Melee Weopons?

[iSuck]

Oh, right, forgot aboot this, but I made a melee wep model a while ago. I called it the "impact hammer" because I liked the UT one. I couldn't figure out how to implement it, and it's not great quality, but it's VERY low poly. This was my first attempt at modeling, texturing, and bumpmapping a model, it would probably look better with more believable texturing.

I wanted to replace the laser with this, but the Nexuiz weapons exporter has filepaths that only work on Windoze.

Some ideas for a melee weapon:
Turn on laser_secondary, make the lifetime .00001 and 0 self damage
Program a "fist" that searches for a hit on a 1 to 2 unit beam at the press of a key, or give all weapons a melee anim.

The front of your ImpactHammer looks quite right, iSuck.
But the back reminds me of a bagpipe A little revamping should do though.

It seems like you are making it as a extension to the hand, was that the idea?

[torus]

If an impact hammer is implemented, that model is NOT the way to go. Sorry :\

[torus]

Well my thoughts are that as fast as the game moves I'm not sure it would be very useful, like in Q3 Arena you have The Gauntlet and I don't see anybody using it really.

Well, it really depends. The usefullness of a melee weapon is of course limited, but there are some situations where it is a good choice. Best example from Q3 .. you hold the rocketlaunche, took Quad and one enemy is next to you. Now its better to use the gauntlet instead blasting yourself. Same with strength in nexuiz.
