# Grenade throw type selection

The logic for selecting the grenade throw type is stored in `\properties\animation_selector\`**`human_grenade_throw_type.inc`**

The grenade throw type is determined before the throw via the `grenade_throw_type` request and does not change until the next throw.

The selection logic uses the following checks:

* `cover_type` — the type of cover from which the throw is made
* `throwing_range` — throwing distance
* `item_in_hand` — check of the item held by the unit

Available grenade throw types in *Men of War II (custom types can be added)*

* `forward` — overarm throw, vertical arm movement
* `side` — sidearm throw, horizontal arm movement
* `force` — forceful throw
* `mega` — maximum force throw

The grenade throw type is not the same as selecting the grenade throw animations.\
The throw type can be checked in Animation Selector files using the `human_throw_type` parameter in an `if`block.
