Frags out! Grenades Galore!

[V2LenKagamine]

You ever think grenades are cool, but a little... Limited? Me too. So I made a crap ton of grenades and some mods to go with them. Ill detail the changes below.

-Grenades can now have up to 6 teirs, from dud, to nuclear -Added Barrel, Barrier, Big boy, cage, cherry, mirv, and rolling thunder grenades. Details further down. -Added Dense Explosive, Extra Grenades, Martyrdom, Spicy, Wide Explosives and Thunderous grenade suffixes. -Elasticity is now a positive or Negative mod to bounciness.

Now for the Juicy bits. Barrel Grenade: Spawns a barrel at 1 HP on detonation. For when you need an ambush spot. Barrier Grenade: Spawns a bookshelf with 300 HP to act as make-shift cover during a firefight. Detonates on impact. Big Boy Grenade: Does a lot of damage in a large area, but arms slowly. Cage Grenade: Spawns a 2 second invulnerable cage on detonation. Can be shot through. Maybe I should make a trap grenade mod.... Cherry Grenade: Small and detonate fast, so small you can carry 4! MIRV grenade: Spawns 4 cherry grenades and explodes on detonation. Good AOE, but plenty of time to get out of blast radius. Rolling Thunder Grenade: Detonates every time it hits a surface in a small area up to 3 times, detonates after 10 seconds if its out too long. (My personal favorite.)

Mods: Elasticity- Now INCREASES bounce if tier is under III Dense Explosives: Increases grenade damage by up to 10% Wide Explosives: Increases grenade radius by up to 20% Extra Grenades: Carry up to 3 more of the same grenade. FRAGS OUT Martyrdom: Chance to drop grenade LIVE on death. Up to a guaranteed 100% chance. Spicy: Chance to spawn flames on detonation. Up to a guaranteed 100% chance. Thunderous: (Rolling Thunder Only) Adds up to 3 more bounces to the Rolling Thunder

DEV STUFF: Adds a grenade Base and grenade SWEP base, to easily create more grenades compatible with current mods.

Ill probably end up doing more grenades over time, currently there is no way to obtain grenades in inventory, but they will spawn out and about for people to try. All grenades have been personally tested, shouldn't cause errors, and work (somewhat) as I envisioned them. Should you have any ideas /balance suggestions, send them my way, I have nothing but time.

Helped len beta test these, these should be madatory.

• You committed giving yourself cheat commands in lua/pluto/init.lua which is no. You can have that on your test server but not the main server.
• I think having elasticity have an opposite range of bounciness is a good idea so that's fine
• Barrel grenade should not roll denseexplosives because it has no effect.
• I don't think martyrdom should be a mod because that will lead to too much random damage. Maybe it would be fine on the smoke grenade, but I don't know about anything else.
• Barrier grenade spawns partially or fully in the ground half the time. Also, I don't really like having this as a grenade at all. In the future I'm interested in changing the Magneto Stick slot into a general tool slot with different equippable tools, and maybe a barrier-building tool could be made that places things relative to the player rather than as a thrown entity. For now though, I don't think barrier grenades are gonna work.
• Cage grenade is in a similar place where it would work better somewhere else (probably a t weapon)
• I like rolling thunder and its mod, although if it turns into an RDM device it could be migrated to being a traitor weapon with a set 3 bounces. I might also use it to rework the exploding crossbow round.
• I don't think we need so many tiers for grenades. Dud is too bad, there should be nothing below Unstable. 5 and 6 mods are probably too many for grenades at this point because there isn't much variety with mods, so for now we should only have up to 4 mods.
• I didn't have time to test this one myself but I was told none of the new mods work on old grenades. I don't know if that's true but it's something to look out for.
• I'm not sure why you needed to make a new base grenade for these, but if you had a good reason just explain why.
• The big boy grenade uses a model from tf2 so that's not gonna work.

I don't know if that's all the issues, partially because there is just so much trying to be added at once. But that's everything I've found at this point.

In the future you should probably do these kinds of updates one bit at a time. It's exciting to add an entire new bundle of things to the server, but it's hard to do big updates in one go. If you could go through a process of 1) discussing an idea for one grenade/mod with the community to get feedback, then 2) making and testing that one grenade/mod once the idea is approved, and finally 3) making a pull request for the one grenade/mod, it would be a lot easier.
