1. If I wanted to make a high-impact bomb, would I make the velocity higher, or just the particle count (cause when I increased velocity the damage done went down in the tutorial bunder)?

2. I want the bomb to explode when I press fire, but when I do the actor tossed it first, even though I did "ActivateWhenReleased = 1", so how would I achieve that?

1. Give it particles that have low sharpness and high-ish mass (like 1) with high-ish velocity

2. "TriggerDelay" to 1 and "ActivateWhenReleased" to 1.

I think what he is saying is that he wants to be able to throw it, run away, then click to detonate it.

Oh. Well, you would need Lua for that. I'll make a script for you in about 14 hours if no one beats me to it.

You/he could just copy the detonator scripts in Coalition.rte\Devices\Weapons\Grenades.

What kinda particles do that?



I meant that I want to detonate it right away so that I don't even see the bomb being displaced.

Then Duh's CaveCricket's suggestion would work fine.MOPixels should do you fine.
Also remember that actors can only take so much impulse at once without gibbing, so if you want actors to be flying away from the explosion at high speed then you'll be needing Lua.

Think you mean CaveCricket.

Yes, yes I d~
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THAT SAID CAVECRICKET THIS ENTIRE TIME.
ALSO, IGNORE THE EDIT RECORD, THE FACT THAT I CROSSED OUT INSTEAD OF ERASED AND THE QUOTATION EVIDENCE ABOVE.

so, say, stone MOPixels would deal more damage than air blast MOPixels, or do they do the same damage?

they'll do the same HP damage, but are more likely to blow something apart (assuming high mass or some ♥♥♥♥)

which is more likely? stone or air?

well, the air blast mopixels weigh 3 kilos, so assuming the stone blast mopixels weigh more, they'd be more likely to rip someone apart. but from just piercing someone, exactly the same damage. wounds are currently a bit gimpy.

thx and new question:

If I wanted to rotate the bomb constantly while the robot is holding the bomb, what code would I need? When I give it frames and animate those they move only after robot tosses it.

why do you want it to do that? and if anything, SpriteAnimMode = 1 should work, but i dont think devices animate normally, though TDs might.
