Projectile tracking

[PotatoMan671]

I want to make a grenade system using snowballs. How do I create the explosion at the snowball?

As long as you're using Player Action: Launch Projectile, then you can detect when the projectile lands by using Player Event: Projectile Hit. Then, after some validation stuff to check if it's the grenade and not any old projectile, you can just use a Game Action: Create Explosion at that location and it should work! Let me know if you have any questions.

or you can if you do it as a game action repeat multiple times (600 for 30sec in ticks) and than in the repeat multiple times do a select object all entitys by the name <projectile name>(you have to do in spawn proj, also a custom name in it) if entity is groundet game action spawn primed tnt

and after the if do a wait 1 tick (i said you should do that it gets repeated for 600 ticks (or 30sec) because a projectile that isn't a fireball (that is effected by gravity) is gonne be in the ground already after the 30 sec)

I wouldn't recommend doing it that way unless you have to use Game Action: Launch Projectile as it's highly inefficient, and even then there are better solutions, such as starting a process and using a Repeat While: Not Grounded.

yea, you could do it like that, and i agree that it is ineffient, but i had some problems often with if proj is groundet not, so that why: ik it's ineffient, but it kinda works so (but still if you don't need to, than always use player action)
