Dynamicly place explosion on location script for dummies(and me).

[ZippyDSMlee]

I know I am the least qualified to make one of these but I thought it'd be helpful for new people to find this via the title and what not.

If it needs refinement go ahead and say what ti needs I will update as needed.

---------------------------------

 

This must be done via an activator.

 

 

Make a duplicate of VoiceCastMarker, remove the script make new script extends ObjectReference add script below the green ==== bars.

 

 

Your activator name should be the same activator name

Your explosion name should be the same explosion name

 

 

YOU MUST SET THE PROPERTIES OF THE EXPLOSION IN THE CK TAB IF YOU DO NOT IT WILL NOT WORK(and may or may not be lost down a rabbit hole of coding hell for 3 days)

 

 

Make a duplicate of fakeForceBallNudge, call it whatever NULL explosion, add your activator to the place object tab.

 

 

Add this null explosion ONLY to your base magic effect(if you are trying this you should know what to do) in the explosion tab or via explosion for a projectile(if you are trying this you should know what to do).

 

 

So your Spell/Weapon Enchantment/Projectile you are shooting directly calls to your null explosion which calls to YOURACTIVATOR which has YOURSCRIPTNAME and its explosion property set that calls to YOUREXPLOSION.

 

 

Would a more advance setup utilize an array better? Anyone want to make an array version of this? Add a couple getrandom floats 3 explosions if you need more food for the array to work.
