Some tips with Explosions; AOEffect

[JoJoKobe]

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone knows any cool effect graphics from an area of effect (AOE) strike. I'm getting tired of seeing the usual #explspr 10009 purple stuff.
(can I stack them? ie, can I have both #explspr 10009 and #explspr 11209?)

Any comprehensive "code" lists out there :?

Also, I can't seem to get AOE to work properly...
it seems my Drug-high Angel keeps hitting 1 dude and 1 dude only... Any tips/suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
JojoKobe

All of the explosion sprites have been mapped, see this thread for details:

as for the AoE, are you sure that you are using the exact right command just as detailed in the modding manual? also remember that any capital letters will break the command.

think I got it to work, I put the aoe value to like 36, but it still hits only 1 square (although now it kills all in that square.)

With regards to restricted heroes, I don't think it is working so well... I'm seeing duplicates of myself, any ideas?

Thanks again.

Post the code up in plain text. I'm sure the problem will be evident.
