Explosions don't trigger collision event?

[Yamil Dagger]

Can somebody explain to me why explosions from grenades and missles...etc don't trigger any kind of collision event? I am working on a collision detector and I simply die instantly with no response if it's an explosion. How can I still detect it?

[Parrish Ashbourne]

if they are using particles for the explosion effect there's no way to detect the particles.

particles can cause damage?

They don't trigger a collision event because that's the way SL works.   See the specification in the wiki entry on llSetDamage -- the object dies without the collision event being called.

How about doing it the other way round?  That is, the grenade collides with someone, sets off particles, fires off an invisible, damage enabled, bullet at the victim, and then dies.
