Delayed damage

[Pureon]

A projectile hits the target/ground and only causes damage a few seconds later.

A particle animation should play when the damage is produced.

This functionality can be used for grenades.

[Imarok]

Should just the damage be delayed, or the hit detection too? (For a grenade hit detection needs to be delayed too)

Questions:

• Is it enough to add delay to Splash type attack or make it generic (eg. delayed hit of a melee weapon)?
• "A particle animation should play when the damage is produced." => Does it mean that 1911 depends on 1909?

• I would say that an option to spash damage is good / better. Grab perhaps another dev input.
• I don't know. I need to look at it.

@Mate-86: here was the original forum post of Pureon for the clear design. ​https://wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?/topic/17224-damage-and-projectiles-fao-programmers (so forget some of my past comments).

(It would be nice if you could review the splash bonus cleaning before D792.)
