Any way to have AOE, but not PD?
« on: September 29, 2012, 08:51:04 PM »

Simple issue; I want to have AOE on a weapon, but not have it get triggered by missiles.  Any way to do that atm?

I got close, by setting the distance to zero.  It's not perfect but at least it doesn't act like PD any more.

The only weapon i managed to do that has AoE was the flare system for the korh'ah marauder i got on the Star Control mod, it uses the flare itself as a weapon

Set the explosion radius to however much you want, then set the proximity distance to 0 or 1.  Makes it act like an AOE weapon with a hit radius of only the shell.
