Basic Melee Combat
Enables the ability to make melee attacks with spears.
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.
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.
