Melee animation

Adds detailed melee combat animations and new melee combat mechanics.

IMPORTANT This mod is an early release. Duels and unique skills do not work at this time. Duels are almost complete and will be added soon. Unique skills will be added later.

The mod aims to revive normal melee combat in Rimworld by adding custom animations for attacks and moves, as well as new melee mechanics such as Duel and Execution. Maud also adds (optional) lasso to attract enemies to the melee zone.

Quick start user's guide.

Fashion installation. Equip your pawn with compatible melee weapons.

Call the pawn. Right-click on a target to open execution, lasso, and duel options.

Your pawns (and enemies!) will automatically execute, beat lasso, or duel at every opportunity.

Lasso can be made in a tailor's workshop. You can change the colonist's use of lasso/execution in the Assignments tab.

All customization is possible in the fashion settings. Check the settings carefully!

What does this mod add and change?

All compatible melee weapons will have attack, performance, and duel animations depending on the weapon type and size.

Standard melee combat will remain the same. New animations will appear when pawns attack, but mechanically nothing will change. However, there are several new (optional) mechanisms

Execution: Despite the name, the animation of the execution is not necessarily lethal. The execution animation is a vivid melee attack animation performed by an attacking pawn on a victim pawn, resulting in either death, fall, or injury to the victim. The result is determined on the basis of the indicator of the fatality of the attacker.

Duel: If two pawns with effective melee weapons are fighting each other, a duel can be held. Duels are user-generated dynamic animated melee battles. The outcome of a duel is determined by the duel ability index of each pawn, and the winner of the duel carries out the execution of the loser. There are also friendly duels between settlers, which serve as recreation and training.

Lasso: You can equip a lasso that quickly draws enemies close to you. Pawns can use lasso and execution together to quickly pull enemies close and execute them instantly! Lasso can also be used to keep companions away from danger.
