Yo Harmor - post this in www.oifmod.com and tell them about it. We might implement this into our mod, who knows :) Stop bye and say hi!

Re: Idea for selective C4 detination

I've contended for awhile that a selective C4 remote would be great, but there's no real precedence for it in the game because the C4 weapon already uses both a primary and secondary fire.

You would need to keep things as simple as possible, so the remote should look more like having two buttons: one detonates an individual charge in sequential order, the other detonates all simultaneously.

But again, you'd need a third trigger button to do this. Primary fire to lay the charges, secondary fire to toggle the remote mode, then the primary and a third fire for both functions of the remote.

Your method illustrated above would require too much time and consideration for it to still be useful under most circumstances.

You can't implement it in ANY mod. The problem is the function that you call to blow the C4 doesn't have any parameters...its all or nothing.

Now a possible work around would be to give the SpecOp kit two sets of C4, one with 3 and the other with 2.

When you want to blow each you then select '5' to blow the 3 or '6' on your kit to destroy the 2.

I think that's probably closest we'll get until they change the server to accept different parameters on the trigger command.

Here's a sample image:

The above isn't possible because of the limiations with the current trigger system (only able to tell server to blow ALL C4, the function has no parameters to set off individual C4). So here's a work around:



In the above image you have 2 C4 packs - a 3 pack in slot '5' and a 2 pack in slot '6' in the SpecOps kit.

If you want to blow the C4 you just select the detinator from the specific slot. Each detinator should be a different color (perhaps red and blue to detnote which pack - NOT SHOWN).

Here's the thread that shows it not possible to have 5 separate explosives:

Re: Idea for selective C4 detination

Not to sound rude but there is another way to do this. Put one c4 down at a time and blow them when you need to. You can be running aorund wasting your c4 all wiley niley. Or work in a squad of spec ops and have them only use one c4 at a time, then you can control which ones to blow and which ones not to. Very simple and effective :)

You don't play SpecOps much do you? I would rather we not discuss the qualities of this change, but actually how to make the change since we're in the Modding forum and not General.

Understood man, If you look at my sig though you might notice something.

Good luck with it man. It sounds like a fun idea

You understand why you want to have 2 separate detinators, right?

Now that doesn't even make sense to me. I understand why i what... your mod idea is cool but now you have lost me

Example 1:

Ok follow me on this.

You goto a flag and plant 3 C4 (really that's all you need to take out a flag normally. (Used up all the C4 in your 3 pack - slot '5').

Now you goto another flag and there's an enemy tank there. You now can take the C4 in your 2 pack - slot '6'), and place it on this tank and blow it using the detinator in slot '6' and the C4 from your 3 pack - slot '5', won't blow and probably TK your teammates because the flag hasn't been turned.

Basically you can set C4 and detonate the second pack's C4 without blowing the first.

Example 2:

You place 3x C4 on a bridge and 2x on a flag. An enemy comes from a different direction (not over the bridge) and is at the flag. You can then blow the C4 at the flag without blowing the bridge, which you want to save for when an enemy vehicle goes over it.

Example 3:

You see an enemy squad start to cap a flag. You blow your first pack of C4, but don't get all of them. The remaining squad member goes and tries to revive his fallen teammates and you blow the 2nd pack, killing the medic and the guy he just revived.

Need I go on?

Re: Idea for selective C4 detination

Talking to me like i have a learning disorder doens't really make you sound smart.
I understood what you meant on the openning topic.....
Why do you need to use all of your c4 at once though???
use what you need when you need it. No more, no less...
