var/Q = 0
while(step(src, dir) && Q < 5)
  Q++
boom()

if it hits somthing change a variable that checks if it hit something. Now do something like this

move direction by 1
sleep(2)
if hit, return
move direction by 1
sleep(2)
if hit, return
etc.

Do that until certain length has reached.

Maybe walk would be better, to control the speed instead of step? Just a thought...

That would not work whatsoever. If you want to control the speed, add a sleep(whatever) inside the loop.

This helps and everything works just fine EXEPT....The grenade only does south even if i'm facing north.

If you understood the code, you'd know why.

I ask you kindly NOT TO NAME YOUR GAME "Halo"! Or keep the name, and lose the graphic that resembles Master Chief from Halo. I've brought a few people I know into BYOND, who also enjoy Halo. They joined your game, threw up in my bathroom, and guess who mopped it? You're giving the beginner player that this is indeed Halo for PC. I wonder what Bungie would say if they saw what BYOND is *allowing*. The time will come when the lawyers of a company stumbles upon BYOND, which will cause horror. Rid the problem now (Game names, content), and you're free.

CodingSkillz, I really think you should read some tutorials before venturing further into making a game. I'm glad you want to try, and the tutorials are there to help you with that. Check out the ZBT tutorials, http://zilal.byond.com/tutorials/zbt.html and then the Tutorials link on the left here. Try to really understand the tutorial yourself without asking too many questions here. Even though it will take a bit longer time, I can assure you that it helps much more in the end. Good luck!
