so i wus playing around with some ones made that i downloaded (vins custom parts mod)and i found a gun called a sniper cannon but i noticed it had a fire chance thing and i wus wundering if its possibal if some one could help me cut that part of the code and splice it into what ever modded gun i need it for i wus just wundering this cuz i like playing with the fire Mackinac of the game and its just a pain to shoot the ship untill it sets on fire so i wus wundering if some one could give me the part of the code that makes stuff set on fire so i can make a gun that dose like no damge but sets every thing it touches on fire i would also LOVE to know where to put this potion of code that makes the thing set stuff on fire :3

lucifer2020 wundering if some one could give me the part of the code that makes stuff set on fire

It is associated with bullets and shots. Refer to vanilla examples like Canon large bullet at Cosmoteer installed folder
Data\shots\bullet_large\bullet_large.txt
Look for something like this

Hit
{
	...
	PenetratingOperational
	{
		HitEffects
		[
			...
			{
				Type = Fire
				FireChance = .4
			}
		]
		...
	}
}

In this case, chance of causing fire is one of the HitEffects associated with PenetratingOperational of a large canon bullet.

Creating own mod to realize your fiery vision is part of the fun. Happy investigating~

FireChance is the chance the weapon has of setting fire when a certain hit type is executed
