ceriux, thats exactly it mate! Just needs a little tweaking

Just been discussing on facebook how coding may be a metaphor for life. In reality I think it's more like learning a foreign language; this is a good example: when in France a few years ago, I got by as they tend to know more English than I know French. After a while I got brave and tried out my appalling French, the listener obviously then replied rapidly in their own language and I was totally lost.
Now is similar. Spike's given me a great answer, but my knowledge was all tied up in my initial code, and although I've everything I need to make it work I have no idea how to do it!

NB This is in no way a criticism of the help I've been given, just an explanation of why I need a little more...

I think Sajt and avirox' suggestions are the best, so far: treat the oil drum like a 1-shot grenade launcher. Make a v_oil.mdl, and when you "fire" it, you toss the missile(using another model, oil.mdl) like a grenade (only using less velocity) and swap back to other weapon.

Yeah, I think you're right, I may have to redo it all, its not a lot of work really.
