Post by: Phalanx300 on November 18, 2011, 05:07:46 pm
Says it all, would be nice. Also seeing stones can currently be used in melee.

Implementation is possible.

Problem is with the dagger model. It won't turn around, so your character would try to stab people with the grip in throwing style.

Other weps like javs and axes have it easy, daggers aren't that easy, if not impossible to turn around to melee-mode correctly.

So just flip it so you throw it from the handle instead of the blade as well.  Problem solved.

Umm, what? The model can change with the mode, just take a look at javelins.

Actually no. It doesn't seem to flip automatically.

(click to show/hide)

Besides, wouldn't this change be a bit redundant? The damage would be so low it'd barely pierce anything and don't even mention the range.

This would also need three more heirloom levels made solely for the melee dagger. The devs most likely want to avoid adding too many new weapons to the mod in order to avoid the bug which causes weapons to look like something else when dropped (sometimes not being pick-uppable).

Actually a ordinary dagger can do some nasty damage. As long as a trowing dagger will be as strong as a ordinary dagger in melee I see no problems. And would see a interesting new playing style.

I believe the main problem with throwing it from the handle is that projectiles that 'stick' to the target would have the blade outside and the handle inside them.

This already happens sometimes.

I never said it would. You have to assign a different model for the melee mode if you want it to differ from the throwing one.
