Coverting a gun to melee weapon with a weapon mod

[AwesomeWalrus8]

I've been trying to create a replica of the katana nambu which can be used as a gun or sword based on whether it has a certain weapon mod installed but I cant get it to work. I think my issue may be to do with the 'animation type' variable which I can't work out a way of changing using a weapon mod.

Has anyone else tried doing soemthing similar with any success and if so how did you do it?

 

edit: added a pic of the katana nambu for anyone who hasn't come across it
