Details

The results of throwing a food item at a target go through the combat system. The throw can be evaded or blocked, and if it does hit will hit a specific body part. Probably uses Light Thrown skill on the attacker's side.

If the object does hit, there is various messaging about splattering, splashing, thumping, etc. There will then be a bit of atmo messaging about things dripping or sliding down the target for a short while, ending with a message about cleaning themselves off. Messaging varies between food and drinks, and may be impacted by the noun for specific foods.

Note: This will only work with items that are specifically categorized as foods/drinks, and does not work with those that use the substance system, such as foraged items.
