 How do I make a grenade/rocket/flame launcher? Hello Modding Community!

How do I make a grenade or a rocket launcher ._.'
Total Newb here, so don't give me the "Set the emmiter to TXB_Grenade_0x14x" etc... ._.'

Re: How do I make a grenade/rocket/flame launcher? It's very simple, just set the emmiter to TXB_Grenade_0x14x.
Jokes aside, if you already know how to make any other pixel shooting gun (which I suppose you know how to do since you are asking for something more complex), all you have to do is define an emitter and set it as the round. Defining emitters isn't hard, look for the definition of emitters (the emitter of the dummy Destroyer isn't cluttered and easy to read).
For grenade launchers, you just define a TDExplosive instead and set it as the round. Flamethrowers are a tad more complicated since you have to do the famous emitter trick, which is create a very short lived emitter that emits all the particles you want (like the smoke/flame effects and some damaging pixels). You could also use Lua, but the emitter trick is more interesting and more helpful to know in the long run.

Re: How do I make a grenade/rocket/flame launcher? The most vital point, though- look at existing examples of what you want to make. The Browncoats have sort-of flamethrowers (though if you want to set actors on fire, this will be more challenging!) and there are plenty of rocket, missile, and grenade launchers floating around already.
Once you have the framework in place all you need to do is finetune the various variables like gib count, projectile velocity, and so on.

Re: How do I make a grenade/rocket/flame launcher? The flame effect from my Brolands guns work pretty well on normal sized humanoid actors, you can probably salvage that if you want.

Re: How do I make a grenade/rocket/flame launcher? Thank you all, gonna try this :3 I'm pretty good at salvaging from the Vanilla, haven't tried a blank slate yet so that's great xD I actually made a plasma sniper rifle...But Emitters seem a tad complicated...Gonna try it tho  Why do I need the 0x14x part?

Re: How do I make a grenade/rocket/flame launcher? What do you mean by can't get it to work? The game crashes? It appears in game as some other item? You need to be more specific for us to help, blindly guessing takes too long

Re: How do I make a grenade/rocket/flame launcher? Sorry xD Forgot to add the error. The game crashes, I suspect it has something to do with the Techion plasma particle... When I Deleted that it worked, but I need the grenade to spawn the bullet or else it's just another GermanGrenadeA
