True Melee Collision

[brian4]

I finally got true melee collision working. When you swing a melee weapon, it hits every enemy your world model comes into contact with during the attack animation.

Note that all the content on the video is placeholder or wip, except the rusty short sword. Also note that we haven't worked out a speed algorithm, lol.

Ah, ye bastard. Whenever Squirrel and I got to making AE I always planned on having weapons and all other physics work like that. Ah, well. Good on ye.

Holy shit, awesome O___O

Awesome video. You guys are doing a great job with it.

 

[Red Cell]

Looks great.

One a side note, brian4, did that mapper guy ever contact you? He said he sent you some of his past projects via the e-mail you give me, which inturn I gave to him.

 

[brian4]

Yeah, thanks for that. I have him, a new modeler, and a new (insanely awesome) coder working on pvp capture the flag. I figure the ammount of content we'll have for the initial public release won't be enough to keep people entertained until the next update, so the main motivation for a player level after he/she can dominate every monster will be bragging rights in the arena ;-).

PS. Likely going to post a video of movement based attacks today (ie. left strafe + attack = left slash).

I'd really like to see a Foutpost-style pvp map if you're going for more PVP stuff (fort with breakable walls and a VIP, preferably a human player in this case) with an outpost for each team, of course.

That actually sounds like an awesome map idea for PVP Dej
