Melee Weapons

[Clay]

Does TA3D support melee weapons? Any information would be good.

Theres a few of us Kingdoms guys who are pondering on bring TAK to TA3D. And if theres no melee, well its just not worth it.

I dont know if TA supports it but you can trick it with invisible lasers i think this is the one you are looking for?

Yeah, why not - invisible laser + melee animation - that`s it

Quite easy to do:

• use the weapon rendertype that match the effect you want (possibly an empty 3D model)
• make it explode at end of range
• make it a short range weapon in order to make it "explode" when fired
• set damage area to something small enough to affect only the target

You may have troubles with the damage area which may include the shooter, if this is problem I'll add a flag to restrict the list of damageable units to the target or to other units (to prevent damaging yourself ).

Selfdamage=BOOL; ?

Yeah, that's the idea
