Code Examples

With this example you can use /setbombtime to set a delay duration of a projectile explosion.

function changeProjectileDelay( cmd, bombIndex, duration )
  local bombIndex = tonumber( bombIndex ) or nil
  local duration = tonumber( duration ) or nil


  if ( bombIndex ) and ( duration ) then
    local found = false


    for index,projectile in ipairs( getElementsByType( "projectile" ) ) do
      if ( index == bombIndex ) then
        if ( setProjectileCounter( projectile, duration * 1000 ) ) then
          outputChatBox( "Projectile (" .. index .. ") detonates in " .. duration .. " seconds.", 0, 255, 0, false )
        else
          outputChatBox( "Something went wrong when setting the duration.", 255, 0, 0, false )
        end


        found = true
        break
      end
    end


    if ( not found ) then
      outputChatBox( "Projectile with index " .. bombIndex .. " was not found.", 255, 0, 0, false )
    end
  else
    outputChatBox( "SYNTAX: /" .. cmd .. " [bomb index] [duration in seconds]", 220, 180, 0, false )
  end
end
addCommandHandler( "setbombtime", changeProjectileDelay )
