?

I'd really appreciate your help muffinmix considering your expertise with emitters, regardless of this debris problem.

[Muffinmix]

I'll work on it, will make 2 separate guns (one will create a fireball type explosion and the other will create more of a smoke impact explosion)

In what?

Debris won't spawn in explosions. I'm almost to the point of creating a thread just to ask for help from the modding community, and hopefully it's just something very dumb I forgot to insert in my scripts.
