Hey all,

Been playing around with an EE3 I dusted off from storage. I've always been meaning to ask about the "damage radius" attribute for it.

Am I to take it that anyhostiles within 3.0m (the vaule of the damage radius attribute) of the intended target will take damage even from a nomral shot?

Thanks

Doesn't work, except of course when you're using a cone-area attack, but those work with any gun.

Cone-area attacks must be very carefully used...

Just last night I accidentally used FullAutoArea on two creatures and ended up hitting the lair some 20m behind it...

Needless to say, we had a large amount of angry things on top of us very quickly...

If the EE3 always had a cone effect, I would have to be very careful about when I used it.

hmmm, I see what you're saying and have also experienced that cone area snafu effect myself on a lair.

But is the damage radius attribute for the EE3intended to mean cone area of effect? Or justa 3m radius from around the intended target?

Hmm, can't say I know one way or the other.

Cone affects designate the weapon is shooting multiple shots at your target, dispersed angularly.

Target-radius affects are like splash-damage from an explosion...

Would seem a bit odd to have almost ten feet of splash damage from a blaster bolt though...
