Grenade throw type selection

The logic for selecting the grenade throw type is stored in \properties\animation_selector\human_grenade_throw_type.inc

The grenade throw type is determined before the throw via the grenade_throw_type request and does not change until the next throw.

The selection logic uses the following checks:

• cover_type — the type of cover from which the throw is made

• throwing_range — throwing distance

• item_in_hand — check of the item held by the unit

Available grenade throw types in Men of War II (custom types can be added)

• forward — overarm throw, vertical arm movement

• side — sidearm throw, horizontal arm movement

• force — forceful throw

• mega — maximum force throw

The grenade throw type is not the same as selecting the grenade throw animations. The throw type can be checked in Animation Selector files using the human_throw_type parameter in an ifblock.

Example: grenade throw type selection

{grenade_throw_type 
    {if cover_type "snipe_cover" 
        {type "forward"} 
    } 
    {if item_in_hand "m24" "f1" "mk1" "m39" "m61" ; light frag grenades 
        {if throwing_range 0 5 
            {type "forward"} 
        } 
        {if throwing_range 5 10 
            {type "side"} 
        } 
        {if throwing_range 10 20 
            {type "force"} 
        } 
        {type "mega"} 
    }
    [...]
}

Example: checking grenade throw type in an animation selector

{lie_throw_begin 
    {if human_throw_type "force" "mega" 
        {anm "lie_throw_grenade_1_begin"} 
    } 
    {anm "lie_throw_grenade_begin"} 
}
