I'd like to be able to throw a grenade or fire a rocket, then make it so that it fires a mortar or a bunch of plasma grenades, how can I do this?

do you mean when it explodes it spawns more grenades?

Chain spawning tutorial: By me.
Open a map which has the "covenant Battery" such as Headlong or Gemini. Goto your frag grenade, and go through the dependancies until you find the "airborne_detonation" effe. change that to the "Battary explosion". Then goto the battary explosion effe, and change the bloc dependancies in that, to plasma nades, or rockets, or whatever you want.
Now, when you throw a grenade, it will explode into 3 plasma nades (or whatever you set.

why thank you!, I will use this for my flamethrower project, BTW would you like to help? I need a modeler for a flamethrower itself, you'll get credit....

which gun do you plan on replacing with your flamethrower?

I'm not sure, either the sentinel gun or the shotgun, but most likely the shotgun. Oh, I just realized the time (11:25) and the fact that I have tests all day tomorrow, so I'm gonna go get smoked out then pass out.

Does it have to spawn 3 of something? Can you rig it to just spawn one?

how do you get it to spawn from plasma back to frag? so they keep spawning? i know it will lag like crazy and freeze sooner or later but i wanted to try it out for fun.

just have plasmas spawn frags when they explode. And have frags spawn plasmas when they explode. That way the frag will go off creating plasmas and the plasmas will go off creating frags and so on

thats what i mean to do, but how. if i use the Battery explosion to spawn the plasmas what do i change for the plasmas to spawn a frag? is there a way to change an effe of the frag to just a plasma pro? then a effe of the plasma to a frag pro??

Dupe the battary explosion, then assign the new one to the plasma and have it explode back to the frag?

ok, i got the frags spawning 3 plasmas, but the plasma to frag dont work
i swapped the airbourne_detonation of the plasma to the battery2 and changed the bloc to frag proj. is there somethig else im supposed to change?

You do know that will cause SEVERE lag.
1 frag = 3 plasma
each of those plasma's explode into 3 frags,
9 frags = 27 plasmas
81 frags = 243 plasmas
And thats just after the 5th explosion...
At approximately 10 explosions, you will have 177147.

And you can spawn 1 simply by only making one of the "bloc's" into the grenade, and nulling out the other 2

i know, i might make it so only one of the blocs are plasma, so then it will spawn 1 to 1

could it possibly be that they were on the ground when they exploded. Nothin would happen if u only changed the airborn.

all i changed was the airbourn in the frag to spawn plasmas.
