Explosion

object.

Description

The emitter for an explosion effect, with properties defined by a ExplosionData object.

The object will initiate the explosion effects automatically after being added to the simulation.

Example:

datablock ExplosionData( GrenadeSubExplosion )
{
   offset = 0.25;
   emitter[0] = GrenadeExpSparkEmitter;

   lightStartRadius = 4.0;
   lightEndRadius = 0.0;
   lightStartColor = "0.9 0.7 0.7";
   lightEndColor = "0.9 0.7 0.7";
   lightStartBrightness = 2.0;
   lightEndBrightness = 0.0;
};

datablock ExplosionData( GrenadeLauncherExplosion )
{
   soundProfile = GrenadeLauncherExplosionSound;
   lifeTimeMS = 400; // Quick flash, short burn, and moderate dispersal// Volume particles
   particleEmitter = GrenadeExpFireEmitter;
   particleDensity = 75;
   particleRadius = 2.25;

   // Point emission
   emitter[0] = GrenadeExpDustEmitter;
   emitter[1] = GrenadeExpSparksEmitter;
   emitter[2] = GrenadeExpSmokeEmitter;

   // Sub explosion objects
   subExplosion[0] = GrenadeSubExplosion;

   // Camera Shaking
   shakeCamera = true;
   camShakeFreq = "10.0 11.0 9.0";
   camShakeAmp = "15.0 15.0 15.0";
   camShakeDuration = 1.5;
   camShakeRadius = 20;

   // Exploding debris
   debris = GrenadeDebris;
   debrisThetaMin = 10;
   debrisThetaMax = 60;
   debrisNum = 4;
   debrisNumVariance = 2;
   debrisVelocity = 25;
   debrisVelocityVariance = 5;

   lightStartRadius = 4.0;
   lightEndRadius = 0.0;
   lightStartColor = "1.0 1.0 1.0";
   lightEndColor = "1.0 1.0 1.0";
   lightStartBrightness = 4.0;
   lightEndBrightness = 0.0;
   lightNormalOffset = 2.0;
};

function createExplosion()
{
   // Create a new explosion - it will explode automatically
   %pos = "0 0 100";
   %obj = newExplosion()
   {
      position = %pos;
      dataBlock = GrenadeLauncherExplosion;
   };
}

// schedule an explosionschedule(1000, 0, createExplosion);
