To get a better understanding of Melee weapons, I will tell you this. Melee weapons are really guns. Guns withs a short lasting projectile. Making your muzzlepoint higher up on the melee weapon does not make it work better. I prefer keeping it around the middle since that is where the player's body area is.

Um, aren't melee projectiles fired from the eye?

I played around with it and it seemed as if they fired from the muzzle.

Code: (Console) [Select]

swordImage.projectile = gunProjectile;

... makes the bullets come out of your head.

Code: (Weapon_Sword) [Select]

datablock ShapeBaseImageData(swordImage)
{
   ...
   //melee particles shoot from eye node for consistancy
   melee = true;
   ...
};

Melee weapons shoot from the head.


(that in the middle is a bullet leaving the head)


(using an adjusted Radio Wave with a longer particle life)

The muzzlePoint on the weapon is still a preferably good thing to keep.
