Underarm grenade throw

Dunno if this can be done with animation work, or how much workload it would require.
Hold left mouse to load overarm grenade throw, like right click does now (atleast personally i never use left click, so it wouldn't be missed), and right click loads underarm throw.

Besides cosmetics, does tossing the grenade underhand do anything different than overhand?

Could create a different trajectory for use in clearing buildings. Now you just toss and let the thing roll, instead of bouncing it on the ground a few times while having to time the right click.

There is already the right click throw which you can charge. I don't know if the physics could handle the rolling too well.

tell you the truth the right click can do the same thing, sure its abit ackward but then again it gets the same job done. If you havnt noticed your player doesnt arch the grenade he only throws it straight, its up to you to arch it.

This is hardcoded, you would have to change 100 diffrent things to make this work

?what?

If it's hardcoded, it's impossible to implement. If it's possible to do by changing '100 different things' then it's not hardcoded...

Other than the aesthetics of the actual 3P animation, I don't see much point in this suggestion. Also, other than have someone contradict themselves and say it's hardcoded, I'd rather hear from an expert as to whether it's possible with the left/ right click.
