door breaching

[Scarecrow 0]

Hi,

I'm sorry if this has been covered but I do not see it addressed and it's 4am where I am.

okay- a grenade will open a door and a direct hit from a rocket or shell will shatter it, but how do I make a m4-masterkey breach doors with the shotgun half?

is it an issue of the prj file's "damage thru walls" setting, an issue tied to explosions, or is it a simple damage issue, like the dor has a limited HP?

any reply would be appreciated thank you.

has to be the right explosion type.. doors don't have hit points unfortunately.

okay we're off to a good start, this explosion type is in the prj file? and if I adjust this to say, match a grenade, will it then attach a grenade's explosion effect and or blast radius to my door breaching attempt? I don't feel like wiping out my support team when they go indoors

Ive not tried this myself but this thread set me thinking

Give the Shotgun a projectile,

Try setting the projectile fired by the shotgun to have a 0.1 m radius effect, with the appropiate explosion effect set up in the projectile.

It will proably be a big blast with a very small damage effect - but enough to destroy doors.

Thats my guess anyway - Im gonna try it out myself - will keep you informed

I believe prj's can be setup to have no visual explosion effect. You may not have to have a blast radius at all. Just check the box that says dentonate on impact.
