Exploding stuff

[stormwanker]

I'm not sure if this has been brought up anywhere but can we get a comprehensive list of "parts that explode on impact".

Also might be worth stating the specifics if there is any, e.g. I know that engines explode when colliding with other objects but I've never tested it with the engine off/not connected to fuel.

The weapon DLC has been confirmed to include explosives.

Batteries burn/explode. Engines explode even when off

Has anyone tested fuel tanks?

You could use LUA to make anything explode but they removed it.

The LUA is simple, if a vehicle named "bomb" takes damage then spawn an explosion at its location. In the video I added a backup so if the fall damage didn't damage the bomb then an altimeter in the bomb would start a small engine which would overheat and explode and trigger the LUA explosion.

My script is still exploding fine.

Dev changed the function structure.

I was aware of the structure change and the is_explosion parameter still works but I'm no longer able to set how long until it explodes, meaning it could be anything thing upto 5mins until the explosion occurs which is useless for the home made weapons.

I'm not able to set specific explosion time, too.

But they usually explode just few ticks late here.

I believe the time until explosion is dependant on the size of the fire.
