Grenade Chucker

[Padiimiite]

Ok, what Im trying to accomplish here is to have a civ'y armed with a handgrenade lob it into a group of soldiers. Now I can get him to throw the grenade but I can't get him to throw it at the soldiers. I tried using DoFire, but that only seems to work with guns.

One more thing, when I CamCreate bombs, like a "laserguidededbomb" .etc, can I CamCreate a grenade and get it to go off? I've tried and it doesn't work. I want my soldiers tripping over mines and stuff, but I don't want explosions so big that they take out the entire squad. But it is funny watching them go flying across the screen.

ya I know, but I was wondering if you could do it with a grenade.  But my main question is how do you get someone to actually throw a grenade at another person instead of just throwing it as far as they can?

try: d00d DoTarget deadsoldier; d00d SelectWeapon "HandGrenade"; d00d Dofire ObjNull

Alright, I figured out how to camcreate a grenade and get it to go off....you just use "grenade" instead of "handgrenade"....heh

But I still can't get the civy to throw the grenade AT anyone, he just throws it as far as he can. Thats no good for creating a cutscene. He has to hit something everytime not just when he feels like it. O well, nothing a script can't fix.

Did you try what I had suggested?  This will make the civvy throw the grenade at whoever he is told to target.  I set this up in the editor and it worked flawlessly!!

"try: d00d DoTarget deadsoldier; d00d SelectWeapon "HandGrenade"; d00d Dofire ObjNull "

yes that works flawless...remember that d00d is his name... u can use this with many variations...always works.

ok, ya your suggestions work but the civy with the grenade has to be outside of the minumum range or something or he won't throw it. Which sucks because I want him to throw it when he is close up, but safely away from, the target.
