Hi. I'm currently making modifications to no_critical_rear (I'm pretty sure you guys know what this is)

So what I'm trying to do is when a weapon hits the rear of a vehicle, the vehicles takes more damage.

So here's what I've done -

Added an action\damage to the critical's actions -

In it, I put damage as 10, and set percentage as true.

In-game, the issues appearing are two things -

  • kicker_message doesn't show up
  • Instead of the critical action\damage adding 10% more damage, the critical instead reduces the affected vehicle's HP until it's barely alive (like, imagine, one PTRS shot can take it out)



For now I'm using a slightly different table but I would really like to use the Percentage thing, and also have the kicker_messages pop up. May anyone please help me on fixing these two issues?

If you set it as percentage, then it reduces the affected target to that percentage of HP. In your case it's being reduced to 10%, nearly killing it.

I can't think of an easy way to make a weapon do 10% more damage on a rear hit, unfortunately :/

Wow, guess I'll have to use my other table then (sad) :(

May you help me on my kicker_message issue, please?

It's the same as it came with the critical, since I didn't modify that part of the critical.

message_colour_a is 0, which means the alpha is 0 (invisible). 255 is fully opaque.

I tried it but it still won't show the message :(

Moreover, why are the kicker_message showing for vanilla criticals when the alpha is set to 0? So strange.

Which ones are set to 0 by default?

Make sure message_seconds is not 0 and you have at least one action.

Two requirement_actions. Basically each action is checking if the executing weapon matches a list of requirements. This is just to balance out the extra damage added for autocannons.

Did you type in a message?

This is very difficult to troubleshoot. Could you just take a picture of the entire critical, with everything expanded?

Just wondering: So how is it going to check if the executor's weapon is X?

I'm not sure if Criticals have an executer in the first place. Are you sure it's working with check_self at TRUE?

Well, I took two screenshots to compare the difference. One is for a tank being hit from the front, and another being hit from the rear -





Seems to be working.

Ah, then show us your requirements.

Also, make sure the pbgid matches the original.

And yep, the pbgid is matching the original.

Strange. Maybe add hardpoints? Other than that, I have no idea.
