Here's a damn odd request. I have an actor, I have a grenade, and I want to turn the actor into a live grenade.

I figured the best way to do this was:

Create the grenade
Set it at the position of the actor
Delete the actor
Light the grenade

Now unless there's a better method I'm unaware of, how do I go about activating the grenade?

What?

You want to transform the actor into a grenade? Or do you want to make the actor explode as if it was a grenade? Or you want to do both, turn your actor into a grenade and then blow it up?

You could make the actor create the grenade on it's function Destroy(self), and make the grenade have a lua script attached to it with a self:Activate() line in the function Create(self).

Sorry for the ambiguity, I want to keep this out of context so it doesnt spoil the surprise.

When an actor gets too close to the object this script is attached to, the actor becomes a live grenade. The actor is gone, and a live grenade is in his place, at his origin.


Anyway, you've answered my question already with Activate(). I couldn't find the page on the wiki. I'm pretty sure I can finish the rest by myself. Thanks <3

Heh, you are welcome.
