Damaging explosions

[coolpotatoes]

My idea is to cause the pylon to create a big explosion damaging everything around it when it dies. I modified gausserifle1 in weapons.dat to make it explosive. Then gave the pylon an attack iscript without any attack commands. Then modified the death script. One of 3 things happens
1. It works (so far only when I kill the comps pylon):D
2. The pylon explodes with the emp shockwave graphic without hurting anything (usually when I kill my own plylon):rolleyes:
3. The game crashes (only happened 1X):cry:
Here is the iscript (imgol 555,556 is the emp shockwave, 117 is gaussrifle1)

You should replace the goto pylongndattkinit with gotorepeatattk (or something like that). Also, the use weapon only works if there are some enemy in the range (that is why only enemy pylons hurt you). You may can do it with the usage of the sigorder (i meant i can only see possiblities in that, couz i don't know what it exactly does). You may can use the nuclear missile damage properties and/or iscript. I will try.
