Shastania Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Just wondering- is it possible to create a mod that allows the player to detonate the Megaton bomb from ANY location rather than just Tenpenny Tower? Or is it an epic, impossible task involving much coding, bleeding fingers, loss of hair and coffee overdose?I only ask as I think it would be nifty to be able to view the explosion from different vantage points across the Wasteland.

Xanorak Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Very true. It might cause coffee overdose, though :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyaSolovyov Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Very true. It might cause coffee overdose, though :D I don't think it would really require any scripting at all. All you would have to do is copy the detonator's script and attach it to something else. I don't know if it will break the quest, but I don't think it would.

But it might break the quest, not sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shastania Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Only thing is- what if you're standing REALLY close to the blast epi-centre;for example, the hills outside Springvale.Would there need to be a mammoth amount of coding to to create the atomic blast wave or would be similar to the effects created when firing the Experimental MIRV?

TonyaSolovyov Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 If you wanted a blast back type effect, that would require a massive amount of coding. I'll try making a mobile detonator when I have time tomorrow and see how the results are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyaSolovyov Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Wow, I can't believe I forgot to comment. =/ The Megaton explosion is a little more scripted than I thought. Essentially, in order to detonate the nuke, I believe you have to be within a certain vicinity of Mr. Burke and within the Tenpenny Tower zone. Everything is scripted (even small things such as Mr. Burke covering his eyes). It MAY be possible to edit the script to remove all the requirements, but it would require someone with a little more talent than I have. I tried placing the script on something and activating it and nothing happened (not even a message). I also tried moving the whole detonater, but it doesn't appear. I'll mess around with it a little bit more, but I'm pretty sure it's more hard-coded than everyone thought. Tonya Solovyov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
