Giving a projectile area damage/making it 'explode'...

[Infininja]

I want to give the Shade's projectiles area damage or whatever, so, for example, if I shoot it right next to me it hurts me. I tried messing with the min and max range and the damage IDs but didn't come up with anything.

I'm still a n00b, I know.

And no, I don't wanna just replace the projectiles with the Wraith's or anything.

i don't think you can change that...

K, well if anyone comes up with anything.

More stupid questions.

Is there any way to make a certain projectile not destroy a vehicle, but only the driver?

And can I make the Wraith pilotable by MC?

Another thing, is it possible now, or is anyone working on making it possible to have copies of the same projectile? For example, could I have a Wraith shot coming from my shade doing 9999 damage, and the same-acting Wraith shot coming from the Wraith with 100 damage?

1) try swaping collision models
2)bump an elite and get into a wraith, or swap the wraith with the warthog
3)its called meta-duplication, check out forge.halomods.com

*Sigh*

You're smart, but I don't wanna bother you all day, especially since I get what you're saying but not how to do it.

One last thing... can you add a secondary fire (like the plasma pistol has two projectiles) to a weapon?

Thanks, man.

For the wraith thing, there is a better way to do it. You can swap it out w/ the warthog but u have to change the 0 seat name to w-driver. but anyway what i was going to say is on a level w/ the wraith just go to vehicles, on the bottom pulldown menu under the wraith click 0 then where is says seat name, just change that to w-driver. when u get in the game the elite that is driving the wraith is actually standing on top of it so now u can just shoot him off and jump inside and beable to shoot the wraith projectile and fly her around. Shooting it with accuracy takes a bit of practice, doesnt shoot how u would think.

Thanks, revealing some oddness to possibly work around, but cool.

So, my neverending questions continue. Bumping was mentioned, I haven't seen this done on the PC version, how would I do it?

Oh, BTW, the rockets home in on Wraiths now that the Elite is sticking out the top. I would guess it has something to do with 'MC Invisible' being checked on the Wraith and unchecked on the Banshee and Ghost.
