Description
Better Melee weapons script.
Tired of missing with the Tonfa / Nightstick?
Got let down by the Katana?
Pitchfork too much of a hassle?
Got outplayed by the Source Engine?
Then this mod is for you! After 8 months in development 5 months of slacking off, 3 months of actual work, hopefully it was worth the wait.

This script is intended for players who want more powerful Melees that have longer ranges, more hitrays, and deal almost no friendly fire damage on Expert. I gave them some large buffs without making them extremely overpowered.
Fair warning, server tick rate and lag WILL decrease the amount of hitrays melees create, only by a couple though. Nothing I can do about that.


Stat changes (Simple)
*Longer melee range for all melees
*No diagonal or vertical attacks
*More hitrays on all melees
*Friendly fire damage reduced to 1 (most noticeable on Expert)
*Pitchfork and Shovel are now blunt and sharp
*Length of melee determines amount of hitrays


Stat changes (Advanced)
+Increased melee range (70 > 95)
+Replaced all diagonal and vertical swings with horizontal ones
+Increased number of hitrays for all melees
+Decreased friendly fire melee damage of all weapons (50 - 80 > 10)
+Added blunt and sharp attributes to the Pitchfork and the Shovel, respectively
+All melees are now classified by length and have hitrays / start and end times equal to it:
*Very Short (19 hitrays, 0 > 0.26): Knife, Frying Pan
*Short (22 hitrays, 0.04 > 0.3): Crowbar, Machete, Tonfa / Nightstick
*Medium (25 hitrays, 0.08 > 0.38): Baseball Bat, Cricket Bat, Guitar
*Long (28 hitrays, 0.12 > 0.45): Golf Club, Fireaxe, Katana
*Very Long (31 hitrays, 0.16 > 0.52): Pitchfork, Shovel


Stat changes (Full)
*Too lengthy to put in text, consult the tables at the end of the showcase instead

@SP-Calamitas

I don't think the mod has anything to do with that...

@Striker

Maybe they're using scripts as part of the melee?

Normally custom models and scripts never interfere with each other...

idk why but your mod is conflicting with this mod here https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3499772814&searchtext=yamato
