Basic Melee Combat

Description
Enables the ability to make melee attacks with spears.

Sorry everyone! A combination of chronic illness and college classes heating up has left me momentarily unable to provide support for this mod. Any reuploads / fan updates of this mod have my complete blessing.


Features
Press C or "Joystick1Button3" to make a melee attack with a held spear (primary or offhand). Spears will get lodged in targets on successful strikes. Works with most if not all spears including those added by mods.

I do not own a controller, I chose 'Joystick1Button3" as that should be the button next to jump / throw, and from asking more experienced modders it should be present on most controllers. If YOU own a controller and figure out what button Joystick1Button3

Melee strikes can't miss but put yourself at risk of counterattack.

Roadmap
-Fix the left-facing spear strike animation
-Second pass for bugs or bizarre interactions
-Add a remix options menu
-Improve odds for a spear to not be stuck in targets on successful strikes
-Add a slugcat with longer spears and poor throwing ability as an alternate route

Philosophy
I kinda just felt like it, no delusions of game design or balance.

Recommendations
Aim Helper- Affects melee attack aiming as well

Changelog

Improved directional aiming. Vertical aiming works best if back flipping or not moving horizontally.
Fixed a line of cursed code
Reduced likelihood of spears spinning wildly

@mirosbirdbutno thanks for the ideas! Once I get back to patching this mod i'll do my best to expand on it in ways like this!

If u do it next to a wall it creates an invisible climb point like a real spear is stuck in the wall but other than that great mod
mirosbirdbutno Mar 25 @ 7:03am 
though its okay if u dont wana add that due to coding
mirosbirdbutno Mar 25 @ 7:02am 
maybe make it so that if u stab something with melee as arti or spearmaster the spear stays in place
while gourb monk and riv having too flimsy hands to do that so they just toss it or even just well...
(gourmand will get fling to the position when u use melee as gourb not too far but a bit far)

really like the mod!!!!! only thing i wish was there was maybe a remix option so spears don't lodge in creatures when you stab them, and maybe an option to lower stab damage so its not too overpowered

lol how the hell do you enable the mod, its just show 1 and too much of zeros colored red, like i think its a version or something but i can't enable it

@cameron.alfieri thanks for the heads up. I am aware of the issue behind this, basically certain spears are 'cursed' and will not function with the mod. Replacing said spear with another will allow it to function again.

I finish finals on the 23rd, I plan to fix remaining issues and add a rebinding options menu at some point after that.

I make no promises on a fixed-by-date. As mentioned elsewhere on my workshop I have serious chronic health issues. Should I have a symptom flare around the time mentioned above it may delay the patch by a month or two.

good mod but everytime i use the controls for melee it just throws it instead of actually doing a melee attack. i dont know if thats just because the melee is throwing a spear then picking it back up again or smt else

well on computer i can spam jump and use the melee attack when am midair to gain a good boost this makes it easier to escape fast creatures (works on pole jumps too!)
wow i dont need a pounce anymore!
this mod is ABSOLUTE POG!
+ award and favorite :)
