Set a subent to do this, and nothing's happening.

TIA

Did Smivs or CSOTB not produce an OXP which should do this? I've not tried either of them, but

1) Smivs: Battle Damage OXP

2) CSOTB: Custom Shields OXP

I think it may only trigger when the main entity gets close to death, I'm not sure its sub-entites health levels counts

Could you not get whatever it is close to death an then keep it there?

energyRechargeRate for example is read/write for scripting if it were made very high once energy got low enough to throw sparks then you could induce the effect. There are probably a few ways to create the initial 'damage' to bring it to such a state.

As for the object becoming too tough, you could add a counter for damage received. Once that gets to whatever value you choose then Kaboom...

If it can't work with subents then this wouldn't fix that but it could test it.
