Building Custom Ammo - Having issues on effects

[Scyclone]

Hello Everyone,

I have recently jumped into XML Mod development and have had some decent success thusfar. I decided to try and take things a step further and create 'flaming' 9 MM ammunition. I have tried several different options but none seem to work quite accurately enough.

Currently, I have the gun accepting the new type of ammo and allowing me to load the gun/reload/etc with it. It will also fire properly and deal damage like a normal bullet will. The issue is that it is purely functioning just as a regular ammo bullet as opposed to igniting the zombies on fire (similar to the flaming arrow mechanics I tried to copy into the item).

Any thoughts on what I may be doing wrong at the moment?

Hi scyclone

Try adding this, it should work.

<triggered_effect trigger="onSelfAttackedOther" action="AddBuff" target="other" buff="buffBurningElement"/>

Alrighty, Ill give that a shot. Would it make sense for me to replace the othered triggered effect pieces and enter in what you listed here?

I assume damage and such is provided within the buff.xml for Burning Element?

 

[Scyclone]

@Gouki - Just tried it out and it worked great, setting the zombies on fire when shot .

Would there be any way I could modify the duration/damage of the fire debuff from the bullets by any chance?

In either case, thanks for the help

Could make a copy of buffBurningElement and edit its values. Just change its name and change it on your ammo so it points to your new buff.
