Airstrike canisters

(creampuff) #1

I’ve been trying to create a “cluster bomb” type weapon where an airstrike canister throws out grenades after it comes to rest. I was combining the weapon_callAirStrike and weapon_grenadelauncher_fire code and having the new entity throw a grenade. The problem I have is the greade is thrown from the spot where the airstrike is thrown, not where the canister comes to rest.
I am not sure if I need to somehow capture the location of canister or what. I guess the problem is I don’t full understand the code and am just winging it. Any suggesstion would be helpful.

have you tried creating your effect when the canister hits the ground,
rather than when it comes to rest ?

this post talks about the bounce flag

I myself have made a grenade turn into a props_firecoloum by
doing this… so it may be a good place to start

I would have thought it would also be possible to do it when it comes to
rest, but havent done that myself, so can’t give any advise.

EDIT

Figured it out. Instead of basing the start position on muzzleEffect, it should be base on ent->r.currentOrigin.
