Something as simple as a Bomb

I understand that. But isn't bomb like predefined or whatever?

Yes but I don't want the predefined one. I'm going for better functionality and customization.

@Lance - how would I read what step that gani is at and how would I make it continue from that step in the shoot, as well as if the bomb needs to explode while in mid air?

npc.anistep, if I recall correctly.

By passing the step as a shoot parameter (see setshootparams).

as well as if the bomb needs to explode while in mid air?

You'd have to see what options are available for accessing projectiles-in-motion. I've never dabbled with that personally so I'm not sure what the limitations are or just how inelegant it might be.

There aren't really any. If it needs to be able to explode mid-air, I would think your best bet is to use move (or script your own version that handles the NPC's Z) so it appears smooth on clientside. You could still blow it up mid-air if you destroy the NPC and then place the explosion (using another putnpc2, a showani, or however you do it).

Which is why I made this and never used it.

Are you going to make a bomb for scratch, or get a walk-thru on here?

I'm getting help and knowledge of the best practical way to do this. There's nothing wrong with that.

Update : So how do I go about reading the current anistep of a shoot gani? I could catch this gani step while the shoot is in mid air and put the explosion that way, but how would I as well stop a shoot gani while in mid-air? Also how would I make a gani play entirely from a certain anistep?
