Flashbang

Overview

This filterscript allows the grenade in San Andreas to double-up as an incendiary flashbang. When a grenade detonates near a player, they will be temporarily blinded and disoriented. They will take some damage (30% of the normal amount) from the grenade, and if the grenade detonates too close to them then there is a chance that they will die. Flashbangs will damage vehicles in the same way that normal grenades do.

This script is a good, fun script to install on deathmatch servers, where the use of a flashbang can give a tactical advantage to a player, or on roleplay servers, where police can use it to defuse tough situations.

Usage

To use the script, simply take the .pwn into your /filterscripts/ folder. Open it in Pawno and hit F5 to compile it. When ingame, type /flashbang and throw it - it will affect all nearby players, both friend and foe! You will need YSI to install this as it uses y_commands.

Licensing and Maintenance

I will attempt to provide support for this script however I cannot guarantee it. The script is released under the MIT license so you are free to do as you please with it - if anyone makes a significant improvement/modification to the script then I will incorporate that into the original, with their permission.

Small update, went from this:

pawn Code:

case 1:
{
        SetPlayerDrunkLevel(playerid, 10000);
}
case 2:
{
        SetPlayerDrunkLevel(playerid, 8000);
}
case 3:
{
        SetPlayerDrunkLevel(playerid, 6000);
}
case 4:
{
        SetPlayerDrunkLevel(playerid, 4000);
}
case 5:
{
        SetPlayerDrunkLevel(playerid, 2000);
}
case 6:
{
        SetPlayerDrunkLevel(playerid, 0);
        FlashbangSwayLevel[playerid] = -1;
}

to this:

pawn Code:

case 1 .. 6:
{
        SetPlayerDrunkLevel(playerid, 10000 - (2000 * (FlashbangSwayLevel[playerid] - 1)));
        if (FlashbangSwayLevel[playerid] == 6)
                FlashbangSwayLevel[playerid] = -1;
}

Always follow the DRY principle!

Yes, I can, but then the player will take no damage from any explosions at all.
