Mehman uses .lua scripts which spawns the 'explosion' on 'destruction' of the pixel, which imo is the best option. I use a more simple method of using an AEmitter to fire the bullet, as well as a small MOSRotating which gibs on impact. If you use the AEmitter method you can also make shiny smoke effects and stuff.

Maybe you could post a sample code and an explanation.

You don't need to be. So, on your bullet, we'll attach a script to it, telling it to explode after some complex mathematical stuff sorts itself out. This will be your explosion. in your weapon code, add something along the lines of this too it: Code: AddActor = AEmitter PresetName = Exploshn Mass = 0.50 Sharpness = 1 HitsMOs = 1 GetsHitByMOs = 1 SpriteFile = ContentFile FilePath = Base.rte/Null.bmp FrameCount = 1 SpriteOffset = Vector X = -1 Y = -1 AtomGroup = AtomGroup AutoGenerate = 1 Material = Material CopyOf = Metal Resolution = 1 Depth = -1 OrientToVel = 1.00 EmissionEnabled = 1 EmissionsIgnoreThis = 0 AddEmission = Emission EmittedParticle = MOSParticle CopyOf = Tiny Smoke Ball 1 ParticlesPerMinute = 6000 StartTimeMS = 0 Spread = 2.25 MaxVelocity = 0 MinVelocity = 0 PushesEmitter = 0 // ^ not sure what for... //Add Gibs here GibImpulseLimit = 200 GibWoundLimit = 1 Just put it after the gun if you want. Don't forget to add Gibs to it. If you're stuck just use the dummy grenade launcher Gibs or something. This is Mehman's script (forgive me Mehman). Code: function Create(self) end function Update(self) local ray = SceneMan:CastObstacleRay(self.Pos , self.Vel1.05TimerMan.DeltaTimeSecsFrameMan.PPM , Vector() , Vector() , self.ID , 0 , 1); if ray > 0 or self.ToDelete == true then local lr = CreateAEmitter("Your Explosion Emitter"); -- Place the name of your explosion here. lr.Pos = self.Pos+((self.Vel/125)ray); lr.Vel = Vector(0,0); MovableMan:AddMO(lr); lr:GibThis(); self.ToDelete = true; end end It creates an explosion (the AEmitter) on impact. Don't forget to insert the name of the explosion AEmitter inside the quotation marks. If you place that code in a new text document then save as -> all types, and add the extension .lua on the end of the file name, your script is ready. Anyway, find the bullet you want to explode, and add the line: Code: ScriptPath = YourMod.rte/YourFoldersAndStuff/ThatLuaFileYouMadeBefore.lua With a tab in front. You can place it anywhere in the bullet's slab of code, but it's easiest if it's under the PresetName or something. Uuh. I think I forgot something. Too tired. Have a play around with that and see what happens. ~~Oh and welcome to the forums and modding and stuff.~~ Saw join date.

Thank you very much..that was a ton of help i just wanted to see what it looked like in code and now ive got it, thank you.

the problem.
