I tried different values for bounce, friction, stickiness and such but i always find a case in wich it explodes upon contact with terrain, and it always explodes when hitting actors no matter what.

What you can do is have a TD that is fired from your gun, that gibs into a TD with a Pinstrength of something above 1. That way, it will always look like it sticks, when it really explodes into a pinned one.

Oh, you'd need some serious heavy duty lua there to get it to stick to moving objects realistically. Which is probably out of your realm of possibility for your current modding ability. Either get someone else to do it for you, learn lua, or stick with what you've got.

They fire a dart which (I think) sticks to what it hits, or it might create a fake wound. Either way, you'd have to strip out the poison code, and adapt the rest for your purposes. Here.
