The Throwable Item Item Action allows the character to throw an object such as a grenade or baseball. The Grenade Item is a subclass that allows the pin from a grenade to be removed before the object is thrown.
The GameObject that the Throwable Item attaches to is not the actual object that is thrown – the Thrown Object field specifies the object that should actually be thrown instead. The Throwable Item also allows the character to show a trajectory of the path that the object will follow when it is thrown. The First/Third Person Throwable Weapon Properties component will also be attached to the item and this component contains the properties that are specific for that perspective.
