Well that is not the problem because when you throw the frag, 3 plasma nades come out of the explosion, then land on the ground and explode, therefore since they exploded, obviously the "airborne_detonaition" effect works. Il try out the problem later if you dont solve it, cuz im quite busy now. (Birthday :D)

happy b-day, im going to be leaveing so i prolly wont figure it out. and the airbourne works. the frag blows up on the ground and spawns three plasmas. if the problem was that i used the airbourne then the plasma nades shouldnt spawn.

:shock: Holy lag batman! Never try and make the frag explosion fire two of something and a frag, that's just suicide! I made the tank shell fire plasmas, the plasmas fired two warthogs and a frag. OMG the lag, OMG!!!

But, wow, that's rather amazing, who could have thought that a discussion started by a grun could be answered and discussed by 1337 admins and moderators and such?

i still dont know how to spawn the frag from a plasma. if any one figures it out please let me know.i think im going to go with the 1 frag to 1 plasma to 1 frag, not the 1 frag to 3 plasma thing. maybe swap two of the plasmas that spawn to like rockets or something. but please post your findings on spawning frags out of plasmas.

I know how, find any explosion effe and change it with a dupe of the battery explosion and do that thing.

i followed the tut on the first page for the frag to plasma. i then duped the battery and used the same tut to go from plasma to frag. the plasma only has i airbourne detonation where the frag had two.i did the same thing i did with the first battery explosion and made the bloc into the frag projectile.

dont mean to double post, but i wanted people to see. i figured it out. i changed the effe of the plasma nade that is, effe/blah/blah/blah/detonation. not the airbnourne detonation one. i changed that to the duped battery explosion. then i use only the 2nd bloc of the battery explosion so it spawned only one. the second one shoots sraight up. i changed that to the frag proj. then i followed the tut on page one for getting the frag to spawn a plasma. i used only the 2nd bloc of the battery explosion again so it spawns only one plasma nade. just null out the other two. when in game you throw a nade and the frag explodes and shoots a plasma straight up, but then when the plasma explodes you might not always see the frag, cause some of the froce from the plasma makes the frag blow up almost instantly. so it looks like its just plasmas shooting straight up. i threw like 5 or 6 of them and it still didnt lag. im not sure how many it would take to lag or freeze it, but ill test it out in alittle bit. this is being done on a clean headlong map. if you want anymore info id be glad to try and help out.
