Double explosion
-
try a search through the archive. dunno the exact syntax anymore but there is an impulse block for fuses, where you can define a (non visual) wave throwing away mass. a parameter of that is the damage value, too, so you can make it not throw anything but just damage all objects within a certain range, defined in the impulse section, too.

found it , pretty simple :
[fuse]
name = mine_experimental_fuse
lifetime = 0.1
death_fuse = true[impulse]
at_t = 0.300000
hardpoint = HpMount
pos_offset = 0, 0, 0
radius = 30
force = 0
damage = 1500[impulse]
at_t = 0.600000
hardpoint = HpMount
pos_offset = 0, 0, 0
radius = 30
force = 28000000
damage = 1500[destroy_root]
at_t = 1.000000easier than what i made first time.
I can add an explosion impulse effect too , at the last “boom” -
Do fuses work on projectiles?
-
I remember an old video where someone made an explosion that generated explosions. I’m pretty sure the initial start of the explosion was a torpedo hit. If that’s true, then I have to say, that’s pretty neat. It never occurred to me to try and use a fuse for a projectile explosion. That could come in handy.

I don’t think you can use fuses on projectiles.
Spawning explosions from an explosion is doable, but only the first explosion actually registers damage as far as I can remember.

This is just theory what i wrote , i didn`t tested .
I must finish first all system resize, meanwhile i draw in large lines the plan for future add-ons .
I need some diverse weapons for different factions i will add and i come to this idea - a mine with full damage (shield + hull) . -

You just reminded me what the video I mentioned earlier was about. It was related to the problem you specifically mentioned. It was a video showing a torpedo explosion that shot off debris that exploded and shot off more debris and so on. It was unrelated to fuses entirely. I’ve never tested adding fuses to projectiles, so you’re probably right.

You can create a weapon, which destroys a shielded object
by adding ‘normal damage’ plus an explosion like[Motor]

It’s an old thing we use since long time 4 admin weapons
Don’t remember who 1st came up with it.
Backdraw:
Kill in 1 shot is only possible with a direct hit.

Yes , i know about the gun + explosion , i made those too for new fancy weapons , but i made a gun type not missile , and this one have problems also : when fire sometimes , the bullet come out and stops for about 4 seconds and then go normally with speed .
The freeze reminds me the scenes from Matrix :)) .
Also when add weapons with explosion , seeker DUMB / LOCK must be added , otherwise the [explosion] won`t work and more , if there is a debris type explosion , freelancer crash without seeker .
But adding seeker disables auto-fire and adds this strange behavior of the bullet.
This problems maybe because of multiplayer (server calculates trajectory ) ? -
That is exactly what F!R wrote .
I know about those , i thinked long time ago about this , in the days that i played freelancer on other servers with altered .ini files , long time ago when security wasnt so important . And i remember why i quit so fast and didnt wanted to play anymore , cheats ruins all games and is nothing good in this .
So i saw there is no method to make the 2 explosion damage mine (or missile).
A big issue in my opinion is the shields system - normally for example if you hit with 500 damage and target ship has left only 250 shield points it was naturally to supress shield and take 250 hull damage , but in freelancer first time i saw this anomaly .
