Flashbangs don't bounce from walls

[bux]

As discussed in the TS meeting:

If you throw a flashbang against a wall (preferably in an angle) the flashbang doesn't bounce it just drops straight down.

I think it's more of a bi problem because it happens to all of the grenades.

Playing with changing deflecting on CfgAmmo

deflecting = 60; seems good, it's what the smoke grenades use

[kripto202]

what does the grenades use?

[PabstMirror]

Grenades use 15 😕
I think simulationType might also have an effect? The M84 inherits from FlareBase.

I'm really not sure, but I do think 60 is an improvement over the current value of 30.

[kripto202]

is it possible to change the grenades to roughly 30? Those grenades should be able to bounce off walls a lot better than they are now.

deflecting is the minimum angle a projectile has to hit the ground to possibly bounce. 0 meaning never bounce, 90 meaning possibly (there is a %-chance modifier somewhere) bounce on all angles.

The issue is that perpendicular bouncing is a feature exclusive to the simulations of frag and smoke grenades, not flares.

There is no reason for the M84 not to be a smoke grenade though (with no smoke effect). It's just Flummis lazyness again.
This is also the reason you don't hear impact sounds on the flares. I'll see if I can do something about them later.

gj @commy2. I'll test this later today.

Works very well! Finally 😄
