Post subject: Proximity

I am trying to set the ships so that they cannot fire a bomb an enemy ship is within 10 tiles. The settings seem to suggest I can do this but it doesnt seem to work. It only limits the bomb fire if the enemy ship is overlaying mine. Can u help. these are the bomb settings.

[Bomb]
BBombDamagePercent=1000
BombAliveTime=1000
BombDamageLevel=700
BombExplodeDelay=1000
BombExplodePixels=80
BombSafety=1
EBombDamagePercent=1000
EBombShutdownTime=500
JitterTime=20
ProximityDistance=10

proximity distance is suppose to be tiles right?

Proximity is how close an enemy ship needs to be to trigger the detonation timer and logic.

@Ekted: With BombSaftey=1, the bomb shouldn't fire within prox radius.

But, I have no clue what might be going wrong.

Not sure. Maybe it's only within ship radius. Try experimenting with that.
