Datablocks being a bitch

[Pie Crust]

I have this

Code: [Select]

[b]datablock ExplosionData[/b](MedievalExplosion)
{
   //explosionShape = "";
   lifeTimeMS = 500;

   soundProfile = boomBitches;

   particleEmitter = burnbabyburnExplosionEmitter;
   particleDensity = 10;
   particleRadius = 0.2;

   faceViewer     = true;
   explosionScale = "1 1 1";

   shakeCamera = true;
   camShakeFreq = "20.0 22.0 20.0";
   camShakeAmp = "1.0 1.0 1.0";
   camShakeDuration = 0.5;
   camShakeRadius = 10.0;

   // Dynamic light
   lightStartRadius = 3;
   lightEndRadius = 0;
   lightStartColor = "00.0 0.2 0.6";
   lightEndColor = "0 0 0";
};
And the console shows this:

Code: [Select]

Object 'MedievalExplosion' is not a member of the 'ExplosionData' data block class
Console, y u no stahp trolling?!

Maybe you need a shape?

[Pie Crust]

What do you mean by a shape? The tools work, the draw sound is heard when it is taken out but when fired, no sound nor explosion is seen/heard. And the console shows Object 'MedievalExplosion' is not a member of the 'ExplosionData' data block class

[Electrk]

He means a shape for the explosion
Try parenting the cannonball explosion

[Pie Crust]

The script is a bit ambigous. This is for a fiery axe item. (Melee)

I didn't understand the parent part. You mean add this

Code: [Select]

Parent::preFire(%this,%obj,%slot);[\code]

[Electrk]

No.

datablock ExplosionData(MedievalExplosion : whateverTheCannonballExplosio nNameIs)

[Pie Crust]

Then how come the sword script doesn't have the parent but works eitherway?

[Pie Crust]

datablock ExplosionData(MedievalExplosion : whateverTheCannonballExplosio nNameIs)

No-go

[Treynolds416]

Is this the one where the B has to be capitalized in "dataBlock"? Or does that fix something else

[Pie Crust]

^ Going to try that

EDIT: Syntax Error.

[Electrk]

I think that's for spawning objects

[Pie Crust]

Well? Any ideas?

[ZSNO]

You should put the explosion data before you try to use it in another datablock.
Also "datablock" cannot have a capital B in it.

[Xalos]

You should put the explosion data before you try to use it in another datablock.

This. Some types of datablock can be used before they're defined - otherwise the image/item pair system we use would go straight to hell - but the ExplosionData type is not one of them, so you have to define it before you use it.
