Title: Secondary mode = Throw Sword
Post by: Korgoth on December 21, 2011, 11:23:33 am
I've always wanted this in a mod. Basically all short swords have a secondary mode where you can throw the sword. Of course you only have one sword so it's important that you don't waste them and because you only get one it should do quite a lot of damage.

Well no. But thats the shitty game engines fault. Same reason you cant take arrows from dead bodies or ladders.

I thought of it more as a... find a sword on the floor. Throw it!

I want to throw my bow as a boomerang, with high blunt damage, speed bonus and knockdown. After that it returns so I can finish the guy off with an arrow  8-)

Would be cooler if the bow kept firing arrows while flying... like the ultimate weapon in The Last Starfighter... but medieval style.

OP: Yeah, but I want to throw my 2 handed like in Rutger Hauer in Ladyhawke...

*Accidentally switches to throw mode while dueling and throws weapon away instead of swinging - Oh crap.*

And people complain about the amount of range around already and you want to make it so that everyone has the ability to just launch their weapons when they get bored of them? Go for throwing, it's what it's there for...

It could be cool if it had a high chance to glance, a low chance to do little damage, and a very low chance to do high damage.

I wanna throw a pike.

I didn't say all weapons. I just said short swords and small one handed swords. I don't want massive two hander swords flying around. This isn't Braveheart.

you got my vote.
now, the only thing is that if ur throwing 1h u need 1h wpf to be accurate not throwing wpf.
should still be harder that normal throwing, with high damage and high chance to go thru shields

If you can throw around swords, all weapons should be throwable! Throwing pikes and flamberges!  :mrgreen:

Best finishing move to a duel ever.

Also we need to add decapitation and arm removal.

And yeah, 2h throwing is necessary and realistic as displayed here.

The problem with this, iirc, is that anything marked as throwable automatically defaults to throwing mode.  So any new players using short swords would be randomly throwing them at the start of matches, same with old players who tend to click by mistake at the start of rounds.

Well this would be epic to watch, at least for once xD

If you add it, no serious player is going to be accidentally throwing swords after the first few rounds where it's implemented.
