Hi,
Is there any way to import a sword weapon and be able to use it as a melee wepon? I want to be able to swing it and it do damage on contact. Here is my model...

Thanks in advance.

Yes there is a way. It requires coding and animating it. There must be some threads about this on this forum.

ill check. and thanks.

in general discussion, I think, I had a conversation with 2 others. In which we were sure that attaching bones or making a moveable bone in the shape of the weapon could be a good idea.
Though a real tutorial is not out.
I would recommend to look trough the impacthammer.
Just for the beginning.
Because if you hit, you want to penetrate a certain point and nothing before or after.(that was my idea about combat and why a impacthammer system is for the beginning okay)

Yes, there is a very simple way that I am using in my game. Think of it as a simple gun with a very short firing range.

What I'd do, I'd use the shockrifle as a basis for it. Copy and strip the class it of unnecessary code, then have one swing as a weaponfire animation and another as weaponaltfire animation.
