C-4 Explosive not exploding.

Ragni<RangersPL> · 01-03-2008, 07:54 AM

I just pushed the button more than 5 seconds after planting and it just disappeared from the APC.

I will test it, but after all it's not the first time when C4 is not working properly. There was situation in PR 0.6 when my squad and I tried to make quick assault on Militias Main Base (Assault on Mestia map). We've decided to make a surprise attack from the side using grappling hook but first we had to blow up the razorwire that was blocking the entrance. My SL and I was standing right next to that razorwire. I wanted to plant C4 on it but I accidently double tap LMB and I blow it up right after it landed on the ground. Both of us survived without a single scratch. It was weird because this C4 was lying right under our feet.

If you fire before 5 secs nothing will happen. Just wait longer. Not a bug.

Oh, and IEDs won't stick to vehicles...

The five second delay is so you can run farther and not blow yourself up. like in real life. i dont even stand next to fireworks ,let alone detonating C-4. come on guy. get away from the stuff. its dangerous.why do you think slams have a 15 sec. timer.
TO RUN .
Far Far away,

Nope im sure it's 5s. If you fire before that it's a "DUD"

Ok, I've made some tests. Probably you are right... but it looks strange when you use the detonator to early and you can't select it from your inventory one more time to make a second atempt.

I thought the mod was based on reality.. well this make it real

I'm sure IRL if you have a detonator and a C4, you wait 3 seconds and it won't blow..
but after 5.01521545 seconds it'll blow...

Ok, all irony aside, I understand that this will increase suicide bombers and everything, but your concept is realism and if you are doing that you should stick to the realism part..

You gotta' choose..

Believe me, they know what they are doing. They don't just pull ideas out of their asses.
