Melee weapon problem [Spanish Community]

Question from Drugaddict, from the Spanish RF community:

Apparently, never mind how you put the firerate, melee attacks will only happen after the melee attack animation ends. This happens in 1st person view, but not in third person view. How come it just ignores the firerate?

Ahem. Sorry for that. I just want to know how much time there is between the animation and the attack. In GuildWars there is also a slight diffirence, as in a lot of other games too. So is it 1 second, 2 seconds,... and is it really irritating when playing the game?

Why make an animation that is longer than the firerate? It would look rather strange. That's why the code first checks if the animation is still playing and if it's not playing anymore it will check the firerate.
3rd person view is treated as an orphan in this respect as the code only checks the firerate but not the state of the animation.

It may seem strange, but it is not. The problem is that the weapon is a melee weapon, but it is not as a sword or a knife. The weapon is a rotating blade which rotates quickly. why its firerate must be very short, to cause damage many times during the animation.

It is simply a matter of realism for this weapon, but finally i configured as a weapon of very short-range projectiles.

Thanks
