How do I make a timer for a grenade?

I am making a grenade and want a timer, so it doesn't explode as soon as it hits the ground. What script is used for this?

Take a look at WaitForSeconds. Then, assuming you want the timer to start from when the grenade is thrown, do something like:

  1. Instantiate the grenade
  2. Wait for as many seconds as you want (using the above method)
  3. Play an explosion sound, spawn a particle effect, destroy the gameObject, etc

In future, you should try scripting it yourself and then post if you have problems (that you can't find a solution for by searching). Otherwise you'll usually have your question tagged as 'write-my-code', and generally they're ignored.

Instantiate the grenade...

Destroy(gameObject, 5);

Well i will be happy to right your code. But this may not work. But go ahead and try it.

function Update ()
{
    yeild WaitForSeconds(5);
    Destroy (gameObject)
}

If this does not work for you search up yeild wait for seconds but this should work. You have to code your own particle emiter though. So you got to do a bit coding yourself too you know.
