mines explode when planted

[yungskiz]

whenever i plant a mine it immediately starts beeping and explodes! it does it when im with companions and when im alone. i remember reading something about companions tripping mines, and to prevent it you had to add them to the player faction or something, well it seems as if im no longer part of my own "player faction" it does this for all the mines in the game. i thought maybe it was because the mine was stolen, or that i diffused it and took it, but it does it from the store bought ones as well. also it does this no matter if my explosive skill is 25 or 100 (used the advlevel command to get it there for testing)

 

 

not as important but why i care-> i have warzones, i have the game on max difficulty with hardcore on, do i want a challenge? no, its because i play vegas like its a tactical shooter. anyway going through one of the warzone locations, i had my eye in my scope and someone comes up behind me and nails me twice with a super sledge and im dead. why my spotter did not shoot him or warn me is beyond me but i thought about it- if i had mined the perimiter behind me i wouldnt have died, or atleast would have taken a chunk of the attacker with me. so next time i go to snipe, i try and plant a mine, and it blows up in my face, i have no idea whats causing this.
