How to make, so that when shot, in a red barrel, it explodes and activates the object. I need that after the shot, the barrel explodes and activates the NPC. In global.lua, I did not find the explosion

The explosion is simply triggered by the 'health' of an explodable entity dropping to zero.

Place a script on the barrel which checks the health, when it drops to zero do the activate bit.

i.e. if g_Entity[e].health == 0 then

Can you attach your script so I can see if I can get it working?

Very similar to mine except I'm allowing for the situation when the health may not be exactly 0! (Lua uses floating point math so it is unlikely to be exactly 0 if the engine is subtracting a variable amount of damage).

In fact I think the barrel starts off with 25 health (or 'strength' in the menu for some reason) and an explosion subtracts a huge number so it is probably going negative.

Works fine) When the shot explodes. Then things fly apart and the big boss runs out
