I'm sure this isn't a high priority thing, but it's awfully annoying to me (and many other modders who have tried melee weapons).

Firstly, the weapon hold style itself has an annoying idle animation- rather than just keeping the character's hands to the side, the idle animation makes you hold your hands in a way that it's as if you're holding a rifle. It shouldn't do that.

Secondly, AI cannot aim with the "---" type of weapon. They always fire downward or even a little bit behind them. This is VERY annoying for anyone who wants to make AI that uses melee.

It'd be VERY appreciated if this could be fixed.

I actually brought this up a long time ago in testing 4.0 and it was deemed unfixable. Been on our "Not Going to be Fixed" list for just as long.

Is this a fill in the blanks?

WEAPON_HOLD_STYLE_NOT_USED is named such and shown to the user as "---" because there is absolutely no code for this style. As such, the fact that it doesn't work shouldn't surprise you. It may have existed and been used at some time however which is why it wasn't just completely removed.

Hm, I see.

Is there any chance, then, to make a completely new weapon holding style that functions in the way that it should? Except with a fixed idle animation, and fixed for the AI?

The AI likely can't aim with "---" because it doesn't have aiming animations. The only weapon styles that have aiming animations are "Shoulder", "Hip", "Launcher", and "Handgun". "C4", "---", "Beacon", "Empty Hands", and "Hands Down" all share the "S_A_HUMAN.H_A_A0_" animation set

Launcher being the one thats really broken, as it enjoys putting you in the T pos whenever your not in a combat stance.

Probably only because the entire S_A_HUMAN.H_A_E* animation set is missing in stock Renegade. Make it exist and stuff will magically start working Wink
