JBOY Molotov Cocktail

I see no solution to the bottle (addon) problem.

Either you go with the Editor102 requirement for the mission, or ...

You make your own little config.cpp that configs the bottle (or several different bottles), then PBO it as a custom config addon which you can package with the mission, with instructions to throw it in Addons.

Planck,

I've never made a config.cpp addon.  Can you (or anyone) recommend a dead-simple single object addon somewhere that I could use as an example?

[Planck]

Here you go, this one works, I tried it in your mission after I edited the bottle class in your files.

Wow Planck, thanks a million!

It works beautifully.  My addon learning curve would have been very steep...so you really saved me tons of work.  Much appreciated.

Now back to my MP conversion hell on this...

 If  you cant select the bottle because it is protected or not even configed ,you could drop the shape of the bottle simply by pathing the p3d correctly, this will give you a random turning effect also i believe . not looked at your scripts but this maybe a way for you to achieve this without the need for an addon.

as for your Now back to my MP conversion hell on this.
 my own snowballers maybe similar to this and  they work in mp , look in addons and mods beta. feel free to abuse anything ya like in there regarding this.

Completely and utterly forgot you could always use it as a particle.

Would be ideal because then there would be no addon requirements..

This is a very good script, and very fun to use, EXCEPT
- Its not MP compatible!

i tryed to use it in one of my Afghan misions, and when one of us would throw a Molotov, only we could se our own molotov.
If you make it MP compatible itle be great!

Curatalo:  Glad you like the script.  I think its fun too!  I put many hours into trying to make it MP compatible, but failed.  I plan to post an improved SP version soon.

And maybe I will post my attempt at MP compatible version, but it has real problems still.  Very complex problem...for me anyway.

Hello.  Does anybody have my sample mission that was linked to the first post on this thread?

Please post it here or PM me if you have this script.  Thanks!
