Potential Murray Slam/Throw Hardcoded Theory: |
Potential Murray Slam/Throw Hardcoded Theory: |

The damage types for Murray slamming and throwing guards is hardcoded in both Sly 2 and Sly 3, just like Sly 3's death barriers. Code controls the damage and its type, rather than it being stored in an entity struct. |
The damage types for Murray slamming and throwing guards is hardcoded in both Sly 2 and Sly 3, just like Sly 3's death barriers. Code controls the damage and its type, rather than it being stored in an entity struct. Diablo Fire Slam, the gadget that makes Murray slam a held guard into flames, is a duplicate of the ability, but isn't hardcoded, and stores its damage type and amount in an entity struct. |

While not a theory that attempts to give a precise reason what about slamming and throwing requires hardcoding, it is important to note that many damage type values changed a lot over the course of both Sly 2's and Sly 3's development, yet the damage type values for Murray slamming and throwing guards never changed at any point. From Sly 2 July to Sly 3 retail, they've always been the same. |
