A_Detonate and the Suicide Bomber

[ViolentBeetle]

I'm pretty bad at reading DeHackEd patches but I want to copy kamikazes as well in the future for MBF21 pack. What exactly should I use to trigger their suicide attack? Might as well ask the expert.

I was advised using A_Die, is this going to work?

An explosion that does several tics of 1 damage in a 2048+ radius. And the audio of the explosion is someone making a really bad pun.

Would radius that big actually work or would it run into blockmap issues or something?

Sort of a tangent, but A_Detonate is limited in its usefulness because it reuses the same number for both values, since 128 damage is already a shitton and it's not possible to create a larger explosion without also cranking up the damage to ludicrous values.

 

Fortunately, if you've got access to A_Detonate you've probably also got MBF21's A_RadiusDamage (or some equivalent) available too, which lets you customize each value separately, as God and/or the Devil intended.

Yeah, but the only way to use mbf21 is through decohack, right? No whacked support as of yet.
