just an idea... but it would be nice to know, when i'm priming a nade, how close it is to exploding in my hand. $:-\$

Nah.

Takes the fun out of it.

Agree'd. We don't have room for it, anyway.

Don't do it. If you're gonna be throwing grenades you should be able to learn the little amount of skill it requires for timing it right. Just play and learn like the rest of us have had to do.

umm...
YES SIR. (salutes)

like i said, it's just an idea. it's also something that's not unheard of - many games out there will show you meters for stuff, whether it be grenades or not.
so yes, i could do without it... but seriously, what's so wrong with it that you feel compelled to condemn me just for thinking of it?

wait a sec. Are you saying that when you right click or whatever, you can cook a grenade? mine just throws it straight away. Or am I completely mistaken?

Depends on what you bind your right mouse button to. If you put it on "Prime/Throw Grenade", then you can prime it by holding down the button, and it will throw when you release it. That is, if you don't hold it down so long that it explodes on you.

"+tossgren" primes a grenade (and throws it when you release the button)
"tossgren" throws a grenade (timed or impact, depending on the server setting)
"tossgren timed" throws a timed grenade on any server
"tossgren impact" throws an impact grenade, but only on servers with gren_explodeonimpact 1 set.

Really all you need bound is +tossgren and tossgren. If you want to throw a timed grenade, you can just quickly press and release +tossgren. If the server has impact grenades inabled, you can just use tossgren, and it's an impact grenade by default.

would be cool, but like mentioned, totally takes away the surprise ending.

webhead · « **Reply #11 on:** February 20, 2008, 12:33:46 AM »

ah well then we could make it REALLY subtle and hard to see

i_am_a_pirate · « **Reply #12 on:** February 21, 2008, 01:41:49 PM »

Lol

.
I was just wondering, what do people have their prime grenade bound to and what do they have their throw impact grenade bound to? Because it's flippin hard to throw any grenade with anything apart from right-click.

Henkka · « **Reply #13 on:** February 21, 2008, 02:17:26 PM »

I have it in right-click.

i_am_a_pirate · « **Reply #14 on:** February 21, 2008, 02:27:38 PM »

Yeah, but which one? The priming one, the impact one, the timed one?

webhead · « **Reply #15 on:** February 21, 2008, 03:44:31 PM »

i believe my prime grenade is on my right-click and my impact nade is on the I key. not the greatest, i know.

i_am_a_pirate · « **Reply #16 on:** February 23, 2008, 06:36:04 AM »

hmm, a bit hard to jump and throw, then, using the impact gren.

Edgecrusher · « **Reply #17 on:** February 23, 2008, 08:11:20 AM »

Buy a mouse with more buttons. Solves the issue.

i_am_a_pirate · « **Reply #18 on:** February 23, 2008, 11:18:21 AM »

hmm, how much are they again? Oh yeah, MONEY.
sorry for the sarcasm, but i'm skint.
