What exactly is splashdamage ?

I know the quake3 engine has a field called ‘splashdamage’.

What exactly is splashdamage ?

Damage because of bullet impacts ?
Damage because of explosions ?

Splashdamage is like Splatterdamage :slight_smile:

Take a Q3 rocket for example. A direct hit inflicts 100 points of damage. A hit nearby, however, can also damage you, depending on how far away you are from the point of damage. That’s supposedly the splash of shrapnal, fragments, debris, and concussive force :wink:

I get so many kills from the splash of nades :smiley:

You don’t have the choice to kill someone with the splash of a nade, since there is no direct damage.

In RTCW, there were two forms of grenade death. Grenade, and Grenade Splash. Panzerfaust also had Rocket and Rocket Splash.
