[Solved] Spawning a unit with builtInWeaponSets: that has a grenade?

[The Martian]

(Goal)
When a unit dies via damage caused by either enviroEffects: or negative health regen on its armor that unit will not trigger the specab: 1 effect on death and explode.

If I understand correctly this occurs because the unit is not dying during a turn but instead between turns.

This got me thinking that maybe a makeshift solution could be created using a pre-primed grenade.

Fortunately Greenscarf has posted a script that does just that: (Thank you for sharing your script Greenscarf!)
[Documentation][y-script] OXCE Script examples.

(Problem)
I've run into a snag, for some reason I cannot spawn a unit with a grenade using the units: builtInWeaponSets: list.

Code: [Select]

    builtInWeaponSets:
      - - STR_MAGNA_BLAST_GRENADE

If someone could take a quick look at my code in the mod attached to this post and see if they can spot the problem I would appreciate it. (TestMod.zip)

The small example mod is composed of:
- Greenscarf's scripts that auto-prime the grenade.
- A test unit that will die via decaying health on its armor.
- A test weapon to spawn the enemy unit quickly where it can easily be observed.

You need to set allowInv: true in your test armor.

For next time it would be helpful if you provided an alienRace list

Also if you are interested you can take a look at the Penetante in ROSIGMA. They got explosive collars which they can activate at their own volition

No idea if this kind of linking works with Discord but in theory you can watch a video here

Thank you that fixed it!

I've been playing around with your script for triggering grenades via a melee strike.

It's a lot of fun thank you for sharing it.

Sorry about that.

I'm just starting to try out working with alienDeployments: and hadn't read the Ruleset Reference (Nightly) as far as alienRaces: hence the item to spawn the unit for testing instead of a proper deployment.

The linking seems to have worked fine and the video was helpful.
