    I've had way too many slays for people discarding discombobs and frags and the sort, and freaking the hell out of me on maps such a Terrortrain, my favorite, and many others, so i've made a petition to make unannounced discarding KOSable.

    Just leave a poll tick and comment, we're aiming for 25+ people here.

    Sorry, maybe before the update where they added arming animation I might have agreed with you, but it's easier to tell now because it falls differently, sounds different, and has a different animation.

    Or instead of reacting right away, you could always just wait to see if the actual nade goes off. If it does and it is anything but a smoke, then you can feel free to kill the person who threw it.

    The problem with this is that it might kill you before you can get a KOS off...
    That's the point..

    How though? You could simply move away from the area that may affected whilst keeping your eye on the offender. It isn't a hard thing to do. And as @Spooctorious has already stated, the animation for this is different now too.

    As anna just said, you can wait for the detonation from a safe location to see what kind of grenade was.

    I often run into these situations when someone wants to change a smoke grenade to an incendiary or when they play with you to think they just throw it but instead they just drop it with Q.

    The thing is, not only is the animation COMPLETELY different.
    You also could loophole so hard out of this.
    Imagine if I'm playing with Anna and I kill her. She asks why. I say she "dropped a nade".
    There is NO way of checking that in our logs, therefore without video evidence it'd be word versus word.

    See why this isn't very pragmatic?

    So make another animation for dropping, you made one for throwing. Plus, there may be a situation you can't walk away from, such as an enclosed room.

    We didn't make the animation, it was an update via the developers for all of Gmod.
    You realize that the only two thing you can do is drop or throw the grenade.
    Therefore if throwing it has a different animation.. why would you need another one for dropping.. if it's already different...

    It's a GMod animation and yes animations are completely different; the sounds are different too. Maybe instead of thinking it's the games fault, you should look inward. Get to know the difference between dropping and throwing.

    Could i get files? Or links in the appdata?
    I'll look at this later, it's time for getting off the computer for me.

    Don't be too trigger happy. Stay calm, understand the situation THEN act.

    You said a different animation, when the animations are different. One is clearly it being thrown overhead, the other is the guy pooping out the said projectile object.

    How much more different would you like the animation to be, them bowling with the nade instead?

    No thank you. To many possible loopholes, and misunderstandings.

    Tbh if you can't differentiate between someone throwing the nade and someone dropping it, it just means you need to familiarize yourself with the game more. When you are familiar with the nade animation you can even do fancy stuff like killing a T before they even chuck that Frag grenade out of their palm since they have to hold on to the frag for a few seconds to time the explosion.

  17. We should make it so whenever you throw a grenade, your arms flail in a wild fashion

    If you've been playing for a year then you should notice that there's a difference between when someone drops a grenade and when someone throws a grenade. And since you're implying that you don't know the difference, you are bad, no matter how long you've been playing.

    as far as making a new animation goes, its far too difficult of a solution for a problem that could be fixed by paying attention to what players are doing around you.
    no thanks, too much trouble and it's not worth trying to fix bad players
