Melee Combat

[ldsp0000]

Hey,

 

I've had the idea and really wanted to create this in order to have some more fun in Oblivion. The general idea is simple, make the random sword/blunt/object swinging to something more structured. For example, if you stand still and attack you'll do a vertical attack, while if you attack when moving to the right you'll do a slash to the right. Obviously, walking back+right will do a diagonal attack, i think you get the idea.

 

To my great joy the Construction Set seems to be focused on.. something completely different then game programming. Sad, because i really don't got a clue where to even start looking - opposed to a SDK to have fun with. So, i would like to request some help where to start looking for:

 

- Decisions on melee animation to use.

- Checking movement controls.

- Checking blocking states.

- Applying damage.

- Decisions on stagger.

- Fatigue regeneration.

 

Thanks in advance :o
