H2 Chain Spawning

Post by BlackFoxx113 »

I'd like to be able to throw a grenade or fire a rocket, then make it so that it fires a mortar or a bunch of plasma grenades, how can I do this?

Chain spawning tutorial: By me.

Open a map which has the "covenant Battery" such as Headlong or Gemini. Goto your frag grenade, and go through the dependancies until you find the "airborne_detonation" effe. change that to the "Battary explosion". Then goto the battary explosion effe, and change the bloc dependancies in that, to plasma nades, or rockets, or whatever you want.

Now, when you throw a grenade, it will explode into 3 plasma nades (or whatever you set.

I'm not sure, either the sentinel gun or the shotgun, but most likely the shotgun. Oh, I just realized the time (11:25) and the fact that I have tests all day tomorrow, so I'm gonna go get smoked out then pass out.

Does it have to spawn 3 of something? Can you rig it to just spawn one?

how do you get it to spawn from plasma back to frag? so they keep spawning? i know it will lag like crazy and freeze sooner or later but i wanted to try it out for fun.

just have plasmas spawn frags when they explode. And have frags spawn plasmas when they explode. That way the frag will go off creating plasmas and the plasmas will go off creating frags and so on :P

Dupe the battary explosion, then assign the new one to the plasma and have it explode back to the frag?

You do know that will cause SEVERE lag.

1 frag = 3 plasma

each of those plasma's explode into 3 frags,

9 frags = 27 plasmas

81 frags = 243 plasmas

And thats just after the 5th explosion...

At approximately 10 explosions, you will have 177147.

And you can spawn 1 simply by only making one of the "bloc's" into the grenade, and nulling out the other 2

could it possibly be that they were on the ground when they exploded. Nothin would happen if u only changed the airborn.
