I'm working on a 3D FPS, just to clarify

I may just be blind as heck, but I cannot for the life of me find a tutorial or example of how I would go about adding in melee combat to my game. I'm not concerned with the animations and models at the moment (as it does me no good if it doesn't work in the first place), I'm just trying to add in a system of "Click - Swing Weapon, deal damage within x feet in front of the crosshair"

Can anyone demonstrate or help me with a link?

You would need to do something like this:



That's not actually code I just came up with that but that's how I would probably do it... I'm pretty much still a newb. Since no one else was posting though

Bad idea, Bowser! ^_^
You can't compare the X difference and the Y difference seperately, or you could hurt enemies halfway across the map who just happen to be within 5 units of you on one axis.

Also, with your code, you'd kill all enemies behind you!

Could I have you elaborate? I'm thankful for the code example, but could I get a little more direction with the specifics?

Is there anyone who might be able to explain this in a little more detail? I haven't been able to find anything helpful pertaining to melee combat, at least for a FPS in DB Pro : /

Look at Dream and Death's code.

It takes the distance from your player to your enemy. If there is a mouse click in there, it checks the distance and if its less than the specified value, then it hurts the enemy. You would just have to write a function Damage_enemy() on however you want to do that. Play around with what they gave you.

Dream and Death...? I tried a forum search, but I'm not sure if you meant that as a project, the name of a user(s), or what.

You can always use normal collision too.
More advanced, you could use hit boxes to actually detect where the hit landed...
