I have constructed a script that allows any character rigged with the default FPSC skeleton to "punch" the player. It works wonderfully. Video attached 4mb.

I am also working on a script that allows the character to hold a melee weapon and attack the player correctly, though as of now, it does not work.

VIDEO

EDIT: I stand corrected, some melee weapons work correctly, although EAI's pipe wrench is the only one that seemed to work.
EDIT2: For melee weapons to work, the weapontype field in the gunspec.txt of the weapon must be at 0.

I just tested it. It's good! But you just used the grenade animation. But it is still good!

Which other weapons have you tried and what didn't work? All of my melee weapons have generally the same model positioning but working/not working may be dependent on the weapontype setting in gunspec which dictates animation poses to some degree.

I'm DLing the vid now...

Anyways, this sounds great. I've been hoping someone could come up with a generic weapon holding melee which uses that throw animation.

Gotcha EAI!!!

The weapon type must be 0 for a melee weapon to work. Beast, thanks for the info EAI, never saw that in the gunspec file...

EDIT: What effect will changing the weapontype have on the weapon.

Another video showing that fights with several characters does not cause any lag because of the simplicity of the script.

AFIK, the weapontype only dictates which weapon holding poses/animations are used by NPCs.

0 = grenade

The other anim sets are for pistol, shouldered rifle, shooting from the hip, over-the-shoulder launchers and another for the minigun pose.

I'll be sure to set all melee weapons to weapontype zero from this point on. Will the script in the #2 post work with weapons? Once, I've tested, I'd like to link to this post if that's cool with you.

Yes, you may link the post and yes, the script will work woth weapons.

If you look closely at the second video, a thug is holding a combat knife.

Thanks for the education EAI!

TGC already did this... Just download one of the free melee characters, they use the stock throw animation.

The TGC store models use the default script, which does not work for default characters. This script works for any character.

Do any of you think it may be possible to integrate this into multiplayer? IE Katana, Wrench or something of the sort as a weapon in arena games... I'll give it a few tests myself, but I want to know what you guys think...

I know the dumb zombie script that lies around here somewhere also uses the throw animation, as I used it for some of the standard characters successfully. You can even improve the look of it if you shorten the range of the throw animation in the characters FPE (backup prior to this!!!) so the "ring pull" isn't played and he beats you instantly!

I am Jacks complete lack of surprise.

I think the ring pull is more real. Like the charging-back of a fist before pounding it on one's nose

Your idea also seems pretty plausible Daarboven...I may experiment with it
