Can the preset grenade timer be overridden without getting into the weapons file? A sample use could be a random detonation time. Another would be a grenade that lays in wait until someone gets close... in a sense a thrown claymore.

Havent seen anything in the code and the only way I see around it is to replace the stock grenade with a custom made one before it explodes. Used that method already for something else but it took some doing and I hope 'solid' would allow it to bounce off walls and such.

Samuel, I am sorry to say this, but I do believe all of the gernade code is handled through the engine itself. I have never seen anything in script about grenades before (other than giving them in loadouts and stuff like that). The only way would be to modify the grenade weapon file, which would not be a random time, or you would have to make your own type of grenade script that acts like a grenade, but isn't (if that makes sense). Hope find a way!

You can try this fun script for detonating grenades

detonate_grenades()
{
	grenades = getEntArray( "grenade", "classname" );
	if( !grenades.size )
		return;

	for( i = 0; i < grenades.size; i++ )
	{
		grenades[i] detonate();
	}
}

That one might be interesting. Set the grenade weapon file timer to 999999 but detonate it manually when the right conditions are met. Might work.

Actually it would be nice if it were possible in the script to access all weapon file variables and modify them as needed.

For grenades it should have hit me immediately that since its the same type of file as c4/claymores it already had a 'no timer' function built in. Bah.

Converted to memory :P I did not know of this function since I do not map for CoD4. I have found there are more useful functions avaliable than there were CoD2. Thanks for the find BraX!
