Name
throw - throw an object to/at a player or NPC
Syntax
throw <object> at <target>
throw <object> to <player>
Description
The throw command has two different uses. The first syntax is used to throw something at someone with the purpose of hurting them. The person you want to attack must be in the same location as you, and if you manage to hit them then they will most likely attack you in return. The second syntax is used to give objects to other players who are not in the same location as you. This is mainly for fun objects like the frisbee.
