[BUG] Flashbang blinds through objects

[semodo]

Flashbang blinds through objects. It doesn't blind through walls, but through the objects. (static meshes they called?) Like tables, movable office square walls, boxes, half destroyed brick walls, etc.

This is intentional behavior, as I understand it. But perhaps @jose21crisis can explain better than I can, how they're supposed to work.

Further tests shown it happens only on specific maps, like Ministry of Agriculture and Stechkovs Warehouse.

Flashbangs can also blind through walls, but I think it´s only happening in costum maps. To prevent getting flashed, I always turn my back to the room (while in decent cover of course), in which the flashbangs gets thrown.

[jose21crisis]

Flashbangs work in 2 ways. The first one is the flash and the bang itself, which blind and deafen whoever can watch the grenade. However, this really isn't the main effect of flashbangs. The main effect is the sudden change of pressure the grenade generates after they explode, which stuns whoever was in range. This only works if the room is small enough so that the change of pressure can be contained in the room. So a flashbang would be less effective in a big warehouse, but far more effective is a small office.
