Its been a while since I Was this into the defs so "Ive got a problem

i'm creating the narn energy mine, so when it gets so close it a ship it will blow up and release about 12 sub objects

}

the problem is, it fires fine, but it will just track and hit the ship, it wont burst into 12 before then

also light seems to do nothing, i'm not seeing any light effects when its fired

nm got it
