bomb1 = "grenade" camCreate [(getpos target select 0) -3,(getpos target select1),(getpos target select 2)]

try that one

To get it to always explode behind the target you would need to work it out by using getDir and all sorts of other mathematical stuff that I don't understand  :-\ You could also do it as mentioned above, although if the unit is facing north, that line will create the bomb 3 metres to the left  ;)

Thanks guys  ;D

Artak's solution is what i was looking for.

It does not need to explode behind the target, just near enough to damage it and make the player duck lol  ;D

"all sorts of other mathematical stuff that I don't understand" me neither lol

Thanks again
