They work great except that when I place them, they always face to the right. I want them to be so that they are facing the same direction that they are thrown and they blast in that direction. Here's the .ini file for the Claymore: Code: AddMOSRotating = MOSRotating PresetName = Particle Active Claymore Sharpness = 0 Mass = 1.6 HitsMOs = 0 GetsHitByMOs = 0 ScriptPath = Explosives.rte/Devices/Explosives/ClaymoreSet.lua SpriteFile = ContentFile FilePath = Explosives.rte/Devices/Explosives/Claymore.bmp FrameCount = 1 SpriteOffset = Vector X = -3 Y = -4 AtomGroup = AtomGroup AutoGenerate = 1 Material = Material CopyOf = Military Stuff Resolution = 1 Depth = 0 DeepGroup = AtomGroup AutoGenerate = 1 Material = Material CopyOf = Military Stuff Resolution = 4 Depth = 6 DeepCheck = 0 GibSound = Sound AddSample = ContentFile FilePath = Base.rte/Sounds/Explode2.wav AddGib = Gib GibParticle = MOPixel CopyOf = Glow Explosion Huge Count = 1 Spread = 0.5 MaxVelocity = 0.1 MinVelocity = 0 InheritsVel = 0 AddGib = Gib GibParticle = MOSParticle CopyOf = Side Thruster Blast Ball 1 Count = 10 Spread = 0.5 MinVelocity = 50 MaxVelocity = 75 AddGib = Gib GibParticle = MOPixel CopyOf = Grenade Fragment Gray Count = 15 Spread = 3.1 MinVelocity = 50 MaxVelocity = 60 AddGib = Gib GibParticle = MOPixel CopyOf = Grenade Fragment Yellow Count = 15 Spread = 0.5 MinVelocity = 50 MaxVelocity = 60 AddGib = Gib GibParticle = MOPixel CopyOf = Grenade Fragment Yellow PresetName = Remote Explosive Door Buster LifeTime = 10 Count = 75 Spread = 0.5 MinVelocity = 60 MaxVelocity = 70 AddGib = Gib GibParticle = MOPixel CopyOf = Air Blast InstanceName = Remote Explosive Air Blast AirResistance = 0.2 Count = 120 Spread = 0.5 MinVelocity = 250 MaxVelocity = 320 AddGib = Gib GibParticle = MOSParticle CopyOf = Explosion Smoke 1 Count = 15 Spread = 3.1 MaxVelocity = 20 MinVelocity = 0 LifeVariation = 0.50 InheritsVel = 1 AddGib = Gib GibParticle = MOSParticle CopyOf = Explosion Smoke 2 Count = 10 Spread = 3.1 MaxVelocity = 15 MinVelocity = 0 LifeVariation = 0.50 InheritsVel = 1 AddDevice = TDExplosive PresetName = Claymore AddToGroup = Bombs Description = Manually placed directional-blast C4 explosives that are automatically set to operate on your team's frequency.

Try using this for the ClaymoreDeploy script: Code: function Create(self) self.alliedTeam = -1; end function Update(self) if self.ID ~= self.RootID then local actor = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(self.RootID); if MovableMan:IsActor(actor) then self.alliedTeam = ToActor(actor).Team; end end if self:IsActivated() and self.ID == self.RootID then local explosive = CreateMOSRotating("Particle Active Claymore"); explosive.Pos = self.Pos; explosive.Vel = self.Vel; explosive.RotAngle = self.Vel.AbsRadAngle; explosive.Sharpness = self.alliedTeam; MovableMan:AddParticle(explosive); self.ToDelete = true; end end The line that was changed was explosive.RotAngle = self.RotAngle; to explosive.RotAngle = self.Vel.AbsRadAngle;

Hmm, I tried replacing that line with the one you changed, and now when I throw a claymore to the left, it's upside-down and the blast still goes to the right. How I'd like it is for the image to be flipped horizontally when thrown to the left (and rotated based on up/down direction), and for the blast to go in the direction the claymore is facing. Do you know how to do this? Thanks.

After a bit of testing, it seems that the velocity of gibs no longer appear to rotate with the parent object, which is odd. Here's showing that the mines are rotating properly: With this modified script (ClaymoreSet.lua) (red lines not included): Code: function Create(self) self.actionPhase = 0; self.stuck = false; self.alliedTeam = self.Sharpness; self.Sharpness = 0; if coalitionC4TableA == nil then coalitionC4TableA = {}; coalitionC4TableB = {}; end self.tableNum = #coalitionC4TableA+1; coalitionC4TableA[self.tableNum] = self; coalitionC4TableB[self.tableNum] = self.alliedTeam; end function Update(self) if self.Sharpness == 0 then self.ToDelete = false; self.ToSettle = false; elseif self.Sharpness == 1 then self.ToDelete = true; elseif self.Sharpness == 2 then self:GibThis(); end if self.actionPhase == 0 then local rayHitPos = Vector(0,0); local rayHit = false; for i = 1, 15 do local checkPos = self.Pos + Vector(self.Vel.X,self.Vel.Y):SetMagnitude(i); local checkPix = SceneMan:GetMOIDPixel(checkPos.X,checkPos.Y); if checkPix ~= rte.NoMOID then checkPos = checkPos + SceneMan:ShortestDistance(checkPos,self.Pos,SceneMan.SceneWrapsX):SetMagnitude(3); self.target = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(checkPix); self.stickpositionX = checkPos.X-self.target.Pos.X; self.stickpositionY = checkPos.Y-self.target.Pos.Y; self.stickrotation = self.target.RotAngle; local soundfx = CreateAEmitter("Remote Explosive Sound Activate"); soundfx.Pos = self.Pos; MovableMan:AddParticle(soundfx); self.stuck = true; rayHit = true; break; end end if rayHit == true then self.actionPhase = 1; else if SceneMan:CastStrengthRay(self.Pos,Vector(self.Vel.X,self.Vel.Y):SetMagnitude(15),0,rayHitPos,0,0,SceneMan.SceneWrapsX) == true then self.Pos = rayHitPos + SceneMan:ShortestDistance(rayHitPos,self.Pos,SceneMan.SceneWrapsX):SetMagnitude(3); self.PinStrength = 1000; self.AngularVel = 0; self.stuck = true; self.actionPhase = 2; local soundfx = CreateAEmitter("Remote Explosive Sound Activate"); soundfx.Pos = self.Pos; MovableMan:AddParticle(soundfx); end end elseif self.actionPhase == 1 then if self.target ~= nil and self.target.ID ~= 255 then self.Pos = self.target.Pos + Vector(self.stickpositionX,self.stickpositionY):RadRotate(self.target.RotAngle-self.stickrotation); self.PinStrength = 1000; self.Vel = Vector(0,0); else self.PinStrength = 0; self.actionPhase = 0; end end end function Destroy(self) coalitionC4TableA[self.tableNum] = nil; coalitionC4TableB[self.tableNum] = nil; end Despite this not working, things that use directional blasts like the Ronin RPG-7 still work, so I'm a bit confused. Only thing I can suggest is either using the same explosion style as the RPG-7 (one of the gibs is an emitter that launches the damage particles), or using an emitter for the damage particles and spawning it with Lua when the mine is detonated.
