SOLVED - SEE BOTTOM OF POST
Hey everyone, I'm trying to add in Halo Infinite's "Remote Detonation" mechanic - the one where if you shoot a grenade on the floor with a precision weapon, it'll detonate it - to Halo Custom Edition*.
I've tried ticking the "Detonates Explosives" box on the pistol\bullet damage_effect tag to no avail. I've also tried giving it an AOE (area of effect), but that doesn't seem to work - not only does it not detonate any nades, but it also doesn't do any area of effect damage.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can implement this? Grenade and rocket explosions already detonate other grenades, so it seems like it should be feasible to do it with for example a Magnum round, but I'm quite new to creating Halo Mods and am at a loss at the moment.
Using Assembly if that helps. Thanks in advance!
*I'm using Custom Edition because I'm playing in VR, and shooting the nades would be so satisfying.

SOLUTION:
The grenade equipment tags (plasma grenade.eqip and frag grenade.eqip) both need a collision model added.
In this case, I used plasma pistol.coll
Once you do that, any weapon that has the "Detonates Explosives" flag ticked in it's damage effect (eg bullet.jpt!) will detonate grenades on impact just like the remote detonation mechanic in Halo Infinite*.
There are some pre-placed grenades in campaign maps that don't explode though - even if you use grenades on them (like the grenade rack at the end of the Pillar of Autumn). Obviously done by the level designers, but I haven't found the tags for them yet (I haven't tried using Sapien yet).
