Melee/Sword Script.

Basically all I am wanting to know is are you able to create a first person sword/melee script that is basically one click one swing (Like Unreal Tornament), Or direction then click to swing (Like Morrowind) would be good to use as well, I'm not wanting click hold and direction. I am also quite curious as to why there isn't really any about (not that i have found so far) or why it isn't in use.

I would also like some help in creating a sword/melee script that is click to swing as so far I have only seen the comand to hold the LMB and then Direction to swing but have not seen an imput for just clicking to swing or hold direction then click to swing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, flamers will be ignored or if they wish to debate their point then I will be happy to do so via PM. ^_^

There are plenty mouse-click Melee weopons. I've seen them for Spell-fire and Azora, but not DCS2.
Not sure why LMB is so popular, but I think it has more to do with the combat meters being use.
An example mouse-click sword script can be found here:

The prevalence of LMB+Direction is due to that being the Triggers many Combat Systems use.

As for using only LMB it'd be a matter of modifying a LMB+Direction in a relatively simple manner.

if( Held & (CONTROL_LBUTTON|CONTROL_ML_LBUTTON) )
{//A bunch of if( Change & Held & button) go here.//
}

into

if( Change & Held & (CONTROL_LBUTTON|CONTROL_ML_LBUTTON) )
{//Some kind of animation selection goes here.//
}

You can either use a increment or random for your animation selection.

**global variables**
list AttackAnimations = ["atk1","atk2","atk3","atk4"];
integer AttackAnimsCount;
[If using increment]integer LastAnim;
**/global variables**

**defaulttate entry**
AttackAnimsCount = llGetListLength(AttackAnimations);
**/defaulttate entry**

One of two animation selection modes:

**increment**
Animation = llList2String(AttackAnimations, LastAnim);
llStartAnimation(Animation); //Assumes Anim is Non-Looped
++LastAnim;
if( LastAnim == AttackAnimsCount ) { LastAnim = 0; }
**/increment**

or

**random**
integer Roll = llFloor( llFrand(AttackAnimsCount) );
Animation = llList2String(AttackAnimations, Roll);
llStartAnimation(Animation); //Assumes Anim is Non-Looped
**/random**

I'm sorry to say, but this forum is more for requests along the lines of "I tried to do X with this code here, but I need help with that" or "I'm having trouble using function so and so", and less for requests of the kind "I would like a finished script that does X, can someone make it for me?".

You'll have more success by asking in the "Help Wanted" forum on this board for someone to do it for you as commission.

Thank you to everyone for their replies.

Sorry if it did not sound clear enough but I was not requesting for someone to do it as commision I was just wondering if it was possible to be done. ^_^

And the short answer is yes, of course

This makes me wonder if that kind of control system would work nicely for a gamepad in SL? I've tried using a gamepad controller for some of the in-world melee combat systems, and it's okay I guess, but just didn't feel right.

I'm gonna have to experiment with this

Oh. Well in that case I agree with Takuan, the answer is definitely yes. *smiles*

Faust pretty much outlined the how already, nothing one needs to add to his explanation.

can some one help me with this script i'm trying to use it but im getting syntax errors

Holy necro post batman!

What exactly are you having trouble with? The example isn't a full implementation so it's not going to work out of the box.

never mind i figured it out
