Tutorial - Sticky Nades for X4

[SevenSniff]

This is a simple script modification no need for .ff rebuilds or new files!

What is this you ask? This is a script which will "Stick" a nade to a player if they are harmed by impact of a nade!
The player will explode 3 seconds after being "Stuck" and will kill anyone in the radius giving the "sticker" the kill's.

The only file you need to modify is "maps/mp/gametypes/_globallogic.gsc"

REMEMBER TO BACK UP ALL OF YOUR FILES BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS TUTORIAL!!!

If your lazy or dont understand scripting this download a pre-build _goballogic.gsc, thanks to Lojik

------------------------------------------------------------------------

OPEN: "maps/mp/gametypes/_globallogic.gsc"

Go to the bottom of the file and after the last "}" paste this code

Code: [Select]

playergoboom() // Modified script _explosive_barrels.gsc
{
self iPrintlnBold("You have a grenade stuck on you!"); // Comment this line out if you dont want the message.

wait(3); // add a 3 second wait to make it seem there realy is a nade attached.

self playsound (level.playerExpSound); // play nade FX
playfx (level.nade_fx["nade"]["explode"], self.origin); // play nade sound

phyExpMagnitude = 2;

// Modify these values if you have changed your nade properties.
minDamage = 75; // keep the min damage the same as a real nade.
maxDamage = 300; // keep the max damage the same as a real nade.
blastRadius = 256; // keep the radius the same as a real nade.

// do not pass damage owner if they have disconnected before the nade explodes
if ( !isdefined( self.damageOwner ) )
{
radiusDamage(self.origin + (0,0,30), blastRadius, maxDamage, minDamage);
}
else
{
radiusDamage(self.origin + (0,0,30), blastRadius, maxDamage, minDamage, self.damageOwner);
}

physicsExplosionSphere( self.origin + (0,0,30), blastRadius, blastRadius/2, phyExpMagnitude );

self maps\mp\gametypes\_shellshock::grenade_earthQuake(); // do a nade earthquake
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------

now that the easy bit is done, lets have some fun

------------------------------------------------------------------------

FIND:

Code: [Select]

precacheShader( "faction_128_sas" );
AFTER ADD:

Code: [Select]

level.nade_fx["nade"]["explode"] = loadfx ("explosions/grenadeexp_default");
level.playerExpSound = "grenade_explode_default";
------------------------------------------------------------------------

FIND:

Code: [Select]

self.hasSpawned = false;
self.waitingToSpawn = false;
self.deathCount = 0;
AFTER ADD:

Code: [Select]

self.damageOwner = undefined;
self.newsweapon = undefined;
------------------------------------------------------------------------

FIND:

Code: [Select]

prof_end( "Callback_PlayerDamage flags/tweaks" );
ADD BEFORE:

Code: [Select]

if( !isDefined( eInflictor )) // To be honest im not sure if this is safe on X4, but we can always re-work it :P
sWeapon = "frag_grenade_mp";
------------------------------------------------------------------------

FIND:

Code: [Select]

if ( (isSubStr( sMeansOfDeath, "MOD_GRENADE" ) || isSubStr( sMeansOfDeath, "MOD_EXPLOSIVE" ) || isSubStr( sMeansOfDeath, "MOD_PROJECTILE" )) && isDefined( eInflictor ) )

ADD BEFORE:

Code: [Select]

isFrag = isSubStr( sWeapon, "frag_" ); //Lets make sure this is a frag nade

if (isFrag && sMeansOfDeath == "MOD_IMPACT")
{
self.damageOwner = eAttacker;
self.newsweapon = "frag_grenade_mp"; // Sets the weapon so it display's as a nade kill
Iprintln(eAttacker.name + " has stuck " + self.name);
eInflictor.origin = eInflictor.origin + (0, 0, -100000); // Throw the original nade away so it wont cause a 2nd explostion
self thread playergoboom();
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------

FIND:

Code: [Select]

// send out an obituary message to all clients about the kill
ADD BEFORE:

Code: [Select]

if(isdefined(self.newsweapon))
{
sWeapon = self.newsweapon;
self.newsweapon = undefined;
}

Tested with bots and works great. Should have took a screen but saw 1 stuck on a bots neck lmfao

I tried this and it didn't seem to work. Sounds like a nice modification to have.

Heres my globallogic.gsc file, runs fine on my server. back yours up tho because I dont remember what other changes I have made to it. If any it was for the better tho.

Yours worked, I wounder why mine wouldn't work.

Even though using yours works. I did notice a difference. my gsc file is larger in size and I really hate to remove a piece of coding that was supposed to do something or be for something.. so I feel safer not to use yours, I just wondering why your file works and mine doesn't.

I compare the two files, and other than the sticky nade changes, there are only two others.

This line has been commented out.
   

Code: [Select]

//level.onForfeit = ::default_onForfeit;
And this code has been removed.

Code: [Select]

self initPersStat( "longhead" );
    self.longhead = self getPersStat( "longhead" );

    self initPersStat( "longshot" );
    self.longshot = self getPersStat( "longshot" );

[coRpSE]

   

Code: [Select]

//level.onForfeit = ::default_onForfeit;
I saw this

Code: [Select]

self initPersStat( "longhead" );
    self.longhead = self getPersStat( "longhead" );

    self initPersStat( "longshot" );
    self.longshot = self getPersStat( "longshot" );

I don't have that either in my coding, I started to compare, got up to like 900 and had to stop. nothing at that point.

Thanks to seven for this good stuff indeed thanks

So say I want to make c4 stick to a person. How would I go about doing that?

thought it would be kinda funny to throw it on a person and remote detinate them when they get closer to their team mates.

[Powerbolt]

Can someone please upload the gsc file again?

[FewPeople]

yes im lazy as well , can we get a link to this download on this site please
