I didn't think to do it; I just copied those from lightning and went with that.

@@eezstreet Also, what do you put into the missile code to prevent it from doing damage to the owner?

@@Asgarath83 I'm still shooting invisible missiles, and the explosion's FX only seems to register when it's under WP_SABER, oddly enough... @@eezstreet I don't suppose I could paste the lines of code from FX_Destruction.cpp into wp_saber.cpp? Because I feel like listing a Force power as a weapon is part of the problem.

What kind of configuration do you have in the files? You might already have this solved, by the look of things.

Have you tested that in-game?

Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.

@@eezstreet @@Asgarath83 Didn't change anything, so it has to be in either the code, or the .efx

I put these two under WP_DESTRUCTION for the lighting effect. It wouldn't make sense not to, in my opinion. missileLight 125 missileLightColor 1.0 0.25 0.25 As for the .efx, I simply renamed mp/small_fire_red.

Sorry, glow effect, like a sort of light that a blaster bolt usually emanates.

@@eezstreet (Update) Tried some stuff with weapons.dat, and it once again has a lighting effect as it flies by... The problem is either in the code or the efx.

@@Asgarath83 It happens to the best of us, don't worry. @@eezstreet Is there anything specific that I need to add to the weapons.dat, or ForceDestructionMissile?

Not everyone has an open mind about these kinds of things... Some people are passive, others are aggressive - Both drastically affect how people express themselves towards others, and how they interpret the information given to them.

Constructive criticism = Addressing someone as an asshole, while holding them at gunpoint. But on a more serious note, it can be addressing the flaws in someone's work, and then encouraging them to improve on their project (possibly in their free time), and to never stop trying.

None of the above seems to work either, and I already tried changing *ent to *self.

It's cool man, I'm in no hurry. And yes, it is doing it's own damages properly; All it's missing is it's own projectile FX (ex: concussion/shot ).
