Smoke Grenade

A smoke bomb. Hopefully smooth sounds and graphics, easy to use, relatively performance-efficient. Not much else to say about it.

sounds cool, lua kinged.

[cheesylard]

That is pretty cool.

[mastermaul]

Hell yeah bitches!

[Peacekid]

Does it stop NPC's from firing and move out of the smoke?

Frigin' Finally! :v:

[Kogitsune]

My my, you're on a release spree aren't you :v:. Looks good, nice job.

Nope. I wanted to make it do that, but that doesn't even seem possible.

[QUOTE=L337N008]Frigin' Finally! :v:[/QUOTE]
The lack of smoke bombs on gmod.org really is quite surprising.

You could probably get away with making them fear the smoke bomb.

[lua]
local k, v

for k, v in pairs( ents.FindInShpere( bomb:GetPos( ), 512 ) ) do
if v:IsNPC( ) then
v:AddEntityRelationship( bomb, DT_FR, 99 )
end
end
[/lua]

Or something like that.

Tested it, doesn't seem to work. Thanks though.

If I recall correctly, NPCs can't have any relationships with props. There's a hack where you parent a certain NPC to a prop and then assign the relationship to it, but that seems to arbitrarily crash the game. So yeah.

[HyperGenesis]

Very nice, tested in-game and it's good. 10/10.

[Occlusion2018]

Could you make the smoke larger? It doesn't cover a very large area. Apart from that, awesome job on all your new releases, they are all superb.

[Riggler]

You can see through the smoke pretty well I'm afraid.

I thought of that, but larger equals means more particles, equals a lot less fps and a lot more visual artifacts; technically, you can throw a few bombs in a rapid succession (one second delay) for a bigger cloud. And thanks.

[QUOTE=Riggler]You can see through the smoke pretty well I'm afraid.[/QUOTE]
How so?

[Riggler]

My ideal would be if the smoke was only a small bit transparent, and also stay for longer.

[Lord Hayden]

Thanks, i have been waiting for one of these...

You can easily edit this if you want ( lua\effects\effect_smokenade_smoke\init.lua - it's quite self-explanatory ). You might fuck up performance or visuals doing that though.

Performance-efficient my ass this is more like an fps killer grenade

You must not fear. Fear is the FPS killer.

[KeksMan]

No it isn't. Crysis is.
Also nade is pretty neat. I like it.
*Tossing it into sweps category*

The Hl2 source code has bits and parts where NPCs avoid an object such as a grenade from a "danger sphere". It's something like a danger sound.

Yeah, NPCs do react to grenades ("Oh shit!") and lots of other things. I have no idea how to do this in Lua though, or how it actually works.

[Cyteless]

You definitely have my download.

[Nokkala]

Takes about 3-2 of em' to make the smoke dense enough, other than that it's sweet. :keke:

The nade seems to lag the [I]clients[/I] on my server. :(

Dense enough? It should obscure vision completely for at least five seconds, then fade away. Is it actual lag or just low FPS?

[Fluxeon]

finally smoke grenadeds for gmod.
can you also make flash bang?

[Failure]

I can make flash bang.
Add me on steam we can talk about it.

Just in case you still want to know how to do that, you can just use an [URL=http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Ai_sound]ai_sound[/URL] entity. It's pretty easy to use, you just have to set the "soundtype" to 8 and parent it to the grenade (and set the duration to a high value). :)

Awesome, thanks! I'll have to check this out as soon as I can.

Sorry too qoute a old post, But i have a idea. There is a special npc in half-life 2: npc_bullseye.
Npc's hate npc_bullseye. When a npc should shoot a prop, VALVe parented the npc_bullseye with the prop, and all npc hate npc_bullseye, because it was made like that. And when they killed npc_bullseye, they destroyed the prop.

... Maybe you should use npc_bullseye, and change the relationship.
