[email protected] · #1 09-09-2008, 06:44 PM

well, its just for mining right now... i was thinking of making it an actual explosive, it would make sense... opinions?

Isn't there some sort of explosives already ?

What did you mean ? Making it a weapon aswell ?

[email protected] · #3 09-09-2008, 06:52 PM

yes, it would just make sense...

Soala · #4 09-09-2008, 06:54 PM

Hmm yeah would be good then, because TNT is explosive, so it should hurt
It should even kill lol
some weapon dmgs should get an update, because I remember when I could follow someone still, after walking over like 50explosives LOL

hmmm
wouldn't make it a big explosion though... [people will just buy the tnt instead of the origional explosives]
suggestions on damage? or should i make it like a suicide bomb thing

Oh man, do bring back the suicide bombs. I remember I bombed BH to the point where they even placed a statue of me in their base saying "Warning: Suicide Bomber; Stay far away from".

hmm i think i will go with the suicide effect, but you won't be able to trigger the explosion [you will need to get shot to trigger the effect]

I guess I could work with that.

But speaking of explosions, what about the grenades? Barely anyone buys them cause they take for ever to throw and it takes a day for it to hit the ground. Also, the fact that you have to switch to it is another downfall.

hmm, how would you fix the grenades? suggestions

Like Demisis suggested; for one, give them their own key for using so we don't have to manually select them from our inventory.

But for my suggestion, I say make it fall at a faster rate and maybe get rid of the massive freeze time you get after throwing it.

Soala · #12 09-09-2008, 07:24 PM

then it should be more expensive if it becomes a weapon
But yeah, I vote yes for it.
Dmgs shouldnt be low, nor high
lets say a bit more than 1/4 of the total HP, should worth it.

ah, i wouldn't change the price of the tnt.
it'd only be like a misc item, nothing fancy. just seems illogical it not being classed as an actual explosive tbh...

Dusty says:
should make it so the TNT has a chance of blowing up in your face if used as a weapon
Dusty says:
that way you don't have to lower the price as it can't be used as a reliable weapon, but if someone does try to, it makes sense because it'll blow up!@

i think i will go with this

I tried to do it but failed
basically, you open up a GUI menu which lists all the types of grenades you have in your inventory. then you select one, and it adds 3 or 4 to your "belt" or whatever. those 3 grenades on your belt can be access by a hotkey to throw them.
