Filter weapon special in attack_anim

[white_haired_uncle]

I'm creating a suicide bomber. When it attacks on offense it explodes, killing itself and damaging all adjacent units for the attacker's hitpoints. I have all this working, but I can't get the sounds right. I want it to use explosion.ogg when the special is active, and lightning.ogg when it is not (on defense).

Bonus question: I'm looking for "explosion-miss.ogg", the sound of an explosive attack failing to ignite. It might be called fizzle.ogg. Anyone have anything FOSS?

Here is what I tried. I made up the [filter_attack] on special_id stuff by piecing together examples from other areas, I have no reason to believe it is correct, but ti was worth a shot.

Code: Select all

    [attack]
        name=shock
        description= _"shock"
        icon=attacks/lightning.png
        type=lightning
        range=melee
        damage=20
        number=1
        [specials]
            {WEAPON_SPECIAL_MAGICAL}
            {WEAPON_SPECIAL_EXPLOSIVE_DETONATION}
        [/specials]
    [/attack]

where

Code: Select all

#define WEAPON_SPECIAL_EXPLOSIVE_DETONATION
    [damage]
        id=explosive detonation
        name=_"explosive detonation"
        description=_"When used on offense, this attack causes the attacker to explode, killing it instantly.  All adjacent units will take damage of the weapon's type equal to the attacker's hitpoints."
        active_on=offense
        multiply=0
    [/damage]
#enddef

and

Code: Select all

    [attack_anim]
        [filter_attack]
            special_id=explosive detonate
        [/filter_attack]

Bonus question: I'm looking for "explosion-miss.ogg", the sound of an explosive attack failing to ignite. It might be called fizzle.ogg. Anyone have anything FOSS?

thunderstick-miss.ogg?
