Ok, I have asked this before, but I have forgotten how. I tried to find the old thread, but I failed in doing so.
Anyway, I know you add the projectiles in PARTS in the .effect for the detonation effect, but what would I set for velocity bounds, velocity cone angle, angular velocity bounds and the radius modifier bounds. Help on this would be greatly appreciated. -Thanks |

velocity bounds is the speed, but the bullet already has speed in the projectile tag, so don't bother adding that. the velocity cone angle is like the angle it comes out of the grenade, i think, not quite sure about that one. the angular velocity bounds is the angle it turns in the air?? not too sure.

i think you're meant to vary the velocity cone angle

Set it to 360, I think that's the desired effect.

it contains 22 projectiles and the only thing that is different for each one is the velocity cone angles. i just set random numbers between 0 and 360 for each one

If you're planning to use non-explosive projectiles, I wouldn't recommend the cone being 360. Half of the projectiles will be fire towards the ground, which makes it useless. Try 180, or a little bit more than that for hilly areas.
Another thing, setting them all to 180 will not make them go the same way. They will be spread out. |

Yes but depending which way the grenade lands, the 180 cone could be facing towards the ground.
