Fired Deployables

Primarily used for grenades, but could be adapted to function for weapons with custom logic since grenades are functionally weapons.

Configuration Properties

Enable Fired Deployable

Define rd501_fired_deployable=1 on the grenade (CfgAmmo) to allow it to execute fired deployable logic when thrown.

Where to define: CfgAmmo -> Grenade Ammo.

Deployed Object

The object that will be deployed after the grenade comes to a stop (velocity near 0). rd501_fired_deployable_object="text"

Where to define: CfgAmmo -> Grenade Ammo.

text should be the class name of an entry in CfgVehicles.

Time to Live

You can specify if the deployed object will delete itself after a specific number of seconds using time to live.

Where to define: CfgAmmo -> Grenade Ammo.

rd501_fired_deployable_timeToLive=number

number is the number of seconds to wait after the object has been deployed, to delete it.

Setting number < 0 will disable time to live, and the object will not be deleted by this module. Setting it to 0 will delete it immediately.

Default: -1

This should point to the CfgSounds config entry you would like to play on loop while the object is alive.

rd501_fired_deployable_loopSound="text"

text should be the classname of the sound you want to play in CfgSounds.

Loop Duration

Defines how long before the loop sound is fired again, this should match the duration of the sound.

rd501_fired_deployable_loopDuration=10

End Sound

This should point to the CfgSounds config entry you would like to play when time to live is near complete. (It'll trigger and overwrite loop sound when timeToLive - soundDuration < 0)

rd501_fired_deployable_endSound="text"

text should be the classname of the sound you want to play in CfgSounds.
