Shrapnel_projectiles

<- Back

Projectile_Shrapnel allows you to make projectiles that subdivide into other projectiles when impacting

You will need a projectile with this class, as well as projectiles with the Projectile_ShrapnelPiece class.

How do I use this code?

Assign the Projectile_Shrapnel class to any projectile's def:

	<thingClass>VEF.Weapons.Projectile_Shrapnel</thingClass>

Assign the Projectile_ShrapnelPiece class to any projectile's def that you want to act as the shrapnel pieces:

	<thingClass>VEF.Weapons.Projectile_Shrapnel</thingClass>

Finally, you will need new properties on the tag of the first item to handle the shrapnel creation, using ProjectileProperties_Shrapnel:

public class ProjectileProperties_Shrapnel : ProjectileProperties
{
    public float angleVariance;
    public int shrapnelCount;
    public ThingDef shrapnelProjectile;
    public float shrapnelRange;
}
