Ok so the only way to keep the barrels from spraying blood everywhere when hitting them with lets say a scorpion missile, that does explosive damage to human and creature material types, is to make the particle effect spawned when hitting monsters or humans not produce any kind of blood effects. For some reason the exploding barrels or even the destructible walls in the river of souls 1 map are using the explosion particle effects that are supposed to be used by the flesh materials. The material files for the barrel textures are set to have a default material type. What is up with this? Bullets do not do this at all. This only happens if a projectile is set to do explosive type = 17 damage to monsters. If you set the damage type to 2 the barrels use the default material type. Anybody got a clue?

Looks like it's the mod because I see some particles that are spawning blood particles on impact with: "default", "stone", "metal". You can look at each of those particle files and try changing them back to the way they were for those surface types by referencing the games particle files of the same name.

Oh ok It's probably something I overlooked. More then likely the blood.particle or bloodblob.particle files since they're used by multiple bloody explosion particle effects. Thanks for the heads up.

Ok so I started using you work found here https://www.turokforums.com/index.php?topic=496.0 as a base for my project. I converted all my changes to your optimized layout and it's so much nicer now to work with. I understand now what you were saying about adding scripts to enemies. You have seriously made a very nice workspace for Turok 2 modding and I strongly recommend everybody to use your work as a starting point. Awesome job on your part. It has a much better streamlined approach and a nice set of cool features that can be easily tinkered with for both monsters, weapons, and the player. Again great job.

Ok so about my issue with the destructible objects acting like they're made of human or creature flesh, you said I should check if they are using improper materials. Would this be done using the map editor or scripts? Because I've never made changes to the barrels or other destructible objects with a map editor. I simply used this mod https://steamcommunity.com/app/405830/discussions/1/135513549100098472/ as a base to enhance the blood and gore in the game. Could there be an issue with his work?

Is there an event number for fire damage? I can't find one for shock either.

Also has anybody else noticed what I was asking about before? The exploding barrels using the same material as humans or creatures when hitting them with explosive projectiles?

Ok so I’m having trouble figuring out where exactly this script needs to be called on. I thought for sure the enemy defs would call a certain script like the weapons but they do not. So how do I get them to call on a custom script. And where is the default script for the enemies? I need to know what void statements are permitted.

Also is it possible to make a friendly turret?

Short answer: No you can't change that.
Long answer: create an Enemy script for all Enemy Defs and OnTick check if their mode state == 30 (Reaction FallDown (Tranqulized anim start)) and try setting the mode time to 0 until you want them to wake up. If that doesn't work try checking if their mode state is not 30 then set it back to 30 until you want them to wake up. A list of all the modes states and other info can be found in my script api help file.
Very long answer: you have to make the tranq gun not fire that particle Type, and fire your own custom one. Then in script check if the ai was hit by your particle type and make them go into their sleep animation and then pause the animation until there done sleeping. You'll also need to disable the kEnemyAIComponent while sleeping.

Download this for a list of all the script classes and functions. It'll help show you what you can change from script.

While this is intended for Turok 1, Turok 2 is almost exactly the same for particles. So checking out smoke39's guide would help for particles. And also just open some existing particles in the games particle folder for examples.

Well crap. Oh well I can live with those shortcomings. Not game breaking at all. Thanks for the help. I’ll be announcing my mod soon. Got lots of ideas and features already implemented.

Sixty already said it I think. defs/weaponinfo. That's not in scripts its in the defs.

I understand what he said but in the weapon scripts I need to be able to tell if the player is currently using normal shotgun shells or explosive shotguns shells. Is there a way to check which ammo type the player is using in the weapons scripts? I currently have the primary fire button shooting 1 shotgun shell and the secondary fire button shooting 2 shotgun shells. But the only way to get the secondary fire button to shoot 2 shotgun shells was to add a fireprojectile command that forces it to shoot the shotgun_bullet.particle. It works great for the normal shotgun shells but when using the explosive shotgun shells the shotgun fires 1 explosive shell and 1 normal shell. I need an if statement that will check if the player is using normal or explosive shotgun shells so that I can force it to shoot the proper projectile.

Also is there any way to make the alternate fire button loop the shooting animations for a weapon. For example the shotgun will not continuously shoot when holding down the alternate fire button like it does when holding down the primary fire button. Is there a way to fix this or is this something in the source?
