Anyone remember the early missions on Red Alert where you could shoot a fuel barrel and blow up a load of reds? Now you can have exploding barrels of your very own in NWN (or any other placeable of your choice if you change the appearance). Create explosive placeables that the PC can light with a match! Create a dungon where using fire magic is certain death! Recreate Guy Fork�s Night! Create spectacular chain reactions! A great way to blow up an obstacle in your way! The barrels can be lit with a match item. After doing so there�s a 5 second countdown before they explode. On exploding the deal 1d20 of fire damage and 1d20 of buldnoing damage (due to flying debris) to all creatures in a 10m radius. Placeables are immediately destroyed (except static ones) and other barrels are exploded. Barrels can also be exploded by damaging them with fire.

Hmmmm... I am starting to regret making it into a useable item as well, bought at stores by PC's and placed in natural areas.. meh.. you still get your bang per buck.. 8) _________________________ -eyeballkid-

Does exactly what it says and does it very well. Definitely adds a great tactical element to a module. Another one of those features that should have been a part of NWN from the start.

Rich of Forumite,
When did we discover dragons, magic missle, or holy avengers either? Maybe it isn't a match but a really really weak and small Fireball spell? Ever think of that!?

To Blade_Unlimited:
Adding an electricity effect shouldn?t be hard. In the file exp_onused in function main() just add the following lines.
void main()
{
object oUser=GetLastUsedBy();
//New Line
effect eVFXElectricity=EffectVisualEffect(VFX_FNF_ELECTRIC_EXPLOSION);
if(GetIsInInventoryByTag("match",oUser))
{
object oMatch=GetItemInInventoryByTag("match",oUser);
SpeakString("You light a fuse...");
DelayCommand(1.0,SpeakString("5..."));
DelayCommand(2.0,SpeakString("4..."));
DelayCommand(3.0,SpeakString("3..."));
DelayCommand(4.0,SpeakString("2..."));
DelayCommand(5.0,SpeakString("1..."));
//New Line
DelayCommand(5.0,ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT,eVFXElectricity,OBJEC
T_SELF));
DelayCommand(6.0,ExecuteScript("exp_detonate",OBJECT_SELF));
DestroyObject(oMatch);
}
else
{
SpeakString("This barral seems to be full of explosives. There is a fuse that you could light if you had a match, though any fire might also set it off.");
}
}
It should work, though I haven?t had time to check the visual effect. VFX_FNF_ELECTRIC_EXPLOSION sounded likely but it might turn out to be completely inappropriate, if it is just select the VFX_FNF_* constant to suit.
All: Yes perhaps it isn?t the most authentic script ever, but it wasn?t meant to be. It?s just a little bit of fun for those of use who are amused by big explosions :-)

Rich of Forumite,
Maybe because D&D doesn't take place in the middle ages. When exactly was adamantium discovered?

Urm..... Is it anything like this Vault Submission posted almost 2 years ago?

Great system, but I have a question. Since the match wasn't created until 1827AD, how is it that a PC from the middle ages would have a match? Phosphorous wasn't even discovered until the late 1600's.
