📋 About This Mod
Bombs always detonate on impact.
What's the purpose?
While seeking ideas for the next project, I was messing around with the bomb range until I noticed bombs exploding in the air. I find it strange some kinds have a fuse time but detonate on impact, though. The truth is, it was scripted to always explode when it reaches the maximum thrown range.
This mod changes many conditions so the bombs properly explode at contact with the enemy or environment:
-
[]Explode at surface of water[/]
[]Explode on impact or when hitting something.[/]
[]Cluster bombs always explode before being separated into fragments.[/]
