Sure, we could let the axes have an on_hit trigger that checks on a ground hit if agents are nearby(>2m) and then by a random chance (to simulate the unpredictable bounce direction) makes a damage roll against their leg armor. Just because everyone loves randomness in cRPG.

NOT

Just to make things clear, that was a troll :lol:

Btw, that way to do it looks a bit simplistic. You could simulate a new "throw" by (adding a chance of) creating a transient npc where the axe fell and make that guy throw the axe in a more or less random direction, no ?

With WSE a new projectile with a partly random velocity vector(with lowered magnitude) could be spawned I think.

no point in doing it really.  Franciscas were often bounced under shields.  shields in this game pretty much block ALL attacks from a wide arc.

Man I totally want a game with hyper realistic throwing weapons now.

Of course this will never be that game.

Haha, that just made me think about razor launchers in Unreal  :lol:

Btw, throwing axes should only bounce on grass/dirt, when it is not raining. Just try to throw a table tennis racket like a throwing axe on grass then on a solid surface. It works way better on grass (yeah I tried that when I was 9, the racket wasn't so severly damaged as you could think  :? ).

Before bouncing axes, we need chamber-able arrows.
