Explosion type (see below)

This opcode creates an explosion at a coordinates point. These are real explosions so they make sounds, cause damage, and shake the camera. Different explosion types produce different sound effects and have different ranges in which the sound of the explosion can be heard. Opcode 0565 creates the same visual explosion without sounds.
