Asaritears Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) Throwable Daggers So here's the little bit of backstory which led me to this idea... Just before I was thinking about downloading Warzones: Civil Unrest, but I like to play immersively and as most to my characteristics and physical traits as possible, since I'm female this means I dependant highly on sneak and ranged combat to get the job done. Assassin/thief style. This led me to really wonder how I could play through Warzones since I can't just run in and charge people head on with brute force.. Then I thought of some kind of mod that allows me to use daggers or something like that to throw at the target before attacking with the final blow. I searched around the Nexus and found a couple of throwing-knife mods but all hadn't been updated in a long while and were ultimately in very early stages of existence. But then I thought about going about it a different way, and coming back to the daggers I was talking about before... tl;dr - Would it be possible to make a mod that you could use the Mod Config Menu in SkyUI to assign a "throw" button to daggers? Then the mod would include an animation of your character throwing the weapon? This would mean I could use my daggers in CQC but then I could also push a key to use them as a throwing object to hurl at my foes.. Lastly, I only got into Skyrim modding (and PC gaming in general) a couple of months ago so obviously I don't know how possible this would or wouldn't be. I'm thinking the character animations and scripting of a held weapon to be a ranged weapon as well would be tough however... Thoughts?

TheGreenLion Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Those poor mods are pretty outdated, but they were definitely cool. I suppose you could make a spell that only works if you've got the dagger equipped as a condition, and uses the model as the projectile. I remember seeing a mod that had a staff that shot exploding chickens. Or, make a "quiver" that looks like the sheathed dagger with the "arrow" being the dagger itself. Then you'd just need some animations for the throwing and the projectile. That would be the hard part I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaritears Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Yea the animations seem like the hard part.. I think using it as an arrow and quiver wouldn't be right coz then there would only be certain weapons you could do it with.. I'm talking like all daggers...

senterpat Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The default power attack animation can be used to throw, the throwing knife mod used it I believe and it just looks like an overhand throw. As for the hotkey, should be able to be done. I remember new Vegas had a grenade hotkey mod. I'd look into a mod that adds hotkeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaritears Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 A lot of mods add hotkeys don't they? The ones that use the MCM configuration.... How hard would it be to add a new animation for the throwable dagger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormWalker183 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I'm currently looking into adding new animations for my 1-hand crossbow mod, and while it's rather complicated, it does seem to be possible. You might want to check out FNIS (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/11811). But to add the ability to throw any dagger will require more scripting than anything else.

Asaritears Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 damn I wish I knew how to mod... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormWalker183 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 It's never too late to learn. I just started modding myself, specializing in modeling. The community's extremely helpful, and I'd be happy to assist you if you decided to start (although I'm afraid scripting goes over my head a bit).

Deleted1308005User Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Maybe the author of TK combat could help you guys?http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/29137 From what I see on that mod, I'd say it'd be somewhat possible to do something like you suggested.

Asaritears Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 I contacted the tk combat author, but I think s/he doesn't speak much english so I'm not sure how we'll go there, Anyone want to be a translator? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
