[SCR] [LU] Explosion screen-shaking for Litcube Universe [v 0.1]

(Warning: this replaces ship.signal.killed from LU, so should not be used with any version of LU that has said file different from 1.5.2)

Just download it & unzip the file to x3/addon/scripts directory.


One should change Intensity for less shaking (150 may be a little bit high), and some magic numbers for the shake duration as well. Should depend on ship sizes (both dying & player), and should not generate anything for little drones/astronauts/whatever.

I didn't do the damage yet, since I'm more interested in visual effects, and playership is the only ship affected for now.

P.s. all the credits, of course, should go to author of LIFE mod.

Awesome thank you. What about the explosion radius and damage though?.

[nekoexmachina]

Explosion radius depends on the size of exploding ship; damage is not yet done.
What do you think about dmg btw: does it make sense to damage hull directly, without damaging shields?

[gastovski]

Nah, damaging to shields must be priority because in huge conflicts things getting messy and you know in LU your equipment won't be destroyed while getting hull damage so it's pointless imo.

[Phraggah]

It really sucks that the shaking prevents you from moving!

How can I change the shake duration?

I cant find this link anywhere on the internet. Unless OP updates this mod may be lost to time.
