Hey guys,
I know there is a function called isThrowingGrenade() in CoD2 unfortunately for Singleplayer. I have tried recreate it in many ways but I failed.
Could someone point me how can I check if grenade (here could comes array of grenades) is throwing ?
Thanks in advance,
Jeplaa
iznogod made a working one. he checked every frame the players current offhand item against a custom grenade item.
do you need a isThrowingGrenade() function or is a hasThrownANade() already enough?
This monitors a grenade after a grenade is thrown:
PHP Code:// Called from Callback_StartGametype
{
level thread TrackGrenades()
}
/************************************
This function is snaffled from
the eXtreme+ mod for COD2
*************************************/
TrackGrenades()
{
for( ;; )
{
nades = getentarray( "grenade", "classname" );
if( isDefined( nades ) )
{
for( i = 0; i < nades.size; i++ )
{
nade = nades[i];
if( !isDefined( nade.monitored ) )
nade thread monitorNade();
}
}
wait( 0.05 );
}
}
/************************************

*************************************/
monitorNade()
{
self.monitored = true;
players = getentarray( "player", "classname" );
for( i = 0; i < players.size; i++ )
{
player = players[i];
if( self istouching( player ) )
self.nadeThrower = player;
}
if( !isDefined( self.nadeThrower ) ) return;
if( !isAlive( self.nadeThrower ) )
{
if( isDefined( self ) )
self delete();
return;
}
self.nadeType = self.nadeThrower getcurrentoffhand();
self.nadeThrower notify( "grenade_thrown", self, self.nadeType );
self.nadeThrower iprintlnbold( "throwing Grenade" );
}
So, for first thanks for fast reply.
@serthy yup hasThrownANade() should be better because it is for jump mod to control grenade-explosion with timer.
@Tally thanks for this snip it's really clear and understandable, hope it will be usefull for me.
Shameless copy of myself @ modsonline:

First: this tutorial is written only for the most experienced scripters in cod2. Others should steer clear of this explanation and hope someone writes them a proper implementation.
I got annoyed by all the non-working implementations of isthrowinggrenade() and decided to write my own function for it.
This was quite hard, as the cod2 engine has a lot(!) of limitations. Finally, all works :)
how it works:
As cod2 doesnt switch to the nadeweapon as cod1 does, we have to use the getcurrentoffhand() and switchtooffhand() to determine if the player is throwing a nade.
In essence, it is quite easy, but there are a lot of things you have to keep in mind.
First, if the player starts throwing a smokegrenade, getcurrentoffhand() will return the name of said nade, but the player will not switch back to any offhand. So we have to force it back to a grenade of our choice:
This works fine, but it cannot detect any normal nadethrows, only the smokegrenade will show up.Code:while(true)
{
self switchtooffhand("grenade");
wait 0.05;
}
If we force the player to the offhand smokegrenade, we can detect fraggrenades, but we lose the ability to detect any smokegrenades.
So what we need is a third offhand grenade. The weaponfile is pasted here:
as you can, or maybe cannot see, this nade has a max of 0 ammo, making it an addition to the player's loadout without any ammo. This is nice, because players will not have any additional nades.Code:WEAPONFILE\weaponType\grenade\weaponClass\grenade\offhandClass\Frag Grenade\weaponSlot\none\displayName\WEAPON_M2FRAGGRENADE\AIOverlayDescription\\modeName\\playerAnimType\other\gunModel\viewmodel_mk2\handModel\viewmodel_hands_cloth\isHandModelOverridable\1\idleAnim\viewmodel_mk2_idle\emptyIdleAnim\viewmodel_mk2_idle\fireAnim\viewmodel_mk2_throw\holdFireAnim\viewmodel_mk2_pullpin\lastShotAnim\viewmodel_mk2_throw\meleeAnim\viewmodel_mk2_idle\raiseAnim\viewmodel_mk2_idle\dropAnim\viewmodel_mk2_idle\altRaiseAnim\viewmodel_mk2_idle\altDropAnim\viewmodel_mk2_idle\autoAimRange\1600\slowdownAimRange\50000\slowdownAimRangeAds\50000\lockonAimRange\50000\lockonAimRangeAds\50000\moveSpeedScale\1\damage\0\meleeDamage\40\fireDelay\0.1\meleeDelay\0.1\fireTime\0.3\holdFireTime\0.6\meleeTime\0.66\reloadTime\2\dropTime\0\raiseTime\0\altDropTime\0\altRaiseTime\0\fuseTime\3.5\clipOnly\1\hipIdleAmount\80\idleCrouchFactor\0.5\idleProneFactor\0.15\parallelDefaultBounce\0.5\parallelBarkBounce\0.6\parallelBrickBounce\0.6\parallelCarpetBounce\0.6\parallelClothBounce\0.2\parallelConcreteBounce\0.6\parallelDirtBounce\0.45\parallelFleshBounce\0.2\parallelFoliageBounce\0.05\parallelGlassBounce\0.4\parallelGrassBounce\0.35\parallelGravelBounce\0.5\parallelIceBounce\0.6\parallelMetalBounce\0.6\parallelMudBounce\0.2\parallelPaperBounce\0.2\parallelPlasterBounce\0.5\parallelRockBounce\0.6\parallelSandBounce\0.3\parallelSnowBounce\0.2\parallelWaterBounce\0.2\parallelWoodBounce\0.6\parallelAsphaltBounce\0.6\perpendicularDefaultBounce\0.25\perpendicularBarkBounce\0.25\perpendicularBrickBounce\0.25\perpendicularCarpetBounce\0.25\perpendicularClothBounce\0.2\perpendicularConcreteBounce\0.25\perpendicularDirtBounce\0.225\perpendicularFleshBounce\0.2\perpendicularFoliageBounce\0.05\perpendicularGlassBounce\0.2\perpendicularGrassBounce\0.15\perpendicularGravelBounce\0.25\perpendicularIceBounce\0.3\perpendicularMetalBounce\0.25\perpendicularMudBounce\0.1\perpendicularPaperBounce\0.2\perpendicularPlasterBounce\0.25\perpendicularRockBounce\0.25\perpendicularSandBounce\0.1\perpendicularSnowBounce\0.1\perpendicularWaterBounce\0.2\perpendicularWoodBounce\0.25\perpendicularAsphaltBounce\0.25\swayMaxAngle\30\swayLerpSpeed\6\swayPitchScale\0.1\swayYawScale\0.1\swayHorizScale\0.1\swayVertScale\0.1\swayShellShockScale\5\worldModel\xmodel/weapon_mk2fraggrenade\hudIcon\gfx/icons/hud@us_grenade.tga\modeIcon\\ammoName\idlenade\maxAmmo\0\startAmmo\0\clipName\idlenade\clipSize\0\sharedAmmoCapName\WEAPON_IDLENADE\sharedAmmoCap\0\dropAmmoMin\0\dropAmmoMax\0\pickupSound\weap_pickup\ammoPickupSound\\pullbackSound\weap_fraggrenade_pin\fireSound\weap_fraggrenade_fire\lastShotSound\\reloadSound\weap_fraggrenade_reload\altSwitchSound\\raiseSound\\putawaySound\\noteTrackSoundA\\noteTrackSoundB\\noteTrackSoundC\\noteTrackSoundD\\reticleCenter\gfx/reticle/center_cross.tga\reticleSide\\reticleCenterSize\32\reticleSideSize\16\reticleMinOfs\4\altWeapon\\twoHanded\0\cookOffHold\0\wideListIcon\0\killIcon\gfx/icons/hud@us_grenade.tga\wideKillIcon\0\flipKillIcon\1\standMoveF\0\standMoveR\1\standMoveU\-1.5\standRotP\0\standRotY\0\standRotR\0\duckedOfsF\-2\duckedOfsR\2\duckedOfsU\-0.2\duckedMoveF\0\duckedMoveR\1\duckedMoveU\-1.5\duckedRotP\0\duckedRotY\0\duckedRotR\0\proneOfsF\-6\proneOfsR\3.5\proneOfsU\0.8\proneMoveF\0\proneMoveR\1\proneMoveU\-1.5\proneRotP\0\proneRotY\0\proneRotR\0\posMoveRate\4\posProneMoveRate\10\standMoveMinSpeed\110\duckedMoveMinSpeed\60\proneMoveMinSpeed\0\posRotRate\5\posProneRotRate\10\standRotMinSpeed\110\duckedRotMinSpeed\60\proneRotMinSpeed\0\explosionRadius\256\explosionInnerDamage\200\explosionOuterDamage\50\projectileSpeed\940\projectileSpeedUp\120\projectileModel\xmodel/projectile_mk2fraggrenade\projExplosionType\grenade\projExplosionEffect\\projExplosionSound\\projectileTrail\none\projectileTrailTime\1\projectileTrailRadius\32\projImpactExplode\0
We now need to put this code into a weaponfile, precache it and give it to all players on spawn. (warning: this WILL break the dropoffhand() function used to drop grenades. Write your own fix for this, like storing the last used grenade in a player var)
Now we can force the player to focus on this offhandtype, and catch any other offhands. I suggest you use something like this:
And thats all.Code:while(true)
{
self switchtooffhand("fraggrenade_idle_mp");
if(self getcurrentoffhand()!="fraggrenade_idle_mp")
{
//player is throwing a nade
}
wait 0.05;
}
Known bugs: If the smokegrenade is empty, but ppl press the smokegrenade button anyway, this system detects it as if a real nade is being thrown.
