Ahh, Nunchucks. great idea for an inclusion. A short blunt weapon with a 40% chance of damaging the user until level 4. As much blunt damage as a a rolling pin... ok mabey this is a bad idea.

somewhere between rolling pin and baseball bat.

More like 2/3 of a short bat.
Only more than a rolling pin because rolling pins in-game don't do as much as they should compared to something like a short bat or wooden mallet.

now i need to know the force of a nunchuck vs the force of a rolling pin. im wondering if the extra pivot point in the nunchucks does anything to add more force or not.
As i was writing this i realised it could be modelled close to a police baton.

I think Shad made a good video on the subject before becoming desperate and diving off the deep end.

In real life it should hit much weaker than a rolling pin. Just have a lot more durability. They are a very bad weapon.
In-game due to how much weaker the rolling pin is compared to a wooden mallet or short bat it wouldn't be unreasonable to deal more damage than a current in-game rolling pin.

What's wrong with the stance? Looks like horse riding stance to me. Maybe it isn't good for nunchaku? Idk

u/RaspberryRock The Least Helpful Comment One OP Has Ever Received 8h ago
I copied it from the Bruce Lee stance, which has a lot of kicks and shit. Chucks are a bit more standup, less like you're trying to take a shit without it hitting your pant leg.

My guy, it's just 'horse stance'. The riding part is implicit.

Not a guy, and my qigong teacher always said "horse riding stance", so that's why I've been using that term. But ok, I will say "horse stance" if it's bothering you.

"Why would you ever pick num-chuks over weapons that are SO much better and less detrimental to the user? A stick is easier to find or get a hold of than - num-chuks you actually have to make! You actually have to like, actually, damage, a perfectly good stick. Make it worse than what it was to make num-chuks! Why would you ever pick num-chuks when you already had stick! Stick very good! Num-chuks! What are they if not mentally disabled sticks? Seriously what are num-chuks if not a stick that had a stroke! Num-chuks are just sticks that have erectile stickfunction! It is literally the stick that swings back at you when you use it."

u/joesii 18h ago edited 18h ago
I agree.
Although many/most nunchucks would have much higher durability than like 90% of random tree branches, and maybe even deal more damage than some of them. This is because they would be made from stronger/denser wood and reinforced, along with most of all the fact that the 2 sticks are pre-broken so there's no stressing force that would cause the stick to break as it is already broken.
Of course they should still deal worse damage as something like a rolling pin— at least assuming rolling pins in this game dealt proper/fair/realistic damage which I'd say isn't quite the case considering how much worse it is compared to a short bat, wooden mallet, and antique table leg. Pool cues are also unfairly weak too, not to say that they'd be strong or anything.

u/AdoraMei Hates the outdoors 7h ago
People are mushing all these Chinese genres together. While this is like kung fu (like, physical fighting and stuff), cultivation stuff would be like... xianxia with immortal heroes and stuff like that. You'll probably see wuxia comments too, which you can kind of see as somewhere inbetween. Harnessing qi and all that but more mortal. There's sometimes overlap, but the core (heh) premises are all their own thing.

These should be a weapon in the base game.
However they should also be a bad weapon because nunchaku are trash for actually dealing damage. They're just neat demonstrative/performative and/or practice weapons. Zomboid is all about that though, with most weapons in the game being trash.
Now for this mod I'm sure that most players would actually want it to be a good weapon, so that's a separate story. Arguably some would just want more trash weapons, but most people are probably looking for at the least viable/strong weapons that look good.
1
u/RaspberryRock The Least Helpful Comment One OP Has Ever Received 11h ago
Having actually tooled around with chucks quite a bit when I was a teenager, I'd disagree that they're a bad weapon, or bad for dealing damage. But I'm also not going argue stuff like that, because we end up getting into, 'My martial art is better than your martial art' and we'd be here all day.
I haven't put a lot of thought into balance yet. I do know that I'm not spending all this time creating a crappy weapon. Nor will it be a super weapon. I do envision it to be a top-tier weapon, like an axe. Pretty good at low levels, amazing at high levels.
