@Hex To Max So can I alter these presets from the ems file? Or is it entirely based on commands in-game???

eidonabramm 30 Jan @ 1:20pm

okay thanks do I also need to type sv_cheats 1?

Hex To Max [author] 29 Jan @ 1:05am

yes you have to at the first time but after that you can edit saved txt files directly being out of the game (path: \left4dead2\ems\hextomax_explosive_car\[command name].txt)

eidonabramm 28 Jan @ 10:08pm

Do i have to be in a game I host to use the commands.

Fuzee 23 Nov, 2023 @ 1:36am

the car's hp command doesn't work for some reason, it only says "unknown command"

OwO 1 Jun, 2023 @ 11:50am

i see, thanks Hex

Hex To Max [author] 31 May, 2023 @ 6:22pm

@OwO oh i forgot to mention about grenade launcher; use !excar_w_grenade_launcher

OwO 31 May, 2023 @ 4:06pm

is it possible to make a !excar_w_ for the grenade launcher?

Antonio 18 Mar, 2023 @ 11:01pm

@Hex To Max Thank you very much for clarifying, I enjoy it a lot! I don't know if I'm asking for much, even so it would be great if instead of pushing the survivors when causing the explosion, I took them flying according to the parameters configured as the alliermodders explosive cars

Hex To Max [author] 16 Mar, 2023 @ 11:31am

@Antonio use the commands in the section [Commands for performance] and u can also use the command !excar_w_pipe_blast and !excar_w_fire to reduce explosion/fire damage inflicted to cars
