Sometimes you need to camcreate two shells in the same place at the same time to make them explode.

i tried "HandGrenade" camcreate (getpos planename) and it didn't work, idk why...

[Rubble_Maker]

The object name is "GrenadeHand" not "HandGrenade"

camcreating non-existant objects can cause severe crashes, so be careful

Also, try these ammo types:

"SHELL120"
"HEAT120"
"LaserGuidedBomb"

lol i think someone with the proper authority should update kuro's weapon list then, because that's where i get all my weapon/mag names from

No, the weapon list is fine. That states the names of the magazines, not the names of the projectile.

The name of the magazine (as if you're adding it to a soldiers loadout) is "Handgrenade". The name of the projectile (after a grenade is thrown) is "GrenadeHand".

You just have to be careful of the differences
You can also try using "Grenade", which is a rifle launched grenade...

why didn't they just make the name something like Livegrenade so it was obvious what it was?

[Sui]

Well... I'd imagine it is obvious... to them

The thing you have to remember is that OFP was never meant to be a hugely editable game... so they really didn't make it with user friendly editing in mind ;D

So the command should be:

Code: [Select]

GrenadeHand" camcreate (getpos planename)
OR

Code: [Select]

"SHELL120" camcreate (getpos planename)
OR

Code: [Select]

"HEAT120 camcreate (getpos planename)
OR

Code: [Select]

"LaserGuidedBomb" camcreate (getpos planename)
