Can you blow a granade on you're own?

I was playing in TV5 and I saw alot of people that was able to blow the granade before the "three bips" where over, what I meen is that, they throw the granade and just after they released it they whera able to blow it, how is this possible? Always when I throw a granade it keeps roling away from the "ememy" and it blows not even close to him, and also they have tome to run away from it when they see it comming! Is it possible to blow the granade before the "biip's" are over? if yes, how, and can all the guy's do it? or is it a bug?
Please answer, because it's starting to get enoing!

It's called 'Priming' a grenade. By this I mean you hold down your grenade button until you are ready to release. Usually right when the 3 beeps are up.

Yeah, you shoulda asked for more money, you're getting cheated out of quality programming.

To anyone interested, I think I can write a script to go even shorter than Quasi's one second. Now, you won't even have to throw them. AND, I can undercut his prices.. $25.00.

P.S. I'm just being a wise-ass, but don't think I am making fun of you Doomday, I took a long time to start grenade priming. I'm still not that great at it and I have been playing for a couple of years.

Yeah, I think there is a big difference between Knowing HOW to prime a nade, and being GOOD at it. I am SLOWLY getting better at the priming, but find it dificult to hold oon to a nade that long

try this:

hold in your grenade button for 3 seconds, then after last beep, jump in the air.

WHEEEEee

don't listen to these guys, i'll hook you up with something for FREE! yup, you got it, free. it wont make the nade go off right away, but it will make it easier to prime it.

alias bomb1 "+gren1;wait;exec timer2.cfg; bind f bomb1throw"
alias bomb1throw "-gren1;wait;bind f bomb1"
alias bomb2 "+gren2;wait;exec timer2.cfg; bind g bomb2throw"
alias bomb2throw "-gren2;wait;bind g bomb2"
bind "f" "bomb1"
bind "g" "bomb2"

Hey Why, you probably need to include the nadetimer.cfg file for this to be useful. Plus, I doubt if this poor kid will understand how to use your commands if you don't provide a litttle explanation.

Yeah, I was so busy joking around, I didn't cover a timer script for you Doomday. If you don't already have one, you should get a script that counts down the seconds from the time you activate the grenade. That way you can time grenade jumps or prime them correctly for maximum killage.

Sorry we didn't answer your question completely the first time.

This website has a good explanation of scripts and console commands.

http://tfc.gamehelp.com/

But beware! helper scripts are frowned upon here on the Ville. Particularly ones that do things you can't do without a script. But even rocket jumping scripts are thought to be unfair, so I ended up deleting mine.
But I don't think anyone has a problem with a grenade timing script.
