Grenades work in editor but NOT in Multiplayer?

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone I hope you can help a noob: First, I DID use the search function and nothing about this problem out of 4 pages of forum posts when you search under Grenades....

I have made tons of missions offline and recently started to play some with the community. When in MP games the Grenades dont work for ANYONE who is a player. Its odd, because smoke grenades do show up in your gear......Even odder is, the OFP (AI) DO throw grenades at us in MP coop games.

I'm not too good with Briefings and the description ext commands, so maybe something is missing there?

Here is the description.ext for one of the missions where they have been confirmed not to work for players in MP:

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// Armed Assault Description File

// Created with ArmA Edit - Version 1.3.4000

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

onLoadMission="Overrun";

loadScreen = "OR.paa";

showCompass = 0;

showGPS = 0;

showWatch = 0;

respawn=3;

respawnDelay=15;

respawnVehicle=3;

respawnVehicleDelay=30;

AIkills=1;

What good is that description.ext supposed to do for us? :)

Post the mission in question in full or at least list what mods you're running.

Huh. What d'you mean, 'nades don't work? Like, you pull the pin, two sparks, a nice puff and a little christmas song?

Or you don't get to have grenades for the players?

Or your grenades are indeed here but are bugged, without explosions?

When you press F and cycle your grenades, they do not show up. SMoke grenades do, but not HE nades.

No one who is a player on the US side is able to use them.

Nades issue is pretty common with Unsung. Check the appropriate thread to see if an answer was given there.

just in case someone is searching the forums with a related issue:

to make custom grenades you need a custom throw weapon (basicly a grenadelauncher with a muzzle for each grenade type). i made molotov cocktails and had the same issue. for some reason the game removes the custom throw weapon from the units even if you give the units the weapon. i don't know what causes this but sofar i could only fix it by giving the throw weapon to the units while the mission is running. via trigger or script. adding it in the init didn't work.

i hope there's another solution...
