make your throwing knife a regular tdexplosive with an infinite triggerdelay

on impact it gibs into a globalaccscalar = 0 mosrotating with the following code

function Create(self)
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
local curdist = 50;
local dist = SceneMan:ShortestDistance(self.Pos,actor.Pos);
if dist.Magnitude < curdist then
self.target = actor;
self.RotAngle = dist.Direction; --not actually sure if this works
end
end
if self.target then
self.diffx,self.diffy = self.target.Pos.X - self.Pos.X,self.target.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y;
end
end

function Update(self)
if MovableMan:IsActor(self.target) == true then
self.Pos.X = self.target.Pos.X - self.diffx;
self.Pos.Y = self.target.Pos.Y - self.diffy;
end
end

should work but it's all untested pseudocode so don't expect it to

and the comment is in there because sceneman.shortestdistance returns a polar vector, one of the arguments for which is magnitude, but I'm not sure if the other is .Dir or .Direction (it should be both but hey, who knows)

dist.Direction should be dist.AbsRadAngle methinks.

I've been slacking because of lack of Lua knowledge, though now that Grif has donated some code I can try to put something together.

For some reason it refuses to work, but here it is for now.

Thanks, Lafe but I'd rather just have it kill instantly rather than gibbing and spraying blood everywhere.
EDIT: By the way once they're done, could you make them a gun so you don't run out of them?

Correct me if I'm wrong but would you be able to do some copy/paste of some scripts in other bombs? Like the stick grenades in the ronin faction. You could copy that and then just add all the sparkle magic you need to. Would that make you be able to throw them?? :???:

Possibly. I got everything other than the sparkle magics to work, so we'll have to see.
I'll have to go over the Lua some more to see what is wrong since the console isn't giving me any errors.

Yeah that is very possible. Let me make you a throwing knife.

You DO realize that the last post in this topic was 6 months ago? I think any interest in this would have died by now.
