Melee example?

[kiwi666]

can anyone point me to a good melee weapon example. i am working on my fist project, a crash/spyro style 3d platform type game and want to make attacks using a invisible melee weapon. actually if anyone knows a better way to do this that would help too, but i really wanna find a good melee example weapon ini.

this one was posted by lykyn in the spanish forum:
jus modify the damage, the model, and the sounds, to make it look as u want

Code: Select all

I hope it helps you

thanks, this should help. i found a sword script too. the manual has little on melee, mostly projectile and 3d shooter oriented. I wanna eventually try to make a good FPS too, especially since RF seems to have multiplayer support. A 3d platform seemed like a simpler way too go, and i think it will be fun to do.

You didint told me about this, -name of my game!- XDDDD

[Voltare]

rf has mp support....just doesn't work all that great....


speaking of multiplayer/network code.........hey greywolf, qod...pnj, jay.....any clue why new code was written when there's already apparently useful mp code already in genesis3d?I know Rf comes from a reworking of ProjectX and Project Z, with a good bit of Rabid Framework tossed in there.But, some stuff seems to be either commented out, or gotten rid of compared to original g3d code.


Any clues here? And is there a way we can see if these code bits might work better or different in a good way than current Rf-specific code snippets?


And to you Espanol guys .....welcome aboard! Your models I found over 2 years ago, heh.

im sorry i didnt have time to tell you, but if you posted this in public, i thought it was for helping anyone who needs it.
PS: Also, notice that i said YOU made it

[Lynkyn]

XDDDDDDDDD I was joking

So, Druggadict (Zidane) was who teach me how to make this
