Damage Melee

How would I set up damage melee in Unsafe sims, like a sword that does damage to another avatar?

you would use an attachment on the avatar to be damaged and use the script to manually assess damage. This actually gives you much more flexibility than the bulit-in damage system, you can even add health back. This can be displayed in various ways. The most common is using hovertext, I've also used a damage bar that changes color and size as damage increases.

I honestly believe this method should be the norma nd damage area should be abandoned only until LL can hash out the problems with griefing and abuse of the system. I think a great solution would be to have custom UI bars at the top of the page that can be used by land owners to display many types of info to it's visitors =). Tihs way your system can display damage on the bar, almost like the built-in system, except it would opt-in and customizable and I wouldnt' lose customers who have to fly through Rausche to get to my casino
