More throwing choices

[adman85]

I want to change in game items like baseballs, toasters, pots and plates etc (non useful junk) to have the option of throwing it as a weapon (or maybe just making them weapons), and possibly add simple things like rocks, bricks and Molotovs etc.

How would one go about this, I mean the textures for most of the junk stuff are already there how would i make them weapons?

Also is there a way of making the skill attached to thrown weapons to say survival maybe?

Input or similar mod suggestions are appreciated.

You can't make any item that does not count to the weapon category a weapon. YOu'd need to make a new weapon using its model and spread it along the wasteland. You can't convert existing "non-weapon" items to weapons.

[adman85]

ok fair enough, then I guess the question now is,

How much messing around will it take to put textures from junk items onto new weapons and projectiles (e.g. baseball)? i mean the pre existing animations should be pretty solid, and for projectile wise, remember the Rock It launcher? surely it couldnt be that hard?

Like all items the junk items come textured, so if you plan using these there is no need to fumble with the textures. For animations my recommendation would be to look at grenades or spears, they dont have a "projectile" as they are the projectile themselves. pretty easy to make.

Hi , I found a thread similar in concept that may have useful information or inspiration for something

 

Heres The Link

 

Throwing Rocks At It

[adman85]

thanks for the links, close to what I was looking for, very close, but I wanted NPC's to be able to throw rocks and stuff as well, sounds like i'd need the thrown object anims first.

Oh and i figured rock throwing could be a bit stronger than 5-10 damage, depending on the size of the rock and your strength or skill level.. I mean have you ever been hit by a thrown rock? I saw a guy get his head split open by a rock as big as a golf ball.

Just saying lol.

Thanks though man, keep me updated if u see any others.

Well they may not be exactly what your looking for but there is large thread over expanding melee and unarmed combat as well as non-lethal weapons in game, possibly an idea or two there may help you think of some new things

 

Melee/Unarmed And Possibly Non-Lethal

 

Then heres my own personal mega thread which I try to link and connect to any interesting topics (even if no one else has posted on them in quite a while) Perhaps an idea or thread in here may be of some use
