pillock 850 Posted April 28, 2014 Slings and catapults are definitely weapons that should make it into the game somewhere along the line. They just make so much sense in DayZ's scenario. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ForceRecon (DayZ) 10 Posted April 28, 2014 Centrifugal force is your friend. There is no such thing as centrifugal force. It would be the centripetal force of rotating the stone that creates the velocity. Centrifugal force was used to explain the pull effect when a vehicle was making a turn at a high speed until scientists realised that it was the inertia or the mass of the vehicle creating the pull factor at those speeds. Similar to how you should zig zag when being chased by a bear because its harder for them to turn with their greater mass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StoutAle 69 Posted April 28, 2014 I'm all for throwing items in the game, not only because I want to hit someone in the head with a rock (or is it a stone?) just for the fun of it but I also can see a time when smoke grenades (even if not the huge military ones, give me the fireworks one I can toss in a room someone is camping in) and such are around. Getting the physics down now just opens doors (that may or may not be used) for the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hombrecz 832 Posted April 28, 2014 though the ballistic knife would probably be floating around chenarus ideas thanks. Please just no to ballistic knife. Anyway throwing, in general, should be doable and I imagine hiting somebody's head with stone would cause some harm.Knife stuck in somebody also should slow him down. So yes, throwing in general sounds good, the other thing is, how engine can handle it O_o.I certainly don't want anything that will make DayZ run even worse.

Zoring 25 Posted April 28, 2014 Complete waste of resources and effort considering how little content the game already has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zig-zag all you like, those fuckers can run at 40mph! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

irishroy 1347 Posted April 28, 2014 I would love to have them.But I understand, this wouldn't be good for the gameplay. ==> Nope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
