Self-destruct
From FreeSpace Wiki
self-destruct Self destruct (Action operator) Causes the specified ship(s) to self destruct. Takes 1 or more arguments... All: Name of ship to self destruct.
- The self-destruct SEXP immediately sets a ship's health to zero.
- This triggers the ship's destruct animation rather than making the ship disappear, if that is what you meant to do, there are better SEXPs (ship-vanish).
- Self-destruct will not always trigger the (is-destroyed-delay "Ship that self-destructs") SEXP tree, so it is safer to circumvent it by using the (is-event-true-delay "Event that triggers self-destruct").
