LE Spear Technique/Combat

[Hunterck123]

You know, I see these mods for spears like imperial pike and imperial spear... But they swing like an 2h axe and a sword. Why not make a mod with the art of fighting with spears and throw in a few spears to experience art with? Just an idea, if you're going to make a mod with spears, at least make them handled and able to be swung properly. A few extra killmoves for the spike would be cool too, like a spartan jump and impale or whatever. Just an idea, but it would definately be a mod I would enjoy. Thanks for looking modders, I am not good enough to create a mod, nor have any clue.

Is there any way to use existing animations, perhaps the animation for shoveling ore? Of the top of my head, that's probably the closest vanilla animation in game to thrusting a spear, at least until someone makes a new one. Anyone want to try this out?

Also, one of the left handed attack anim's is a thrust. If you flipped it, it could work for lance/shield combo.

Nah, closest you can get with vanilla animations is to replace the righthandattack_intro and righthandattack with the staff_charge and staff_cast animations, respectively.

 

It looks decent, but your legs dont move while running, you just sort of glide over the ground

Well you see... there's plenty vanilla things to work with, like running forward while swinging is a power swing, like a sword power swing makes your charicter take a few steps with a sword held above his head and then swinging down onto the npc. Is it not possible to tweak that a bit to hold a spear in a "throwing position" above thier head, and just have the spears head come down into the chest or whatever body part is easiest?
