README

Knife Throw Animation

A small add-on for Path of Valheiman.

Path of Valheiman's Dagger Throw turns a one-handed knife's secondary attack into a throw, but it borrows the spear-throw animation for it. This mod gives knife throws their own animation: the arm swings back and up along an even arc beside the head, then whips straight forward over the shoulder and follows through.

Only knife throws are affected. Spears keep the vanilla throw, and Path of Valheiman itself is not modified.
The knife leaves from the throwing hand at the release frame of the new animation, instead of the spear's spawn point. Aiming, damage and Weapon Return work as before.
Other players who also have the mod see your knife throws animated the same way.

Installation

Install with r2modman / Thunderstore Mod Manager, or copy KnifeThrowAnim.dll and knifethrow.bundle together into BepInEx/plugins/KnifeThrowAnimation/.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/valheim.knifethrowanim.cfg (created on first launch):

Setting	Default	Description
`General.Enabled`	`true`	Use the custom animation for thrown knives.
`General.RemotePlayers`	`true`	Also animate other players' knife throws (judged by the weapon in their right hand).
`Spawn.FromHand`	`true`	Launch the knife from the right hand instead of the spear's spawn point.
`Spawn.Forward`	`0.2`	Metres ahead of the hand where the knife appears.
`Spawn.Up`	`0`	Metres above the hand where the knife appears.

How it works

The custom clip replaces the spear-throw clip through an AnimatorOverrideController, only while the player holds a knife, so the animator's states and parameters stay untouched.
