Melee weapon range

Post by Veleran » Tue Aug 10, 2010 2:03 am

i am not sure how melee weapons work,
Does the length of the sword play a role,ans does the player bounding box extend forward according the lenght of the weapon when you attack?
That would be visible with debug/ player bounding box.
Does anyone know?If a long sword has the same range with a short sword,then i can use only a different weapon damage.

No range change,and very short melee range,too bad.Tall monsters can hit you with ease before you can reach them.
Can you attach/detach a pawn as a weapon to the player to do damage using command damageatbone,and
trigger this with logic gate type-use item using attach and detach commands?
I wonder if the pawn would rotate with the player and his arm.
Attachaccessory command is only for attachments on pawns only?

I think i could make slashing animations for the shoot1 and Shoot2 player motions and then define the sword,axe,mace,and Halberd as projectile weapons with a high firerate,like 0.05.

The halberd bone will be far from the rest skeleton and if the projectile is fired rapidly from there,it will seem like a glowing slashing effect.Nice idea.

yes,but you cant make it hit farther that it is set.Shortsword or two handed sword have the same reach now.
