I want to make this into a kinetic weapon, but I'm not quite sure how. As it is, it can only push loose props, I want it to smash through walls. I'm sure theres others out there that do as well.
I've tried giving the projectile flags the same flags as the sledgehammers melee flags, didn't seem to help. Also with the penetrating bullets flag, and bounce on impact flag... the discs still stick into the wall.
Any ideas?
The gun was designed for this purpose, put on the second upgrade and the discs explode.
I think that makes the grinder pretty worthless personally because the rocket launcher serves as a better rocket launcher than the grinder, but that's just me.

Ok so back to the original question, how to make it into a kinetic weapon?
To clarify, I want the projectile to smash through walls, people, and whatever else that gets in the way.
from what i can tell with testing, the grinder is not ment to do damage to building alone, and can do damage to building with the explosive upgrade, then you could mod the explosion to be bigger or what ever. but making the projectile punch though building dosent seam all that possible. so you would just have to mod the explosion to get the wanted effect.
also made a small nifty mod making the grinder shoot dicks at about 70-100 disks a sec with quick fire and automatic style. lol
lol...
Well the propane tank is a thrown object that can damage buildigns, I'm going to try making remote mines do naughty things.
you gave me an interesting idea :), going to try and replace the model of the grinder disk with a tank.
EDIT: changeing just the prop didnt work, ill have to add the propterts of the tank for it to explode.
or u could make the grinder shot propane tank explode like it should, then it would be like a grenade launcher.....
Except I'm not trying to make a grenade launcher, I'm trying to make a kinetic weapon...
Speaking of which, has anyone been able to get the propane tanks or remote mines to work as projectiles?
Sniping remote mines on things from afar would be pretty cool :)
the answer is no for making the grinder shoot stuff tough walls, and yes i was able to use the prop for the tank as ammo to shoot, but i still have to look up the propterys to make it explode like a real tank. so i think you can make it shoot most any prop, but again even if i got it to shoot the tank or mine, i still have to try to add the propertys so that they act like the real thing. lol
Have you tried adding an explosion to the grinder tags; that of a vehicle explosion?
Even the MOAB would be pretty sweet, it's under 'vehicle_bomb'.
EDIT: You can now do this for the Assault rifle with my mod:
