Underarm grenade throw

[hx.bjoffe]

Dunno if this can be done with animation work, or how much workload it would require.
Hold left mouse to load overarm grenade throw, like right click does now (atleast personally i never use left click, so it wouldn't be missed), and right click loads underarm throw.

Besides cosmetics, does tossing the grenade underhand do anything different than overhand?

yes it doesn't go as farand goes down stairs better and hills a rolls down hills etc.

Could create a different trajectory for use in clearing buildings. Now you just toss and let the thing roll, instead of bouncing it on the ground a few times while having to time the right click.

There is already the right click throw which you can charge. I don't know if the physics could handle the rolling too well.

[Ccharge]

tell you the truth the right click can do the same thing, sure its abit ackward but then again it gets the same job done. If you havnt noticed your player doesnt arch the grenade he only throws it straight, its up to you to arch it.

other question: why grenade model is not rolling in the air and smoke nade does : > ?

If it could be done it would be something id like to see ingame...

This is hardcoded, you would have to change 100 diffrent things to make this work

?what?

If it's hardcoded, it's impossible to implement. If it's possible to do by changing '100 different things' then it's not hardcoded...

Other than the aesthetics of the actual 3P animation, I don't see much point in this suggestion. Also, other than have someone contradict themselves and say it's hardcoded, I'd rather hear from an expert as to whether it's possible with the left/ right click.

Would be pleasing to the eye

i doubt this is hardcoded.. would be pleasing to see i agree, but i kinda like the right click function.. i wouldnt give it up for an underarm throw

It wouldn't have to be like that, it would probably be able to keep the charge option for the right mouse button and an underhand throw to the left button, I'm pretty sure.

Though I too would like to see how this could be coded, perhaps in some form similar to grappling hooks where the LMB and RMB perform different actions. And underhand throwing would be very useful especially when clearing buildings, considering throwing it would lead to other problems, often involving TKs.

[Garmax]

not just for clearing buildings but i have a problem sometimes trying to hit something in specific the hard throw is too much and i cant waste time or granades or measuring the power of my throw.. a quick underhand toss might help

[Redamare]

when right clicking the granade thow botton it should be under throw.. and the left click should be normal throw since the right click is controled.. even though you cant judge it with out a throw indicator :S

[major sharpe]

for every one that cant throw greanades why not use the infantry training areas provided to practice throwing them or if your an insegent practice with those rocks

[hiberNative]

i approve of this idea. i imagine myself playfully underarmthrowing one over walls etc.
