  Changing TDExplosive Variables on ActivationIs there a way to make grenades change their GibImpulseLimit, GetsHitByMOs and such when thrown as opposed to just on the ground?

Re: Changing TDExplosive Variables on Activation You can't change GibImpulseLimit, but you can change GetsHitByMOs. If you have something like:
Code: function Update(self) if self:IsActivated() == true then self.GetsHitByMOs = false; end end it will make the grenade GetsHitByMOs false/0 when the grenade is activated. |

Re: Changing TDExplosive Variables on Activation Also, can you replace the grenade with a new object when thrown? Maybe that'll solve not being able to change the gib values.

Re: Changing TDExplosive Variables on Activation Just make the grenade disappear and make another object spawn with the same stats
Code: function Update(self) if self:IsActivated() == true then NewObject = CreateMOPixel("Particle SMG2"); NewObject.Pos.X = self.Pos.X NewObject.Pos.Y = self.Pos.Y NewObject.Vel = self.Vel MovableMan:AddParticle(NewObject); self.ToDelete = true; end end You would change the name of the particle and class of it according to what you wanted to create but thats basically what you would do. Im sure CaveCricket has a more creative way to do it tho  Hope this helps |

Re: Changing TDExplosive Variables on Activation Thank you for the help. I'm basically trying to make safe grenades that don't explode until thrown.
Edit: I may need to change a few things, as the grenade I tested this on turned into several copies of the activated version, making it more like an overpowered cluster grenade. Double Edit: I can't seem to make it stop either. It apparently turns into an SMG perfectly, just not a TDExplosive. Does it copy the Lua script over to things it makes? Okay, I fixed it, I was using NewObject.Activate(); instead of NewObject:Activate(); Also, I must remember that "Does Not Equal" in Lua is ~= and not !=. |
