I had same idea as you with the fastball however i tried to fix the annoying issue: Grenades still bounce off enemies they explode when hitting hard sufraces but from enemies they bounce off.
I tried to make them explode also when hitting enemies like the Molotov does but couldn't find how. I see your mod also has this "problem" oh well i guess its better than nothing.
I recently started playing Fo4 again and yeah have noticed this issue. The baseball grenades are still more useful than vanilla, but do not detonate on impact with actors like I want them to. Not sure I have the knowledge or patience to resolve this problem.
I think it's sorta charming that it bounces off their face, good for crowds if you throw it at the person in the back, where it will then go into the middle of multiple people.
I like the playfulness of it though, I think you should instead make it do 40 damage to their body and 80 damage to their head, and then explode like normal when it hits the ground?
If you throw a molotov against a usual enemy, means against an unarmored person it also wouldn't blow up until it drops to the hard floor. It would indeed need to hit a decent solid hard surface to either break if it's the bottle, or get a shock to ignite if it's the contact grenade.
Makes perfect sense. A baseball is designed to be thrown fast and straight (depending on grip, of course, but then again, the mod isn't called "Curveball" ). Endorsed!
This really is one of the untapped jewels of the Nexus. It makes the baseball grenade actually very useful. Now I am trying to get as many baseballs as I can. Thanks for posting this great mod!
I figured I'd stop by and throw in a comment. This mod is super simple, but makes the baseball grenades extremely fun! KUDOS to the fastball! I especially like how the game just recalculated the throwing trajectory for you so you didn't have to mess with it.
I really don't understand how this hasn't been downloaded by more people....
Soooo, this is now basically how I expected the baseball grenade to be in the first place when I found it?? (I was REALY dissapointed when I found out how useless it is: it's weak, needs a perk and alot of materials to craft and you find more grenades and molotovs than you ever need, so no reason to craft it in vanila) Edit: esp. the exploding on impact is very interesting
Neat! I finally put points into the explosive expert perk but found that the baseball grenades suck. But this makes them really interesting! I'll give it a shot!
