So I gave light lances the option to be thrown and this is how it works.

Thrown Polehammers would be a bit unbelievable,
I can imagine having all spears be throwable, it would be rather cool, the only problem is that the bots would probably end up throwing their weapons away.

Aye. In MP it'd be a hoot if everyone was able to throw their main weapon (falchions, cleavers, morningstars...) but I'd worry about the bots, yeah. AWdeV just pointed that out to me.
But then you couldn't throw the weapons you scavenged from the dead.
Nevertheless in a mutliplayer only mod every weapon could be throwable without problems. It would be weird though, people would take free swords in extra slots just for throwing!

The mod should also use the overhead attack animation for the throwing of most weapons.

You have not lived until you've pitched a bastard sword end over end and watched a few inches of it sink into a tree.faradon said:

I mean't to say weapons scavenged from bots, if bot spears were not throwable then you cannot throw them when you pick them up.
1. Any weapon you make throwable is more likely to be thrown than used in melee by the ai
2. Any weapon you make unthrowable will never be thrown.
3. A throwable weapon is a throwing weapon in it's standard form, a throwable pike will start out in the throwing hand and you have to click x before using it in melee.

2 seems very logical to me...
Throwing shields anyone?
Throwing shields anyone?
Lol that would be awesome! Aswell funny to have 2 shields equiped.
@Baron this was my idea:
You take the weapon Boar Spear. You clone it. So that way you have Boar Spear 1 and Boar spear 2.
Boar Spear 1 you make throwable. Boar Spear 2 you let that one remain melee only.
You equip the troops with both weapons. If the Bot has thrown all off his Boar Spear 1, he will still have Boar spear 2 for melee combat. If he hasen't thrown all of Boar spear 1 you can just scavenge that from the floor.
Doesn't seem to be very unlogical. it would solve youre problem that the ai would throw away his own weapon. guess youre thinking to advanced on the subject.

how do you do that???(making lances get trowed)
If you put itp_next_item_as_melee
onto a throwing weapon then it will switch to the next item in the item file when you click x (The switch button in-game.
Heres my code:
["light_lance", "Throwing Lance", [("spear_b_2-75m",0)], itp_type_thrown |itp_merchandise|itp_primary|itp_next_item_as_melee ,itcf_throw_javelin,
180 , weight(4)|difficulty(2)|spd_rtng(87) | shoot_speed(12) | thrust_damage(50 , pierce)|max_ammo(1)|weapon_length(100),imodbits_thrown ],
["light_lanceb", "Light Lance", [("spear_b_2-75m",0)], itp_type_polearm|itp_offset_lance|itp_merchandise| itp_primary|itp_penalty_with_shield|itp_wooden_parry, itc_cutting_spear,
180 , weight(2.5)|difficulty(0)|spd_rtng(85) | weapon_length(175)|swing_damage(16 , blunt) | thrust_damage(27 , pierce),imodbits_polearm ],
The first item is the throwing weapon and that is what you use on soldiers, the second one is the one that is used after pressing the switch key.

I am not sure, I haven't tested bows and crossbows.
Melee weapons seemed to work but the model didn't change.
