Melee Weapon Attacking Problems

[Midway Sentinel]

Ok, i have finally gotten my texture problem worked out, and i am making a... special weapon, in looks and origin, no difference in the script you get from the up-to-date tutorial other than modified explosion radius and particle density. When i attack in 3rd person, the attack animation plays, but in 1st person, it stays static, not moving like the outside one does, anyone know whats wrong?

I think you need to add an animation, but I'm not sure.

Crap, i hope not, idk how

-edit

cant anyone help me with this??? i even looked through youtube and didnt see anything

[GenaralSkar]

I've seen this with many weapons. People don't seem to mind.

I've seen this with many weapons.

is there a way to fix it?

In the weapon Image datablock:

Code: [Select]

   offset = "0 0 0";
   eyeOffset = 0;
make sure those are set to zero.

thanks

new question: how do i make to guy only swing the weapon once? he swings it 3 times or so.

and can anyone tell me whats wrong with my weapon script?
