If an actor has its arms removed while "charging" a grenade throw, the reticle remains in place for the rest of the life of the actor.

that sounded like a horror sci-fi researcher's findings.

Makes me think of a war movie or something:
"Poor bastard. It hit him so hard that he had his reticle burned into his sight for the rest of his life..."

So, a fun new extension of the glitch: switching to and holding a shield in your BG hand while you have AWR = 1 grenades in your inventory activates them all.

I'm not making this up.

Necroing this thread because, by god, I thought this would be fixed in B23. I'm pretty disappointed. Could I possibly get some kind of confirmation that this bug (or rather, this collection of bugs surrounding hand-held TDExplosives) will be worked on in the future? Because I'm not sure if it's just been forgotten or what.

Maybe this is just my personal philosophy as a programmer, but fixing current bugs tends to be more important than adding new features.

On another note, grenades should be more hardy. I noticed that stepping on grenades, therefore crushing and destroying them, results in them blowing up automatically. Also, dropping grenades from your ship also sometimes causes them to explode at random.

Well, this is more of a design issue than an actual bug. Any modder could just make a variable bigger and avert this. It's just the vanilla content isn't set up that way for some reason.

Though I agree, it is kinda annoying.

its more that having deepgroups on grenades is asking for someone to place them on the ground and then sit on them to dig through metal. currently that just blows your guy's ass off. its not really a gibimpulselimit thing so much as a getting-forced-inside-terrain-makes-stuff-gib thing.
you could fix this with lua though. :)

I'll add ticket for that to Data, that should put things in place.

For now, if you want to prevent grenades from exploding in your face, I found that removing completely the "ActivatesWhenReleased" variable helps.

Just as long as it's all ticketed...
