Wazat makes cluster grenades

[Wazat]

Seeing as how I was thoroughly disappointed with the cluster grenades in Dissolution of Eternity (mission pack 2), I decided to create some from scratch so we'd have cluster grenades that work. This normal-quake mod (you don't need the expansion pack) shows how I would have done it. The only thing I stole from DoE is the grenade model.

.

Basically, I fixed the problem with hitting an enemy directly with the main grenade. You couldn't ever really make good use of cluster grenades because monsters (and players) are too hard to lead into the trap, and if you accidentally hit them with it directly it explodes for much less damage.

My solution:

If the grenade doesn't hit anything but walls, it splits on a timer as normal.

If you hit a target, the cluster grenade still splits, but the mini-nades don't immediately explode on the target. They fall to the ground and then explode. The resulting effect is perfect, in that it carpets the area with explosions and slaughters everything in the area.

Now THAT'S a cluster grenade.

Funny that this is what finally got me to make another mod. lol!

I just get away with bouncing off the enemy and just setting off on the floor anyway
Cluster grenades were one of my favorite grenade type guns to code lol

I'm not sure if grenades call their touch function when they hit world (I presume they do), but I think that the minis should explode as soon as they touch anything. I'm not sure what exactly your code is doing, but it looks like it could be simplified...

I have a related wuestion: When something with MOVETYPE_BOUNCE is in its touch function, has its velocity already been changed?
