Need help to trigger buff on zombie when grenade explodes

[doughphunghus]

How/can you get an item/ammo (like a grenade or pipe bomb) to just knock zeds down (but for like 10 seconds not the built in stagger/fall and get back up) without them taking damage? Think "concussion grenade".

I'm making some basic mods and I can't seem to get buffs to apply to a zombie (when hit/affected by an explosion) other than the built in buffs that come with the thrown item (a grenade explodes and zeds are affected on its area of explosion, a moltov explodes and makes fire in an area, etc, but i cant get a moltov to apply a buff for a knockdown/ragdoll, or a grenade to explode without damage and just knock zeds down for a determined time (like 10 seconds)

So you'd want something like this...

<item name="thrownGrenadeConcussion">
<property name="Tags" value="ammo,weapon,attPerception,perkDemolitionsExpert"/>
<property name="ItemTypeIcon" value="explosion"/>
<property name="DisplayType" value="ammoGrenadeContact"/>

<property name="Explosion.DamageBonus.water" value="0"/>

	<property name="Throw_strength_default" value="8"/>
	<property name="Throw_strength_max" value="50"/>
	<property name="Max_strain_time" value="1.25"/>
	<property name="Sound_start" value="grenade_throw"/>
	<property name="Gravity" value="-5"/>
	<requirement name="CVarCompare" cvar="_underwater" operation="LT" value=".98"/>
</property>
<property class="Action1">
	<property name="Class" value="Activate"/>
	<property name="Delay" value="1"/>
	<property name="Sound_start" value="grenade_pullpin"/>
</property>
<property name="ThrowableDecoy" value="true"/>
<effect_group tiered="false">
	<triggered_effect name="onProjectileImpact" action="AddBuff" target="positionAOE" range="5" buff="buffInjuryKnockdown01"/>
</effect_group>
</item>

Specifically the triggered effect bit. I removed all damage from the grenade, set it to use a knockdown buff that already exists in the game, and set the range to the same as Explosion.RadiusEntities.

That bit of code tells the game to put out a buff within a 5 block radius (positionAOE) at the point of impact (onProjectileImpact). You CAN limit it to just zombies if you want, but that should work for everything.
