Obsidian Conflict Forums

I need an animated weapon of a throwing potato or some other type of vegetable. Some type of food that you can throw but it doesn't have to do much damage. If you're up for making something odd please do me this favor.

I would imagine all you need to do is model a potato and copy it into the animations of throwing a grenade, then set up the custom weapon script. I just don't have the time to try it out right now. I'm trying to crank out a 4 map series and potatoes aren't at the top of my list.

But these are potatoes camarad commissar. Why are we using potatoes instead of real grenades?

(Sorry i tried to stop myself from writing this but I couldn't)

Mmh, does the grenade really work in the custom scripts? I couldn't make mine work. If it does anyway, your potato or vegetable will deal damage by explosion, it will seem awkward imo.

I've seen some unusual requests since I've been hanging around these forums but you Sir,

you take First Prize!

Oh god i couldnt stop myself... HAHAHAHA!THAT WOULD BE EPIC!THROWING POTATOS AT COMBINES!Heres a link to a potato model that sadly looks nothing like a potato(This is the only potato model on garrysmod.org sry): http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=39509 Sry that I linked to the sent but there was no download of just the model.

trowing potatoes at enemies or at friends to annoy them.
first time i heard about such a request its good.

I like it.

Reminds me of throwing bricks in TimeSplitters 2, and I loved it. A potato weapon would be briliant

you could have a puzzle map where in one section you need to hit tagets. You could throw potatoes. may sound like a silly idea but it can be used ^^

Freekill, I didn't know you practiced Nercomancy.

lol

If appropriate, I was going to post an idea earlier today about a can of soda that you can throw at people (shoot or hit something to blow it up) or spray in their faces (making them do that anim like they've been hit by bug bait or knocked down/paralized for antlions and guards) that would also block other player's view if friendly fire is on or for pvp.

There is an Object already built into the game that is half finished, if you want to have it work better, go ahead and learn C++ and code it http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Brickbat

I kinda thought of the invisible potato from Ed, Edd, n' Eddy.
"Don't blink!"

The OP reminded me of Call of Duty 2 where you are doing the training mission and instead of grenades to practise, you have potatoes, and the guy says "Real grenades are worth more than you comrades"
