dgeesio 1034 Posted November 12, 2012 well imagine situation your friend needs drink you have spare pop but bandits have you locked down .throw a can over to him saves his life and the throwing action is already in the game just not for food or drink.this could be very useful in many situations . could devs have a look at this being done ?the throwing is already ingame so maybe this could be done really easy. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted November 12, 2012 I thought I was about to hate your idea but actually I quite like it. I can't see it being used very often but it would be a nice option. Like you say throwing is already possible anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mos1ey 6301 Posted November 12, 2012 This would be good for giving items to strangers without going in each other's packs too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZomboWTF 527 Posted November 12, 2012 not bad, but maybe generally throwing small items out of the inventory would be a good ideayou could tell people to throw their gun away as far as they can if you got them by the balls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreygar (DayZ) 178 Posted November 12, 2012 Only bad part is you've have to cycle through 10 different things to switch your gun from auto/burst/semi since the throw feature is incorporated in the weapon selector switch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sk1ll3RF3aR 2 Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Don't forget to reload before throwing the can away aye?But yeah like that Idea it's quite usefull, so they could add more stuff to throw?Even wood? Shmash it against the enemy as last chance to escape? Edited November 12, 2012 by Sk1ll3RF3aR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sneekygreenman 196 Posted November 13, 2012 Solid idea methinks, throwing a weapon would be pretty cool, perhaps having a key set to throw whatever was in your hand at that point? and then hot-key the main inventory? this might go a bit off point but...for instanceYour primary is keyed to 1, secondary to 2, that leaves 8 potential keys. perhaps down the inventory space to 8. For instance, you have an M16A3, you want to take a zed but not put a ful mag down to 27 or so, instead of hitting R, hit 6, because you have a mag with only 4 rounds in that inventory space. want a drink after? 0 has a can of coke in it, so hit 0, then the RMB to drink it, empty can in your hand now, hit P to throw it away. A friendly appears, you hit 1 to bring out your primary, as does he, he decides to go out on a limb and hits P to throw his gun down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416 Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) Nice.You could potentially use a combo of this and sneekys' idea to use any item to kill a zed.I want to see someone break a guys leg by throwing morphine injectors at him.

Sutinen 635 Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) The worst idea ever is to chuck your friend a drink while in a firefight... You have a fight to do.I can only image this going like "Hey, I just bandaged myself, throw me a few steaks!"I think there should be bricks or rocks to throw, in addition to the useless tin cans.

Rastamaus 323 Posted November 13, 2012 good idea - beans thrown your way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DayZoey 110 Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) The scenario plays out in my head like this3 survivors, 2 men and a woman. One man is pinned by snipers...Dave: "I can't move but I'm starving!"Alice: "Well we can't go out there or we'll get shot too!"Bob: "Here have these beans!"THWACK!!!Dave: "... *Gurgle*"Alice: "... Boom, headshot..."Bob: "... Well shit..."In all seriousness this is a decent idea but I think a better idea would be to expand the range in which you can trade loot. I know it's confirmed they're scrapping the current inventory system but maybe if you were within 2m of someone and you opened your inventory, you would see if they had room in their inventory and could give items to them but not take them, they'd have to give it to you (prevents people from stealing your stuff through walls and such from 2 meters away)edit: Getting someone by the nuts and telling them to throw their weapon is pretty good, it's better than the ambiguous "Lie down" or "Salute if friendly" stuff that happens as it is.

Siberian (DayZ) 527 Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) id like to have the ability to throw anything from within my inventory..say i find a weapon i dont want to leave behind for someone else to find..instead of trying to make use of my pack to either destroy it or carry it and drop it later, it would be nice to hold a weapon and be able to throw , eithe rinto trees or deep water or whateva.

El Barto 227 25 Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) It'd not only be a handy way to give someone food, you could also throw it at them for the lulz. "Hey, catch!" (throws can at someone's head) Edited November 14, 2012 by El Barto 227 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgeesio 1034 Posted November 14, 2012 there are numerous things that could be done :) nice to see alot like the idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timboski 618 Posted November 15, 2012 Like it. I've always thought more stuff should be throwable. Whether it's to save a friends life or just for teh lulz (or both at the same time) then throwing stuff is a great idea. Beanz given. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jony_RocketInMyPocket 172 Posted November 15, 2012 Throwing food at someone to save them but then maybe you hit them and then they get hurt? INCEPTION! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Candylol 82 Posted November 15, 2012 good idea but it's sort of copying minecraft you can do that stuff in it like throwing stuff and getting it out of your inventory same thing really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dasdarkseed@hotmail.com 21 Posted November 15, 2012 Nice idea! In a firefight i see someone throwing a mag to a friendly though, not food...It could be like right click from inventory, selecting throw item, then if u have visual with the player you want to throw it to, click, and there you go... right into his hands. Otherwise you might end up throwing it too far or too close from his possition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
