Help with .WAM editing for explosive car
Hey guys! I need some help setting up a wam file for my friend's car.
He wanted me to make a car for him, and this is the description he gave me, and told me to be creative:
"An E.O.V (explosive ordnance vehicle) with enough explosive punch to blow the spine out of any driver who dares to hit it!"
Relying on this description alone, I thought about making a box with wheels where instead of shrapnel flew off, those explosive mines used with the Slaughter Mortar powerup could drop out on the road and potentially booby trap roads with a minefield!
I've been reading the advanced wam editing tutorial hoping to accomplish this, but I get rather confused.
Is it possible to do this? If so, could I have a little tutorial please? There are no detachables. It's just a body with wheels.
Thanks!

Re: Help with .WAM editing for explosive car
Yes it's possible. My Dirty Money does this. You do set up detachables in the WAM so you have things that will fly off in the explosion. You attach a mine/mortar powerup ID to a smashable texture like the windshield. You're just setting up a smashable material but then setting the 'Room turn on code' to 14 instead of the default 0 (14 is the mine)
Read through the Dirty Money thread and download Dirty Money and examine the TXT and WAM files.
But, but have you ever made a car before? Because this will just confuse and frustrate you if not. Before you can run you need to learn to walk, and i am not going to carry you. :-0

Oh okay. Yes. I've made cars before. About 6, and I can tell you they're nothing specialcoffeycup wrote:Yes it's possible. My Dirty Money does this.

Anyways, i'm unsure of how to set this up. Here's what I have:
//Entry 2
BOMBSTORAGE //actor
Normal //softness
Detach
Box
1 //number of smashable textures
Smashable part #1
14 // Room turn on code
However, it crashed. What am I doing wrong? I can't look at Dirty Money because i'm on a phone currently.
Re: Help with .WAM editing for explosive car
Of course it crashed, that's not how you set up a smashable material.
Harm did a WAM editing tutorial. Look at section 1.3.3

I looked at that, but i'm confused as to which properties i'm supposed to put in, and which ones to leave.coffeycup wrote:Of course it crashed, that's not how you set up a smashable material.

Re: Help with .WAM editing for explosive car
Each line is commented explaining what it is.
In the example, "00hood" would be whatever the texture name is of your windshield.
"00hood3" would be the name of the texture of the broken window
You then change the 0 on the "// Room turn on code" to 14
Please download Dirty Money and look at the WAM file.

This is just a single not smashed/smashed entry..

Weird. I don't see any explosion coming from Dirty Money when it is hit. Isn't it suppose to?coffeycup wrote:Each line is commented explaining what it is.

You're not going to see a fireball effect. Just money bags inside get thrown free.

Re: Help with .WAM editing for explosive car
Ohhhh....okay. Then that's different then what i'm trying to. I'm looking to have mines get thrown from the back part (separate object) of the vehicle. I suppose that's still along the lines of spawning non-cars? If it is, then how do I add the mine to the track that this vehicle is set to be an opponent on? I read the advanced wam editing tutorial, and it said that the noncar has to be in the track's file and mentioned in the txt file.coffeycup wrote:You're not going to see a fireball effect.

Re: Help with .WAM editing for explosive car
Mines thrown from back of vehicle? Umm like mine-shitting powerup?
Don't know why you're asking about adding mines to the track? Maybe you're trying to do something that isn't possible? There is a track making/editing tute here:

Yes like the powerup. Unless it's impossible, then that's what i'm trying to do.coffeycup wrote:Mines thrown from back of vehicle? Umm like mine-shitting powerup?

The part about adding it to the track was because, like I said, the advanced wam editing tutorial said to do it if you're making noncar shrapnel for the car.
Re: Help with .WAM editing for explosive car
I don't think it's possible. Unless anyone else has idea.

Re: Help with .WAM editing for explosive car
Probably not possible. I would have to test to be absolutely sure (which I cannot do until beginning of April). But I'd say it cannot be donecoffeycup wrote:I don't think it's possible. Unless anyone else has idea.
