Hello! Today I would like to make a proposal on the improvement of a particular consumable. It is too often removed and thrown away because it is useless in the majority of situations, especially in expeditions. This is the flash grenade, its range of action is in my opinion too low and especially the duration of action of the flash is too short to allow the person who threw it to act effectively. In real life, with the Blast of the flash grenade it can take a complete room of a building easily and neutralize for much longer. But in a video game it is true that it would be much too abused so in order to balance I put lower what I think.🍅 From what I see in my video montages it lasts 1.3 seconds before seeing the screen again enough to act. For it to be effective, the duration would have to be increased, 2.5 seconds completely blind and visibility gradually restored for 2 to 3 seconds and a slight stun added like when someone rifle butt-shot you or shoots you with a sniper bullet. Consider that taking a stun grenade could be compared to being very drunk and taking a slap in the ear.

Does the underslung grenade launcher work ? If so what are controls to load/select/shoot please ? On Xbox

So the vanilla version of ArmA has persuaded units to throw grenades. However it seems like this is the preferred method of attack and their ability to use it is instantaneous. I am inside a building and I peek through a door to see an AI approaching me. He instantly snaps from holding a gun to throwing a grenade. If AI are to use grenades they need to be more realistic. If an AI wants to approach a player and snap off a grenade then he should look like he is holding a grenade. If he has a gun in his hand he should have to at least take time to get the grenade out and then throw it. Giving me an opportunity to shoot him. Is there any way of reducing the AIs' willingness to use grenades. Does anyone have experience with bCombat or ASR AI 3 in this respect? Thanks in advance. S

Hey guys, I am looking for a Script to be able to kill the crew of a tank by trowing a grenade inside of the tank trought the commanders hatch. Hope anyone can help me. Signed, Mathues

Splendid Smoke > reworked smoke effects 1. What does it do? 2. Features 3. Troubleshooting 4. Source 5. Changelog 6. Download What does it do? The mod reworks the smoke effects of various weapons and events. In the initial version this includes much bigger smoke clouds created by all types of smoke grenades. The main aspect is the improvement of the visual experience while not decreasing the performance compared to vanilla. In general this means that the amount of spawned particles remains unchanged. Features The following list presents all added/changed features: reworked effects of smoke grenades and smoke shells double the size more volume due to increased spreading blocks the sight of AI same particle amount than in vanilla (performant, particle limit is not reached faster) compatible with common mods like ACE small and compact, no overhead perfomant Troubleshooting The smoke effect does not look like in the video? If you use any mods, try again without (vanilla). If the problem still persists, locate the problematic mod. Ensure that SplendidSmoke is loaded after this mod, this should fix the issue. In either case contact us here or at GitHub so we can fix the issue also for others. The smoke effects do not apply to a modded smoke grenade? The modded grenade probably does not inherit from the vanilla grenades. Contact us here or at GitHub so we can add support for this mod Source The source of this mod is available at GitHub, it is published under the GNU General Public License v3.0. Changelog 1.1: - fixed signature keys not working 1.0: - initial release Download Download here (no other addons required) or via Steam Workshop

Hello, I am looking for a solution for spawning a flashbang effect, possibly on a marker, invisible helipad or possibly using any other way that works best and can be customized for future use. So far I was trying to spawn the grenade using the createVehicle command and getting a position of a marker. Two problems I have are: - Flash/stun grenades do not explode on spawn, they appear for a few seconds and then disappear entirely (I've checked smoke as well as frag grenades and those two do work fine) - The command spawns a literal grenade which can be seen physically, whereas I am looking for it to either explode on spawn (for the grenade itself not to be seen) or for it to trigger only the effect instead. The command is supposed to be a supplement to door breaching on action and is supposed to affect AI as well. I believe that the effects of the ACE M84 grenades do, so that would be the ideal solution. Thanks for any suggestions! Adam

Hi all, been lurking on the forums for a while now but this is my first request for help with triggers. I am trying to make a line that spawns a live grenade (preferably a 40mm he grenade) and drops it from a drone flying above. Basically replicating what groups are doing in the middle east with rec. drones, any help will be appreciated. I have tried "G_40mm_HE" createVehicle (getPos drone) (drone being the name of the object it's spawned to) I've used this in the past for other classnames used for explosions on the ground, but I think I'm having trouble with the grenade being 'live'. Thanks in advance all. Cheers

Greetings all! Going to be sharing my latest piece which will be coming to Arma, aren't you lucky?! Now, some of you may not like the fact that's it's an entirely fictional weapon, but we're keeping it realistic and based it off a few real world rifles, such as the Barrett M99, the Steyr HS-50 and so on. Here's some fluff for you to salivate over. So with that out of the way, here's some images to further titulate: Apologies if the images are too large, hopefully the forum can take care of this automatically. Anyway, I'd love to hear your thoughts and get some feedback, take care everyone. Later. o/

Hello. I'm trying to make the grenades play a pin pulling sound when you throw them. This is what I have: But for some reason it doesn't seem to be playing. Can anyone spot something wrong here or help me out?

can anyone (ideally someone from BIS?) explain how the throw distance is managed in the engine / addons? we have about 15 grenade types in unsung mod with some pretty large blast radii, that worked great in arma 2, but with arma 3 the throw distance is about 25m, whereas in arma 2 you could chuck a grenade up to 50m, which is more realistic. 1. we currently face 2 choices - reduce our blast radius (and make the grenades unrealistic) or 2. increase the throw distance (and make the throw distance realistic) we would prefer to increase the throw distance in our weapon "throw" or in the mass of the grenade etc, but i have no idea where to start, despite looking through all of the base classes. Is the max throw distance of 15-30m hard-coded?
