Biohazard186 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Is there a mod to fix the hitboxes so the molotovs I throw don't blow up a foot in front of me after hitting "nothing"? Like many, I'm playing survival and I'm really f*#@ing tired of dying to molotovs that clearly have nothing in front of them but still manage to blow up before leaving my hand. The most egregious case just happened to me, I was crouched on a roof looking down, the angle of depression was about 45 degrees so I was throwing away from the building, and I was right on the edge of the rooftop. No way it could have hit anything. And yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you open up SpecialEffect\Projectile\MolotovCocktailProjectile in the Creation Kit, you can change the collision radius there and try out different values in game until you find something you're satisfied with.

Biohazard186 Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 I have actually been playing with that since I posted but it hasn't seemed to have any effect. Will continue to mess with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will continue to mess with it.Did you try to see what happened when it was set to 0? I did. I also just tested it on -2. After all my testing I've come to the conclusion the problem may not lie in static hitboxes but the molotov model itself. When you throw a molotov it spins unpredictably. Sometimes it spins in such a way that it passes by a static object just fine. Other times it spins so that the model clips the object, triggering the explosion. This randomness and unpredictability is not a fair game mechanic and I think the solution lies in editing the physical model of the molotov projectile so it is smaller than it looks.
