 TDExplosive with Pinstrength viable? Hello again! Started a new mod for this version. Just wondering if anyone could help with this: I'm trying to make an explosive that gibs into a TDExplosive when it hits a surface; that TDExplosive has a Pinstrength, to make it stick to the wall, and a timer for it to detonate. I've run into a problem, though; when the TDExplosive is created, it stays still, but doesn't detonate. I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my code at the mo, but if you guys could help it would be awesome. Here's the WIP code for the TDExplosive. If you can't see any glaring errors, ask and I'll post up the .rte of what I've got so far. Code: AddAmmo = TDExplosive
InstanceName = WIP Bomb
Mass = 4
PinStrength = 10
RestThreshold = -500
HitsMOs = 1
GetsHitByMOs = 0
SpriteFile = ContentFile
FilePath = Flechette.rte/Images/WIPbomb.bmp
FrameCount = 1
SpriteOffset = Vector
X = -2
Y = -2
EntryWound = AEmitter
CopyOf = Dent Metal
ExitWound = AEmitter
CopyOf = Dent Metal
AtomGroup = AtomGroup
AutoGenerate = 1
Material = Material
CopyOf = Military Stuff
Resolution = 2
Depth = 0
DeepGroup = AtomGroup
AutoGenerate = 1
Material = Material
CopyOf = Military Stuff
Resolution = 4
Depth = 1
DeepCheck = 1
JointStrength = 6
JointStiffness = 0.5
DrawAfterParent = 1
DetonationSound = Sound
AddSample = ContentFile
Path = Base.rte/Sounds/Explode2.wav
StanceOffset = Vector
X = -12
Y = -5
StartThrowOffset = Vector
X = -12
Y = -5
EndThrowOffset = Vector
X = -12
Y = -5
TriggerDelay = 2000
ParticleNumberToAdd = 10
AddParticles = MOSParticle
CopyOf = Side Thruster Blast Ball 1
ParticleNumberToAdd = 10
AddParticles = MOPixel
CopyOf = Grenade Fragment Gray
ParticleNumberToAdd = 15
AddParticles = MOPixel
CopyOf = Grenade Fragment Yellow
ParticleNumberToAdd = 15
AddParticles = MOPixel
CopyOf = Air Blast
GibImpulseLimit = 5
AddGib = Gib
GibParticle = MOPixel
CopyOf = Flash Particle Yellow Big
Count = 1
Spread = 2.25
MaxVelocity = 0.1
MinVelocity = 0
InheritsVel = 0 Any help is appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Re: TDExplosive with Pinstrength viable? if it sticks sucessfully, will it stick to actors?, if so Make A Plasma Grenade, along with a Brute Spiker Grenade

Re: TDExplosive with Pinstrength viable? Well, I don't know whether Pinstrength applies to actors; I think it just keeps the thing stuck to where it's created.
Of course, at the moment nothing's happening because the TDE doesn't detonate. I think it just turns to scenery instantly, at the moment.

Re: TDExplosive with Pinstrength viable? Gibbed TDExplosive's don't detonate.

Re: TDExplosive with Pinstrength viable? ...
You don't get it do you?
He meant they explode properly when they hit things.
Not explode after being gibbed.

Re: TDExplosive with Pinstrength viable? Well, that is most likely because TDExplosives doesn't detonate via timer if they have been gibbed out. To solve this, you could attach an emitter which will emit an extremely heavy particle after a set amount of time, and making the GibImpulseLimit somewhat low... To attach an emitter, you need to go Code: AddEmitter = AEmitter
CopyOf = <Emitter name>
ParentOffset = Vector
X = 0
Y = 0 Edit: Damn, TrouserDemon said what i said D:

Re: TDExplosive with Pinstrength viable? Yesh, and remember the GibWoundLimit... And for gods sake, remember to define the gibs

Re: TDExplosive with Pinstrength viable? Okay, now I get a "Reader error" when I try to load up the mod. It seems to have a problem at line 114, which is the X = 1 line on Parent Offset.
EDIT: I AM STUPIDOR. I was missing the word "Vector".

Any reason that it should explode prematurely?

Re: TDExplosive with Pinstrength viable? I think I know.
You know how stuff emits even in the inventory now, and in dropships, and it builds up?
I reckon that the particle is emitted too early making it blow up prematurely.
Or it it's emitting, and gibbing, all inside the object it gibs from.
