SIM Freeze on activation of PBAOE weapon

So recently I did this to the wall in a mod of mine and I'm getting a SIM freeze. I probably am doing something wrong but whatever I'm doing wrong, it shouldn't be freezing the sim.

I'm using the old wall papas, which is why some fields are outdated.

Code:

}

Code:

{

  "auto_attack": true,
  "firing_arc_pitch": 360,
  "firing_arc_yaw": 360,

Code:

{
  "ammo_type": "PBAOE",
  "sim_fire_effect": "",
  "splash_damage": 0,
  "splash_damages_allies": false,
  "splash_radius": 0
}

Whenever the PBAOE weapon activates, the SIM freezes permanently.

Add "damage_volume":{"initial_radius":0} .

Didn't fix it...

Found the problem. Decals aren't accepting a blank field. @bgolus

Well, I guess you can don't use base_structure.json as base spec.

@mkrater Care to pass this along?

Have you tried removing the field instead of leaving it blank?

Then I get decals.

That would be because it inherits them from somewhere else?

remove it from base_structure too
