[1.6.4] Bigger Explosions

[ASHninja1997]

Hello!

 

Basically, I am trying to create a bigger explosion when my TNT goes off, but I can't seem to get it to work correctly.

I just need to make a much larger explosion. Looks like a simple thing that's right in front of me, I just can't see it.

 

 

private void explode()

    {

    float f = 50.0F;

            this.worldObj.createExplosion(this, this.posX + 50D, this.posY + 50D, this.posZ + 50D, f, true);

    }

Has it occurred to you that you offset your explosion point from where the TNT actually sits?

[ASHninja1997]

! Yeah, I noticed that, but the weird thing is that The explosion still occurs where the TNT exploded. Also, if the offset wasn't there and the explosion occurred exactly where the TNT exploded I still can't seem to make a bigger explosion.

 

I thought you made the explosion bigger by changing the Float value.

But as I said before, I am still very new to this.

I couldn't imagine how long it took you to get to your experience level.

The vanilla explosion class has a lot of hard-coded behaviors, for example, the maximum limit it will search for blocks is limited to 16, though increasing the radius should certainly affect how many blocks get destroyed.

 

Try your explosion again without the offset position and see if you don't blast a giant hole in the ground. If not, you may need to write your own custom explosion code to get the behavior you need.

Ok, so I found the Explosion.Class in the net. minecraft.world package and looked at it. I remade my explosion method and it still didn't make a bigger explosion.

How exactly would you increase the radius of the explosion so that it is bigger.

 

Here is what I have so far.

 

 

private void explode()

    {

    float f = 16.0F;

        new Explosion(worldObj, this, this.posX, this.posY, this.posZ, f);

        //new Explosion(worldObj, riddenByEntity, entityRiderPitchDelta, entityRiderPitchDelta, entityRiderPitchDelta, f);

    }

 

 

I am open to any suggestions .

See that f=16 part?

 

That makes the explosion bigger.

If nothing is changing and you are using TNT, are you sure your explosion code is getting called and not the regular TNT explosion code?

Ok. So I got some things to work...Still working on it though..... If I can't get something to work I will come back here. But, I think I solved the problem. I will tell you if I have.
