GrenadeThrowRangeFix

This mod fixes the calculation of the throw range of grenades. This is a migration to the Steam Workshop of my original mod created for Modnix.

Description

The original method to calculate the throwing range doesn't take the defined ranges for hand thrown grenades into account. This value is also shown to the player as 'Range' in the stats overview of grenades and is set to 16 for the PX Odin and Heal grenade and 12 for alomst any other.

The vanilla calculation is:

(Endurance * EnduranceToThrowMultiplier) / GrenadeWeight * RangeMultiplier + BonusAttackRange

• Endurance is the Strength of the actor
• EnduranceToThrowMultiplier is a fixed value for each actor and set to 0.6
• GrenadeWeight is from the grenades definition, all have a weight of 1
• RangeMultiplier is an input variable for the calculation function and comes from the ThrowGrenade_ShootAbilityDef.ProjectileRangeMultiplier, fixed set to 1.0
• BonusAttackRange is from abilities like Boom Blast (+50% range), so normally 0.0

This means that any grenade has always the same range regardless of its shown range value in the UI (12 tiles with 20 strength).

This mod changes the calculation to:

((Endurance * EnduranceToThrowMultiplier * GrenadeRange / 12) / GrenadeWeight * RangeMultiplier + BonusAttackRange) * ThrowRangeMultiplier

• GrenadeRange is the value from the grenade definitions under DamagePayload.Range
• ThrowRangeMultiplier is a configurable value.

To adjust the 'ThrowRangeMultiplier' see "MODS" -> "MOD SETTINGS" in the main menu, default set to 100 = with 20 strength the throw range in tiles will be what is shown in the grenade stats.

This mod is mainly a helper for other modders that want to tweak the throwing range of the grenades in this game. The vanilla ranges are 16 for the PX Odin and Heal grenade and 12 for almost any other grenade, so be aware that the Odin and Heal grenade get a significant buff with this mod from 12 up to 16 tiles range with 20 strength.
