Hey, I've just modelled this pineapple grenade but I don't know exactly what I should do with it...should I make it into a kind of Lag Bomb that lags someone's game up with a bunch of annoying particles when detonated, or should I have it explode without lag effects as an item just for fun...or what?
Actually, I'm not a script writer myself, so it would be great to find someone who can write or provide a script for this...It's nothing too big so don't bother with it if you're already busy, but I can give copying, modifying, and selling rights to the provider of the script...
Thanks.

I didn't say I was going to use it. =o
I bet it would sell well, though. |

i'll make a judgement call and say it's imoral to sell products that are intended to make the game less fun those at the recieving end.

Okay, but that still doesn't solve my problem about what to do with the grenade, and someone that could provide a script for it...well, I'm kinda a noob anyways, so I shouldn't bother wasting your time =P

See if you can find someone in-game who will give you some griefing scripts. The best thing to do would be to build it and then call someone with the last name of Linden to come help you. They tend to be the most knowledgable about that sor t of thing. Just use it on 'em as soon as they show up and they can help point out anything you can do to make it better. |

The answer to your question really depends on the intended use of the grenade. If you're going to use it in Jessie, or on some other combat-enhanced parcel, you want a damage script. If you're going to use it in non-combat areas of the world, then just give it a spiffy particle effect. Particle systems can be found in the Particle Library.

**Cough**
That wiki page never seemed to catch on... seems like that happens to most of my ideas. ScriptingMentors worked, though! _____________________

Yeah, it's a shame about the particle library, but I figure I'll make a few additions once I figure out how to wrangle the system. I have some patently stupid ideas, and I'd love to see them in the hands of n00bs, so that I can walk by and flinch and think, "Aw man, *I* made that..."

That's why you post it to the forums-- Then people say "Yah, I got this from a friend who found it on the forums"
