Object drag mechanic improvement

[Nuculais]

Trying to drag objects quickly is annoying at the moment because at the max drag distance it is considered too far so resets the objects position. This means if you want to drag objects far quickly you have to place them just before the max distance which is frustrating. It would be a lot easier if the max distance was the same but still allowed the object to be placed.

Or implement throwing ...

yeah I agree with this thread. It looks like it has some potential but the execution is bad, especially in combat.

What you mean by "it has some potential"? The game or drag mechanic?

I was referring to the drag mechanic. I've tried a few times, while fighting, pick up objects like chairs and whatnot and drop them in the swing path of my opponent to block with, or on top of them to see if it fouls up their movement or trips them.

There is a lot of creative potential here, but the problem the OP mentioned with the item resetting at the edge of the radius just makes this painful to experiment with. After a few hours of messing with it, I came to the conclusion it is just too clunky to invest time into further.

The bar level in the arena is a pretty neat potential instance of "Oh hey here's a guy in the bar with a knife, i'm going to grab a chair and defend myself"
