Is there any way to prevent splash damage from F1 & bean cans or C4?

splash damage to what?

Sorry my fault...
splsh damage by beancans/ C4 onto foundations and other building items.
if the C4 sticks or the bean can is hard against the object then there is zero or minimal damage  1-2 health.. , but usually zero.

but if there is a small distance then there is  larger damage, so clearly it is some sort of splash...
direct attacks with weapons  meelee or guns etc produce zero damage

c4 does splash damage again?

just tested this repeatedly by shooting rockets, using c4, sticking beancans, throwing beancans on and near clumbs of deployed items on top of foundations and nothing took damage in some 40 tests. not sure how you're reproducing this

Not a "test" it's on a live server.....
could it be related to NPC's using the bean cans rather than players?

why are you quoting test? I had to test, to try and reproduce it...

I need your config to answer that

What i mean is that it was not a test server, nothing special was done to gather the results.....
it was a server that was fine since the mods months ago for the  Sam sites.....

        "samsites_PLR cannot hurt baloons",
        "samsites_LOR can hurt baloons",

baloons is a typo which means this rule is not used

im not seeing anything that would allow npcs using beancans to do damage. i guess you'll just have to lure one to a base and find out for yourself

Thanks
I guess the users should have use balloons more then......

ill look into this splash

Merged post

could this splash damage also be related to the same issue we just picked up with the npc, but related to a different class of object?
