controlling explosion groundscars

[knorke]

It seems there is not much controll about the groundscar texture that projectiles leave on impact?

Basically atm:
1) texture is randomly chosen
2) size is based on "default" damage
3) all weapons must use same textures

At least it seems so to me from eg
https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/d ... r.cpp#L940
but maybe I am missing something.
Is there more to control 1,2,3?

Would be nice to if something like this was possible in weapondef:

Code: Select all

groundscars = {
[1] = {texture="crater1.png", size=25},
[2] = {texture="crater2.png", size=60},
[3] = {texture="crater1.png", size=25},
}

(maybe also lifetime and some others if you want to get really fancy)

Or maybe someone already made a lua to draw groundscars without the engine's system?
If so, please post kkthxbye :)

I am wholeheartedly in agreement. I assume it's ok if I add this to my engine kludge list?
