[LE] [Help] Make explosion happen at object reference.

[Rigmor]

I want to make a kind of invisible bomb go off, at a reference (not the player) with a force that sends clutter flying (not people) is there a way to do this?

 

 

[RichWebster]

The PlaceAtMe() function accepts an explosion object.

[Rigmor]

Would something like this work?

Scriptname NewScript extends ObjectReference

Explosion Property MyExplosion Auto
ObjectReference Property MyMarker Auto

Event OnInIt()

MyMarker = Self.PlaceAtMe(MyExplosion)

EndEvent

[RichWebster]

If MyMarker is where you want the explosion to be use:

 

MyMarker.PlaceAtMe(MyExplosion)

Thanks B1gBadDaddy,

 

Almost seems too good to be true.

I'm going in, wish me luck ;)

That script didn't work, but this one did. So I'll leave it here for anyone else looking to create an explosion on an xmarker.

I had to use a trigger, and applied this script to it.

 

Scriptname RigmorExplosionTest extends ObjectReference


Explosion Property MyExplosion Auto
ObjectReference Property MyMarker01  Auto  
Actor property MyActor auto


      Event onTriggerEnter (objectReference triggerRef)
Actor actorRef = triggerRef as Actor
if (actorRef == MyActor)
      MyMarker01.placeAtMe(myExplosion)


endif


endEvent

what about just just casting fireblast spell?, if the ref is an actor?

 

Edit

maybe a usemagic package for some flair too.. if the ref is an actor

hey peter, i got it sorted, it was an unusual thing i wanted to do. i wanted an npc to hit a table and disturb the clutter, but they always miss it, or the weapon just ignores the clutter objects.

I needed a way for the npc to "seem" to hit the table making stuff fly about. so it had to be an invisible "push" or "stagger" that script worked a treat ;)
