A simple mod that stops AI from cooking grenades for ~0.4 seconds before throwing, ensuring instant throws.

Overview

AI in the game uses QuickGrenadeThrowHandsController, which by default cooks grenades for ~0.4 seconds. This mod removes that for AI.

Observed Cooking Times

When logging grenade creation times from BaseGrenadeHandsController.vmethod_2(), AI cooks for ~0.4s, while players cook for 0s:

How It Works

Resets the cooking timer to 0 before throwing via a PatchPrefix on OnDropGrenadeAction().

Default Behavior

1. In StartCountdown(), the controller initializes a countdown timer from -1 to 0.
2. During each update, the controller accumulates time to the timer.
3. When OnDropGrenadeAction() is called to create and throw the grenade, it uses the accumulated time as the cooking duration.

Mod Behavior

This mod uses a PatchPrefix on QuickGrenadeThrowHandsController.Class1162.OnDropGrenadeAction() to reset the accumulated cooking time to 0 before the grenade is thrown, effectively eliminating the AI’s default 0.4-second cooking delay.
