is it possible to make a fire cracker that when touched will explode in all those nice bright colors BUT it wont explode until a certain time after its been touched?

So you could touch it then have time to throw it into the air?

I would think it is possible. The part of your project that would be the most difficult is throwing the firecracker. As far as I know, there is no way to throw something is SL. You could get around this by touching the firecracker, having a delay, and then make the firecracker float or fly into the air.

sorry, should have explained what i meant.

When I say throw, I mean grab it hold ctrl and lift it into the air, throw it that way.

Would someone be willing to help me do this?

I'll pay well lol.

Sure, it's easy. Put a timer event into touch_end.

I don't really know anything about scripting...
And I assume the explosion part would be done with particles?

LOL Pete :-)

Scott and Pete, I stand corrected. I didn't realize there was a way to throw objects in game.
