In our stock game aircraft crashes are always the same, for every plane, every time. Absolutely unvarying. I have already introduced code to add more variation within the relevant methods, Explosions.AirDrop_Land() and Explosions.AirDrop_Water(). Method Aircraft.doExplosion() calls these methods in Explosions.class. I have recently added more functionality here, as well, by invoking other effects in 6 other methods in Explosions.class. Two of these methods (ExplodeAmmo() and ExplodeAmmoSmall()) are my own inventions.

Furthermore, I check for the number of engines and the vertical velocity at impact, and use the latter as a scaler for the probability of invoking the effects (if a first randomized check is first true.) The effects invoked here beyond the basic "AirDrop_" and "ExplodeFuel" methods do not occur always; there is a random chance of their invocation. This adds yet more variety and unpredictability of the result of a crash.


STOCK Aircraft.doExplosion()

Code: [Select]

protected void doExplosion()
{
if(FM.Loc.z < Engine.cur.land.HQ_Air(FM.Loc.x, FM.Loc.y) + (double)(FM.Length / 2.0F))
{
World.cur();
if(World.land().isWater(FM.Loc.x, FM.Loc.y))
Explosions.AirDrop_Water(FM.Loc);
else
Explosions.AirDrop_Land(FM.Loc);
} else
{
Explosions.ExplodeFuel(FM.Loc);
}
}
