How would you go about creating a stun grenade? Basically it must meet the following specifications:

1.Not reduce the enemy's or the player's health (I assume you can simply set the weapon damage to 0)
2.Make the enemy become inactive for a couple of seconds, for example they fall down, freeze for 2 secs then get back up.

There is a couple of other things I would want it to do but I shall leave these for another time so I don't overwhelm people, plus I dont want ppl to steal our idea until we have done it first

Thanks.

...if you don't want anyone to steal your idea, why bother posting this?

The concept of a concussion grenade isn't a new one. They've been in use for sometime now, in the real world.

You realize someone is going to probably bring this to fruition in pretty quick order, and most likely beat your debut to the punch...

Oh thankyou for your input. WOW!! I had no idea that stun grenades exsisted in real life!! I thought I had created a new kind of super weapon!

Also I do not wanna protect the stun grenade idea. If you read the post properly you would see that

...a wee bit of sarcasm goes a very long way. Cool it.

I read just fine thanks. I just didn't see what all the hype was being built up for.

Why not just make the darn thing?

lol soz .

We have a game in developement which (if possible) will do some things that have either not been seen in an FPSC game or have not been done particularly well. It will not be revolutionary, but still different.

Please don't think I am some n00b who thinks they are gonna make the best game straight outa the box. If I can get a couple of things working then it will be awesome.

Only time will tell

Let us get this straight, I'm going to assume, Oakly, that you've had FPSC for a year (join date).

You cannot script flak, only change it's settings. So throwing a grenade can only result in one thing: an explosion. That's it, easy and to the point. I believe Butter Fingers found a slight work-around, but it failed in the end.

You quite frankly cannot do this with a weapon, but you can do this with an item. You can have fun scripting that out, I'm only the messenger.

Good luck, man,
==Pride

I think his idea behind this is to set the damage fromt he explosion of the flak to 0, meaning the enemies won't take damage, but they'll still be knocked down from the impact. Thus resulting in a small stun grenade.

I don't know what else he ahd in mind for this, as it seems that this is about as far as it'll go for the time being.

Hey Ply, I have an Idea. Well, you know when you save your game, a script is involved in taking a screenshot and loading it in the menu. Well, in counterst4rike source, the flash bang takes a screenshot that fades away after a while. I was messing around with the smoke decal, tyring to make it bigger, but I couldn't, I could only make it white, like a clash, but not big enough to simulate one. Implimenting the sound woul dbe easy, but making the flash part is hard. Then I thought, what if you have a script, similar to the many pick-upable flashlight ones, to have a key pressed, then spawn an entity or something. This is probably not possible, but If there is a work around, then the flash bang script could work. Any suggestions?

The problem with the flashbang is that usually you're only effected if you're close enough to it (And, to be accurate, if you're LOOKING at it)... but you can't check distance to/from flak that has been thrown, only from the entity doing the throwing.


Also, a script doesn't take screenshots in-game. That is hard-coded into the engine, right after the screen has been sync'd.

Have fun trying to make this. I tryed long ago and faild......horrably. The closest I got was I threw it, and it went boom just as pland. The AI however, did not stun like I wanted him to. He just ran right through it like he was Iron Man.

If you do make it.......please.......TELL ME HOW!!!.........please?

BOOM!!!!!! HEAD SHOT!!!

Yeah, now that we have the settargetname=x, it would be nice to have a targetdistwithin=x and targetdistfurther=x

Quote: "You quite frankly cannot do this with a weapon, but you can do this with an item. You can have fun scripting that out, I'm only the messenger."

I agree, make the grenade an entity rather than a traditional weapon? (since it doesn't effect health anyway)
Throw it with the movefore=x for the toss, which could even be different increments based on how long the player held down the toss key.
Then the activateallinzone=x could cause all the enemies within range to do whatever you want when in that activated state. (freeze)
A plrdistwithin=x could also be in the grenades script in case they threw it against something and it bounced back.

All you need for the player is a white hud that slowly fades out and the plrfreeze action.

yes, but that would involve having little zones in every pissoble spot in your mat and hundreds of scripts running at once.

@PLY: I know, I was just wondering if there as a work around.

Why do you say that?

I was talking about only 1 zone...the entity's zone.
It would only be one script and run the state checking for distances after it was thrown.

I think this is possible, so its now on my list.
I got a game I am making now and a body armor system to finish, but after that I'll play with this 'stun grenade' idea.

Lol, you make it sound like it was just added in the latest update.

We've had that command since V1.04.


As for using an entity as a flashbang... wouldn't that seem a little awkward, having to pick up your grenade off the ground, or carry it around with you, then throw it, much unlike a weapon-style grenade?

I've made a flashbang. No explosion or anything. Just a white screen that fades out and a ringing sound (which overlaps the other sounds a bit). Disadvantages: must be in a scripted are using trigger-zones and spawning entities. Not amazing, but a cool effect nonetheless.

Well, I have tried and tried, but I cannot get this to work FULLY. What I did was place an entity on the floor. I set its settings to as follows:

1. The Main A.I. SCRIPT IS A CUSTOM ONE THAT MAKES IT FULLY TRANSPARENT. IT IS As FOLLOWS. This is important if you don't want to see floor entities everywhere.

apperaclear.fpi:



Then, the main A.I. is also a custom script.

FLASHBANG.fpi:



As you can tell, you need a pure white hud to act as the blinding agent in the correct folder, as well as your flash sound. NOTE: this sound is just the ears ringing, the sound is delayed, so it cannot contain the explosion sound as well. Anyhow, once you have this set up, set its health above ten, and make it immobile.

There are your floor segmeants. These, when dammaged, will make the flashbang.

Then, if youw irh, model a flash grenade, of just use the stock ones. Anything that will cause dammage will work fine. Then have fun.


ISSUES:

First of all, I need help with the script, it works for the first flash perfectly, but after that, it messes everything up. Any help? Continuing, if the "tiles" are dammaged in any way, including being shot, then they will flash. Also, I need to add a point where the player is not affected ny the flash anymore, I should plrwithin to make a point where the player is no flashed from a certain distance. This is simple. Anyhow, It is a rough start, but atleast I managed a "beta" if you will of a much better method.

Now all I need is people to edit, improve, and test this script. I have included a video of the final result, the fpi, the script, and some screenshots. Enjoy!

Sorry:

I cannot upload the video, so I have a like to filefront.com on the next post.
