Flak Shell Question

[Gnam]

Does anyone know what value in UT2004 controls how many flak chunks a shell (alt fire) releases on explosion? I would like to increase it.

I think it's the 6 in the for loop in this function:

simulated function Explode(vector HitLocation, vector HitNormal)
{
	local vector start;
	local rotator rot;
	local int i;
	local FlakChunk NewChunk;

	start = Location + 10 * HitNormal;
	if ( Role == ROLE_Authority )
	{
		HurtRadius(damage, 220, MyDamageType, MomentumTransfer, HitLocation);	
		for (i=0; i<6; i++)
		{
			rot = Rotation;
			rot.yaw += FRand()*32000-16000;
			rot.pitch += FRand()*32000-16000;
			rot.roll += FRand()*32000-16000;
			NewChunk = Spawn( class 'FlakChunk',, '', Start, rot);
		}
	}
	Destroy();
}

If you look at the code, it counts from 0 and ends before 6

0 is the first chunk
1 is the second
etc
5 is the last one, making 6 chunks.

I<6, change that 6 to the number highter of chunks you one. One weapon Im messing with right now is using 25 chunks.

Yeah, that's it. I tried it before, but I think I forgot to recompile before I tried to test it, so I thought it didn't work. Thanks.
