//barrel explodes dealing damage to everything around it
//set-up:  paint an explosive barrel (or whatever).  Create a new faction for this barrel,
//and set the faction to hostile against everything, and everything friendly to it.  This 
//ensures that it can destroy the rock with the fireball, and that nothing will hit the 
//barrel except a PC.  Change the tag of the barrel to "barrel01" and set it's hit points
//to some high number
//
//
//place another object near it.  scale down that other object to a very small size and 
//place it "inside" of the barrel.  Change the tag of the object to "TARGET_barrel01".  
//Set the hit points of the object to 1.

//Make a script for the object as follows and place it in OnDeath:

Hi Morrolan,

Sorry I haven't checked this in a while. Anyway, as it is, this is pretty inefficient. The reason it is written like that is I was having trouble with the DestroyObject function. Of course, 6 months later and now that I'm a better scripter, this could be a lot better. But I think it gives someone new to scripting a pretty good idea of how to do it.

But, yeah, this is...whatever.

Looks very useful, but one quick noob question...

Why do you need an object as the target? Can you not just script it so the barrel itself is the target?

Thanks, and forgive my ignorance!
