Can't throw grenade if you don't have a weapon?

[icebreakr 3159]

I've made an "Angry mob" addon and armed the guys with 6 stones (class=handgrenade_stone) and a smoke bomb (class=smokeshell). AI can use them sucessfully but if one of the human players plays as their member he can't use nor the stone nor the bomb. If he picks up a pistol (makarov,m9) options for throw appear.

Config included standard "Throw" and "Put" options. This is a serious limitation for a milsim, since majority of ROE clearly state that armed persons will be engaged in riots.

Any clues how to fix that?

Edit: found that this bugticket is still at open status for the past 10 months. Its possible to throw when prone/crouched but not while standing. Possible to fix in the config.cpp/with script?

Shouldn't this belong in ArmA 2: Addons Discussion?

Nah, it belongs in a new section named: "ArmA 2: Known issues that are easy to fix but noone cares".

Bug #1638 has a place reserved aswell

I can throw grenades without a weapon. I just need to hit F a few times. I tend to play as a civilian to check out my unit placements and sometimes I take grenades from backs of trucks and it will let me use them. They just don't pop up right away. Did you use addweapon as well as addmagazine? Maybe it has something to do with that.

EDIT: Yep I just checked and I can pick them out of the US Ordinance box and throw them. So the problem isn't with that.

concerning custom throwable objects:

if you do custom addon of custom grenade with class different than BIS "throw", it required new "throw"

for example in P85 there are other grenades than BIS made (F1, Mk2) and to throw them "p85_throw" weapon is defined

without this, you can't throw magazine "p85_f1"

maybe it is a case here??? not new "throw" defined ???

Well, it works - you can throw grenade if you crouch or go prone. Only "standing" doesn't worK ;)

maybe this is to simulate them picking them up off the ground? lol

That's odd. I was fairly sure that I was standing when I threw them. Maybe not though.
