 Scan-grenade After a short break at modding, i'm back asking you for some lua scripts.
One of the two things i dislike about B27, (other being the removal of friendly fire) is the need to scan areas with tools.
That's why i'm requesting a script that attached to a TDExplosive would instantly scan the whole map when the explosive gibs/explodes (if it's possible of course).

Re: Scan-grenade Should be possible, just loop through the map and use SceneMan:RevealUnseen(X,Y,self.parent.Team);

Re: Scan-grenade Code: function Destroy(self)
SceneMan:RevealUnseenBox(0, 0, SceneMan.SceneWidth, SceneMan.SceneHeight, self.Team);
end Will reveal the entire scene for the player that threw it when it explodes.

Re: Scan-grenade That only works above ground, and is slow and not very cost efficient.

Re: Scan-grenade If you want below ground just do the old standby, Hold down E or Q and then use the WASD keys to look around.
Sure its not as fast and useful as youd want it but still :L
But I wouldnt mind a full zoom out kinda thingy like your sugesting.

Re: Scan-grenade Uh, no, that doesn't work because of the fog of war. Which this grenade is designed to clear. Reread the topic from the start.
