Rolling Grenade
Here's just a mod I made so that the newgrenade.lua scripts grenades would roll more and look more realistic than a cube.
I take only credit for the idea (and the effort put forth), the mod is an edited grenade.tbm file, and to use it (effectively), you need newgrenade.lua. As an unexpected side effect, if you grabby the grenade, you can end up with a plasma grenade like thing. I take NO CREDIT for the mod (original was made by NewbLuck) OR script (by suomynona), only the idea.
No, I don't have shaders. Why? I'll happily enable them if you can buy me a new graphics card ^^. (Radeon 9550 died of old age)
Get the script here:http://forum.toribash.com/showthread.php?t=12963
It only works on the right hand. It's not very much as a grenade, but more like a remote detonated explosive.
This is my first mod, and I don't know how to mod, I just adapt to syntaxes very fast, so feedback about modifying the mod is unlikely to be acknowledged. I do, however, like "Thank yous".
EDIT: I am now acknowledging feedback about changing the mod.
If the grenade won't leave your hand (or arm stub), try toggling the grab on it.
Apparently, the script (with this mod) is completely replay friendly. What you see is exactly what will be in the replay.
Variation info:
The "Non-rolling" version does not change size when grabbing or non-grabbing.
The "R-Frag v2 NG" is more real,
but may be less fun. I moved the position to INSIDE of the joint to make flight more realistic (it use to rotate around the hand, since the joint has no weight) so it rotates around the entire nade accurately.
Plus, as an unfortunate side effect, you can't grab after you let go of the nade. Overall, this one rolls more like a ball, and is much smaller than the original versions grabby, which was the only way that it could roll. I can not make a grabbing version without making the entire grenade bigger, which I tried and it made throwing less accurate and looked less appealing.
CREDITS:
NewbLuck for the Grenade mod and original Grenade script which preceded the newgrenade script.
suomynona for the newgrenade script.
MrPoptart for HoldableSword2.tbm, the mod I found the coordinates for the hand in "R-Frag v2 NG"
I would like to know which one you like the most. Please reply clearly. If you don't like a particular one, please tell me also.
