Self-Detonatable Explosives

Postby film11 » Fri Aug 27, 2004 9:58 pm

I dont know if thats a word in the topic there but I hope you get my meaning. I found this when taking a few screenies to impress my friends *cough*. If there are any bombs in midair, they seem to explode when you press the screenshot button (p). Ill report back when I test this on grenades and rockets.

EDIT: doesnt seem to affect grenades but it does seem to affect rockets oddly enough. Good job you can keep making these squads ;)

I've tried it with all three types of squad explosives and it doesn't seem to occur for me. Did you have anything researched?

Nope. Do find this a bit odd. When are you pressing the p key?

With rockets, when the rocket is about half between the squad and the point of impact. With airstrikes, both as they drop and as they're being carried, close to the drop point.

Perhaps it just seems like they're exploding as you're pressing the key because the game freezes to capture the image for a sec, and then resumes drawing from a few frames on?

Testing this, it seems to happen to me too. The explosion is located at the exact place the rocket was when you hit p, and not at the place where it should have exploded.
