Solved Time Bomb

[maxduv]

Hi Everyone, I was wondering if someone ever created are used a time bomb in one of their project. My goal is to create a bomb that can be dropped off and then blows up after 3 seconds. I look all over the forum and could not find anything like that. I would appreciate any help you could provide.

There's at least a dozen ways you could do this. Here's just a couple of simple ones:

1. Use the native bomb type projectile and just add a delay to its Attack1 (landing) animation.
2. Spawn an NPC (or any entity really) and set its lifespan value to your desired time delay. Make its death animation the explosion.
3. Same as 2, but just put the delay in first few frames of its idle animation.

Thank you so much. I can't wait to try out.

Hi Damon. Thank you again. I ultimately went with option 1. It worked out perfectly. I did try option 2 but did not get the desired affect. The death animation just caused the animation to disappear instead of playing the animation. Not sure what that is about. I am including the code below for the entity. Am I including everything I need in order to make the time bomb using a spawn entity?

The death animation just caused the animation to disappear instead of playing the animation. Not sure what that is about.

By default, entity will blink on death. To prevent that, there's nodieblink command, read manual for more info .

If you want alternative, here's dinamite from Marvel Infinity War which uses #3 method suggested above:
