Hi, in my multiplayer map I seem to be able to throw grenades far too far, the range property seems to be set to 0 though. Can this be adjusted without scripting? Working on a default-media-only level, and don't want to have to include custom scripts.

Thanks!

P.s.
It would be nice if proximity mines were picked up by players in order to be placed, rather than one use, pre-placed only (in MP).

Hmm, I see these settings are missing from the grenade gunspec.txt file.
Maybe make a copy and add these and see if the range will work then.

;// Range and damage

damage = 35
range = 7000
force = 50
scorchtype = 1
noscorch = 0

A couple maybe repeated, But the range one is not there for sure.

I'm pretty sure somebody wrote a script that will allow you to do that. I don't know if it works in MP though. I will look around and post the link here when/if I find it!


EDIT: Here it is! (That didn't take any time; I figured it HAD to be in smallg's script thread, LOL)

Thanks Myke, I'll give it a go next time I'm on.

Also in the public preview build, have you noticed grenades give off a yellow light all around them when you throw them? Is this behaviour deliberate? It looks odd on grenades, would fit molotovs.

I think that's kinda odd, myself. BTW, I tried changing the range value and it had no effect on the actual range. Perhaps some of the values in the gunspec aren't actually in the engine yet?

To adjust projectiles range, bounce, timing, sounds, etc it is done in the projectiles.txt file. located in...
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Game Guru\Files\gamecore\projectiletypes\handgrenade.txt"
For grenades distance, adjust the life and range values to suit your needs.

Thanks perelect, it would be nice if these properties were editable in the grenades weapon properties - but that's an adjustment for the future.

Thing is, if I alter that file will it work correctly in mutliplayer, or will it require a steam workshop item? (Steam workshop items/custom content have been giving me a huge amount of issues, when others come to try and join).

I've got mine pretty well tuned. Mostly it has to do with the friction values used. If you adjust them you can get a solid throw/bounce. Stock values are WAY high (unless you are on the moon).
