📋 About This Mod
DESCRIPTION
This mod is an SKSE plugin that allows you to throw your equipped weapons.
It doesn't come with its own throwable weapons. It makes any vanilla or mod added melee weapon or shield or torches throwable. Even bound weapons!
HOW TO THROW:
Hold the "button", swing your hand to the direction you want weapon to go, let go of the button in one quick motion just like throwing a real life object. The "button" is Trigger by default but can be changed from MCM.
You can throw with your left hand or right hand, or both at the same time!
MODES:
There are two modes for throwing a weapon: Auto-Return and Classic(Auto-Return disabled)
The mod ships with "Thor's Hammer Medium" preset selected, so auto-return mode is enabled for all weapons by default.
AUTO-RETURN MODE:
In Auto-Return mode, which can be selected from MCM for each weapon type, the thrown weapon returns when you press the "button" again after it's gone flying off your hand. You can recall it in the middle of the flight if you want, you can recall it after it hit an npc etc. it's up to you. If you don't recall it for 30-600 seconds(Configurable in MCM), it returns by itself to your hand. The weapon is equipped again on return. The return has a very cool visual and sound effect too.
CLASSIC MODE:
If Auto-Return mode is disabled for a weapon, you can pick up your thrown weapons from the environment and they will be transferred to your inventory. There is an optional Auto-Equip on pickup setting in the MCM if you want to equip it automatically when you pick up a thrown weapon and your hand is empty.
There are Reequip options in the MCM if you want to equip the same weapon or similar automatically after a throw if you have more.
When you hit an NPC with the thrown weapon, you may find it in their inventory when you look at it, they can also use that weapon in combat before they die.
OTHER FEATURES:
[]Bound weapons are throwable including Spellsiphon bound weapons. You can't pick those up from the ground or have them return to you of course.[/]
[*]Auto-Aim is added in version 1. 1. It's completely adjustable from MCM. I
