Collision trigger component works on grenades?
obsidian spear
No, I had to work on it from the other direction. Start with a projectile (underslung grenade), then add all the stuff that makes it a grenade (WeaponComponent > BaseItemAnimationComponent, GrenadeMoveComponent)

Holy smokes

It's janky as the brick disappears once it hits a target, but I'm working on ironing that out. Windows can break with damage type set to collision instead of kinetic so I did that too.
dense lynx
I guess you could just add a particle that uses a prefab, but yeah
obsidian spear
Yeah, could also use a SubmunitionEffect like the flares do.
dense lynx
Insane how much effort this needs
obsidian spear
It's super flexible if you want to make a very standard weapon, but can be difficult if you want to make something niche.
I suppose generic entities not being able to do kinetic damage easily is the price we pay for not getting killed by the physics engine constantly like Arma 3.

Could the brick be configured into say... A throwing knife?
obsidian spear
I imagine so, but a bit of work will have to be done first.

The interesting thing to me is that the components sometimes do not behave the way they are supposed to. A collision trigger component should work on collision, but does not work when using a grenade, even though there is collision.
obsidian spear
I imagine BI overrode certain things internally to make frag grenades behave a certain way and didn't necessarily think someone would want to make this. Can't be sure though as I can't see anything but function signatures for most built-in classes in the script editor.
dense lynx
I can't imagine making a collision trigger component that only works on some collisions

dude I also made a brick mod not long ago, I see yours is better than mine already lol
couldnt figure out how to get it to do damage on impact
obsidian spear
I saw after I uploaded it, sorry mate! It was very janky to get it working, not surprised you struggled as I did!

you're probably good if yougrab a custom knife FBX model, duplicate it in blender and rename one to UTM_[insert_name_here], export and whatever else is needed

@obsidian spear can the brick be put in an arsenal?
obsidian spear
No reason why not. I'll have to test that though
deft epoch
Yay
sturdy phoenix
No reason why not. I'll have to test that though
just override like the civ arsenal and add it as a grenade or smthn in the config

Bricks now fragment on hit, with particle effects.
I tried to make them reusable, but the engine wasn't having it so I've made them canonically brittle instead.
wet timber
Canonically brittle is so funny

Will you be taking time to make stuff look nicer later on?
