Throwable... everything.

[colekern 1364]

Hey guys. I know there is a similar suggestion out there, but it was very old this idea is slightly different.

Anyways, I suggest that we allow to equip, and throw, well... everything.

An out of the way key (p, for example, so we don't accidentally throw our gun.)

would be bound to throwing and dropping. If you just press the key, you drop the item. If you hold it, you throw it.

It might present some developement challenges, but it would be a cool and useful feature.

Here the thread I got the idea from: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/125310-throwing-hatchets/

When all else fails. Throw your boots.

Makes sense as long as players aren't automatically turned into "Jack Dagger" or given mysterious tomahawk skills. I really don't want to see knife or hatchet throwing being an effective and easy way to kill people...

I don't know whether to laugh at this post, or make serious discussion. <-- No offense meant.

On one hand, I can see great things come of this. On the other, I see chaos.

Imagine someone in a firefight that just randomly whips an AK at someones face, or people throwing M1911s and Makarovs at each other. Crushing rabbits and chickens under Car tires and engines, gathering all the random shit you can to try and Brett Farve a zombie in the face from 50m away. Pure insanity...

It's not a terrible idea though dude. It would add to game mechanics and make the game more realistic, once they worked out the bugs (which always takes ages).

Yeah, no magic knife or hatchet throwing skills.

But I want to be able to throw my knife across the map and insta-kill someone.

Like a magician lol. A hatchet or a axe will mostlikely inflict a beast wound or even kill do to the fast blood loss. A knife in the other hand unless is a bowie would just wound depending where it lands haha I been knocked out with tin cans by some douche ones. Needless to say the zombies eat me.

Well, if player damage modelling is made realistic it wouldn't be a good idea to be throwing bulky magazines at each others faces, since it would cause bruising and damage if it hit hard enough.

Yeah, no magic knife or hatchet throwing skills.

This knife/hatchet throwing could be one of those skills that can be developed over time. I think in the case of motor and 'fitness' related skills, that would develop through use in real life as well it would be acceptable to have 'skills'. Just keep them invisible, so players can't go scrolling through a list of attributes, like in The Elder Scrolls games.

now as weapons and loot are objects, in fact there is a huge possibility to let them be throwable.

If you are referring to this thread http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/125310-throwing-hatchets/ , it's from yesterday :)

You could at least put a link. But whatever.

I just want to point out that the throwing doesn't always need to be used for killing purposes.

You could throw items from the top of the building for a friend that's guarding the entrance.

Toss your backpack in the bush if a bandit is chasing you (hopefully not trowing feces at you)

so if he kills you he won't get your loot.

Basketball..

Brett Favre a zombie, as in constantly changing your team with the zombies....?

[BSB Jimmy 360]

[joe_mcentire 2074]

Just think about the possibilities...

pieces of zombies! like bowling with a head!

no really! as i said before this would be really a nice addition to the game. not sure about the ingame physics though ..

Hello there

it would be nice to be able to manipulate all items in game. it doesn't have to be silly. But can the engine be modified enough to handle it? I just don't see it happening. Prove me wrong devs!

Two prior topics HERE and HERE.

I'm not here to burst anyone's bubble, just drawing attention to a mass of discussion on the topic already.

I like the idea of being able to panic-throw an empty rifle when the shit hits the fan, or pass gear to your buddies without leaving cover.

But tomahawks and throwing knives? Not so much.

Throwing a knife into a surface isn't as easy as people like to think. The floor around my dartboard can attest to that.
