Brick Explosion

[Vitawrap]

so lately I tried to make a brick explosion which is like the jeep explosion but sommons bricks instead of tires.
then as someone with no experience at coding, I tried to edit it:
i first edited Jeep_Explosion.cs so it is stored in Vehicle_Jeep

original Code: [Select] //jeep_explosion.cs //initial jeep explosion, jeep loses wheels and is burned //  we use the default vehicle explosion, but add wheels debris // Debris //////////// datablock ParticleData(jeepTireDebrisTrailParticle) { dragCoefficient = 3.0; windCoefficient = 0.0; gravityCoefficient = -0.5; inheritedVelFactor = 0.0; constantAcceleration = 0.0; lifetimeMS = 500; lifetimeVarianceMS = 150; spinSpeed = 10.0; spinRandomMin = -50.0; spinRandomMax = 50.0; useInvAlpha = true; animateTexture = false; //framesPerSec = 1; textureName = "base/data/particles/cloud"; //animTexName = "~/data/particles/cloud"; // Interpolation variables colors[0] = "0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0"; colors[1] = "0.0 0.0 0.0 0.250";    colors[2] = "0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0"; sizes[0] = 1.50; sizes[1] = 2.50;    sizes[2] = 3.50; times[0] = 0.0; times[1] = 0.1;    times[2] = 1.0; }; datablock ParticleEmitterData(jeepTireDebrisTrailEmitter) {    ejectionPeriodMS = 90;    periodVarianceMS = 0;    ejectionVelocity = 0.0;    velocityVariance = 0.0;    ejectionOffset   = 1.0;    thetaMin         = 0;    thetaMax         = 0;    phiReferenceVel  = 0;    phiVariance      = 360;    overrideAdvance = false;    particles = "jeepTireDebrisTrailParticle"; }; datablock DebrisData(jeepTireDebris) {    emitters = "JeepTireDebrisTrailEmitter"; shapeFile = "./jeepTire.dts"; lifetime = 2.0; minSpinSpeed = -400.0; maxSpinSpeed = 200.0; elasticity = 0.5; friction = 0.2; numBounces = 3; staticOnMaxBounce = true; snapOnMaxBounce = false; fade = true; gravModifier = 2; }; // Explosion //////////// datablock ExplosionData(jeepExplosion : vehicleExplosion) {    debris = jeepTireDebris;    debrisNum = 4;    debrisNumVariance = 0;    debrisPhiMin = 0;    debrisPhiMax = 360;    debrisThetaMin = 40;    debrisThetaMax = 85;    debrisVelocity = 14;    debrisVelocityVariance = 3; }; // Projectile - you can't spawn explosions on the server, so we use a short-lived projectile ///////////////////////////////// datablock ProjectileData(jeepExplosionProjectile : vehicleExplosionProjectile) {    directDamage        = 0;    radiusDamage        = 0;    damageRadius        = 0;    explosion           = jeepExplosion;    directDamageType  = $DamageType::VehicleExplosion;    radiusDamageType  = $DamageType::VehicleExplosion;    explodeOnDeath = 1;    armingDelay         = 0;    lifetime            = 0;    uiName = "Jeep Explosion"; };

modified Code: [Select] // support stuff for the jeep vehicle exec("./jeep_BrickExplosion.cs");i guess there's something weird about it being that small....

i also modified the base zip file

original only the brick.dts has been added with no scripts affecting it

modified the brick.dts model is this: click to enlarge

and when using it ingame it acts like nothing has been changed...

First of all, you'll have to change all of the datablock names so it doesn't overwrite the Jeep's stuff.
So whenever you see

Code: [Select]

datablock BLAHBLAHData(SomeName)
Change SomeName to a unique name.

Next. In the server.cs you're telling it to execute the file jeep_BrickExplosion.cs. But if you look in your folder, the file is called jeep_Explosion.cs, so the file you're telling it to execute doesn't exist.
But since you're only having 1 line of code in your server.cs, I suggest moving all of the code in jeep_Explosion.cs to the server.cs(because it's annoying when people only have 1 line of code in their server.cs).

You're also telling it to use the model block.dts, which doesn't exist. You're file is called brick.dts.

Also, when you rename the datablocks, you'll have to set some of the things in the datablocks to the appropriate names.

[Amade]

You used block.dts in the scripts but the file is named brick.cs.

Also, you might as well delete your server.cs file and rename your jeep_explosion.cs file server.cs. This doesn't really make a difference, though.

updated it with all your tips, still not working, console gives no detail about it

Welp. Give us the code so we can see what you're doing wrong.

When you do datablock (myDataBlock : prevDataBlock); then myDataBlock inherits all the fields that you don't change, from prevDataBlock.
So if I did

Code: [Select]

datablock ProjectileData(prevDataBlock)
{
      directDamage = 5;
      uiName = "Fish Face";
};
And then I did

Code: [Select]

datablock ProjectileData(myDataBlock : prevDataBlock)
{
      uiName = "Super Doge";
};
Then the uiName of the second datablock would be "Super Doge", but the directDamage would be 5 because we told it to inherit from prevDataBlock and did not define the damage of myDataBlock.

I also suggest using less generic names than you are using.

Also:

Post it here.

Next time if you want help faster.

after multiple attempts, swollow helped me to clean the script and eventually redid it all from scratch, the add-on is now available here:

but still thank you for your help
