    Summary: While you are fully submerged in water many of the item actions on thrown explosives do not work as expected.

     

    Game Version: A21 b324

    OS/Version: Windows

    Game mode: Client on Dedi, RWG

    Did you start a new game? Yes

    Did you validate your files? Yes

     

    Bug Description:

    While you are fully submerged in water:

     

    Thrown rocks/snowballs:  work
    Grenade:  works

     

    Molotov:  no interaction possible

    Pipe bomb:  Can light. Can not throw. Explodes in your hand.
    Stick of dynamite:  Can light. Can not throw. Explodes in your hand.
    Contact grenade: Can pull pin. Can not throw. Does not explode.
    Timed charge:  Can arm. Can not throw. Does not explode.

     

    I know that at least in some cases (maybe all) this is in XML, such as for the pipe bomb
        <property class="Action0">
            <requirement name="CVarCompare" cvar="_underwater" operation="LT" value=".98"/>

     

    I can see that none of that is consistent but did not test or investigate any further.

     

    Expected result: Some issues are obvious like not being able to light a pipe bomb underwater but whether they can be thrown unlit or how other types of explosives should behave is more of a design issue.

    Thank you for reporting.

    The issue with the pipe bomb and the dynamite has already been resolved internally.

    The grenade should not be working while submerged,  so I will write a ticket for that to match the contact grenade and the timed charge.

    After testing,  I found that you can drop the contact grenade and the timed charge after pulling the pin/arming them to make them explode,  so I will mention those in my ticket as well.
