Make Civilians throw stones at players?

[PSYKO_nz 42]

how do I go about getting civilians to throw stones at players?

 

i found this post but it was of little to no help
 

if anybody knows a good way to do it, I'm all ears!

That topic makes civies throw grenades that are commonly referred to as stones, they aren't actually stones.  For starters you'll have to make something that's a stone, as far as I know there isn't a throw-able stone object in the game.  You might be able to attach a rock to a chem-light or something after it's thrown but I don't think we have rocks that small. 
After you've figured out a way to get stones in-game you can use several approaches to get civies to throw them at blufor.  Check out the following commands:

They actually do look like stones, but they explode. Maybe it could be deleted before it explodes, or a new object could be created with the .p3d(?)

You'd basically have to create a small addon with a weapon(/ammotype) that utilises the throw mechanic (/weapon) already present in the game. There used to be a similar addon in the good old days for OFP. ("Gimbal Tossers" was the name i think)

 

You might use cobbles or other small objects found in the game as models actually, the addon mentioned used TV sets, vodka bottles, and stones. Just need to link their models as grenade ammo and define their damage values and sounds.
