Summary0026006: only_fires_on_death XML tag does not work
DescriptionWorking on adding a Neinzul Youngling Firefly which does a lightning AOE on death.

There is a 'only_fires_on_death' tag, but setting it to true doesn't cause the associated weapon to trigger on death. It's still included in the Strength calculation, though.

I can work around this by having the firefly spawn a core on death, and having the core work like an autobomb and deal itself 100% of its health when it fires. But that's not gonna be super great for perf, I suspect.
TagsNo tags attached.

So, it looks like this was never fully implemented!

Could you set up your thing the way you want it to work, and post a save? I'll test that and get it working.

Right now it's still in a mod. Enable mod, start game vs Neinzul Enthusiast AI type, and use cmd:insta waves to trigger a wave. You should get a wave with a bunch of Fireflies. I have adjusted them to have massive radius and damage on their deathsplosion for debug purposes.

I think the Fireflies are in the main game now, no mod required to test this anymore.

Thanks! Got it working on my lightning warhead.

* Fixed an issue with how player units were scrapped that could cause them to not do their on-death effects. For warheads in particular, this was problematic, since (as in the first game), the main way of setting off the warhead is to scrap it.

* Fixed a further issue with only_fires_on_death not working because it thought the system was still cooling down (of course it was not, it has never fired by definition).
