There's an explosion glitch with my mod.

[tony007]

I've been developing a laser rifle that shoots a laser and explodes when it hits. So far, the explosion works very well. It kills everything in its radius. The only problem i'm having is that, in the Underworld, when i shot a laser blankly at the ground, it explodes near the ghouls, and nothing happens. It makes it seem like the ghouls are impervious to my laser rifle's explosions. So, i turned TGM off and shot one at the ground. Somehow, i didn't die either. There's a bug somwhere with this rifle. It happens particularly when there are ghouls around. Can someone help me fix this?

I don't have much mod experience, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's something to do with being underground, rather than ghouls. Have you tried it in underground areas (metro stations or vaults or whatever) that don't have ghouls? Have you tried firing the weapon at a location above the ground

 

My hunch is that the explosion is happening at 0 on the z axis, or at whatever the ground level for your location is. So it would seem to work outside, but not when you're above or below the ground level for the detonation spot -- i.e., either underground or in a building.

 

Of course, if that's the problem, then I don't know how to fix it. But it's something to test for, anyway.
