Check if object is grenade in papyrus

[Ayelius]

Hi all,

 

is there a reliable way to check if an object reference or form is a grenade or mine? I tried using keywords but these are generally different for each grenade/mine. All mines seem to have the keyword 'WeaponTypeThrown'. But not all grenades have the keyword 'WeaponTypeGrenade', in fact only a few seem to have that. Elemental grenades like plasma or EMP have their own keyword (e.g. 'WeaponTypePlasmaGrenade') but I wouldn't want to check each and every one of those specialized keywords. And I would also like to avoid altering vanilla forms by adding new keywords.

 

All grenades and mines seem to have the keyword 'WeaponTypeExplosive' but then again, the rocket launcher for instance has the same...

 

So is there another way?

If, for your purpose, you can check it when the weapon is equipped, you can use this:

Otherwise the only that differs on those weapons from any other weapon is that those do not use ammo, so you could use If !YourWeapon.GetAmmo()

Neat little trick, the latter works for me. Thanks a lot!

Actually, thinking it twice, no melee weapon uses ammunition.... so you would need to find out a way to discard melee weapons too.
