Ok, basically this gives me a grenade that is supposed to be a
"trail-y" grenade. It works fine at first. I get the grenade, and
everywhere I go, I leave a trail. When I throw the grenade, the trail
stops. The trail isn't stuck to my entindex (after I throw the grenade
it disappears), but apparently the grenade changes it's entindex, or
spawns another entity once I fire the "weapon_fire" event. I'm just
wondering if there's any way I can somehow catch the newly spawned
entity (or get any clarification as to how this system actually works)..
Obviously, I would like the trail to follow the grenade AFTER it's thrown (kind
of like in HL2). I'm pulling my hair out here. ;(
