Why are there no custom melee weapons in the mod?

Post by DisConnected »

Imagine, slicing a zombie in half with a katana or impaling a fast zombie to a wall with a throwing spear while it's jumping. Or Sparta kicking a combine off one of those cliffs in the Sandtraps chapter.

I don't think I was the first to come up with this idea, is there some line of code that prevents you from making them? Can't you copy the coding of the crowbar, add custom sounds to it, and make it explode an antlion or slice a zombie in half when you kill them with it?
Oh, don't be such a baby. Episode 3 will come out.

No it won't.

because it isn't done yet in the code, maybe in the next version, maybe not...

It likely will. Seeing as we've already got a custom melee weapon in the works, the only thing we need now to execute it is that very code.

Doesn´t work. You will have the fraking "Custom_nameoftheweapon doesnt have advanced options" error.
