Using the grenades in BW can be annoying because they are way to bouncy so the grenade doesnt end up where you want it to be. Is there a way to tweak this? |

You can use right click and roll it. |

Well I guess that works too but in real life, grenades arent as bouncy as tennis balls |

It's a game chap. This game universe has Plasma,that is even more of a long shot than lasers. |

Plasma is in real life just as lasers are... |

But is even less feasible as a weapon than a laser. |

Plasma weapons as depicted in video games are a fantasy, and will very, very likely remain as such. |

The only possible way I could see it being used is if you attach a small vacuum chamber to a guys crotch and turn it on.Owch. |

What about a projected electro-magnetic field? Plasma can be contained pretty easily with those, you'd just have to pump a electro-magnetic field container full of plasma and send it out. Of course, you'd have to find a way to keep the field sustained, and find a way to launch it, but thats pretty much how I always thought plasma guns worked. It might be a little sci-fiey, but eh, its a game. |

Something about the impracticality of holding high-energy plasma in place and the speed of the projectiles. I remember posting a link about it somewhere on this forum, but I can't find it anymore. EDIT: Back on topic, my main issues with grenades as of now is that they don't bounce off players enough (They kinda just stop and fall to the ground) and that the control scheme is more complicated than it should be. I say the primary fire should be just the long or medium throw, while alt-fire charges the throw for more control (also faster charge time). There is very little difference I've seen between rolling the grenades and throwing them, at least not enough to justify both functions. I think I will do this with my weapon mod. EDIT 2: Found the link! |

Where do you adjust all that properties? |

I find it funny when people make articles like the one you linked to Kaboodles, as they seem to fail at grasping the difference between sci-fi/fantasy with reality, simply by trying to apply real world physics to something that is not of the real world to try and point out its flaws. Anyways, onto the subject, to make the grenade less bouncy, apply this to the default properties of the Thrown grenade class: Code: Begin Object Class=KarmaParams Name=KParams0
KMass=0.300000 KLinearDamping=0.000000 KAngularDamping=0.000000 KStartEnabled=True KVelDropBelowThreshold=20.000000 bHighDetailOnly=False bClientOnly=False bKDoubleTickRate=True KFriction=0.650000 KRestitution=0.500000 KImpactThreshold=100.000000 End Object KParams=KarmaParams'BCorev21.BallisticKGrenade.KParams0' Then adjust the KRestitution to what you see fit, and then of course, change the KParams to match whatever class you're applying it to. |

Which file do I find those text in? |

That text was, I beleive, in the BallisticPineapple or BallisticKGrenade, both found in the BCorev21 package. I'm not entirely sure which class it was in at the moment. |

I'm guessing that increasing the KRestitution will make the grenade less bouncy, right |

Um, I'm not really sure off hand. You'd have to play around with it. |

Ok, I'll do that after I learn to get files recompiled |
