Hurl Forklift?

[Starhammer]

How hard would it be to give Super Strength > Hurl Boulder a graphical option to throw random junk (forklifts, pool tables, etc) like Gravity Controllers?

I don't think it'd be that hard per se, but the issue is that the animation would still have you reach down, grab at the ground, then throw the object, which would look weird.  The rock also doesn't persist like propel's does...

I seem to remember that During the Winter Event that the boulder is changed out for a Christmas Present, so I assume it would be possible as long as the size of the object fits within the motion range and scale of the existing animation. That would allow for a lot, from Mailboxes to TVs, but probably not as large as you are thinking without it looking strange and clipping the character and the environment.

Ooh! What if there was an option to always be able to throw the Christmas presents! *dreams of running around giving everyone gifts for random reasons at range*

The enemies also hurled presents.  The missions full of warwolves were glorious.

And ToT Werewolves will be hurling coffins this year 🙂

The temporary change to christmas present is the sole reason I rolled up Missus Claus, Gravity Controller (it happens with Propel). So much fun hurling presents at the misbehaving adults of Paragon City.

Relevant patch notes:

• Halloween Werewolf enemies will throw coffins using their Hurl power instead of boulders.

 

And reaching into the ground to grab a coffin does make some sense. At least as much sense as being on the third story of a building, reaching down into the floor and grabbing a rock.
