Melee Concepts
Melee weapons are hand-held weapons that strike opponents directly around you, as opposed to a ranged weapon like a firearm or bow.

Melee Setup

 * 1) Create a melee object, such as a sword approximately 1m long.
 * 2) Drag and Drop the Myriad Lite Melee script for sword fighting from inventory into the object
 * 3) Take the melee weapon into into inventory.
 * 4) Attach it to your right hand
 * 5) Adjust the position and rotation
 * 6) Detach the melee weapon back into inventory again to "save" the new default attach point.
 * 7) Attach or wear the melee weapon when desired.

Quickstart for Players

 * (required) Wear the Myriad Lite HUD.
 * (optional) Wear the hovertext meter
 * (optional) Wear armor, which you should see reported in your chat window.
 * (optional) Wear a holster
 * (optional) Wear a melee or ranged combat weapon

Commands
Myriad Lite accepts a variety of chat commands on channel 5.

/5 will activate that command.

Scripters can also send the same commands as a link message.

Custom HUDs can be constructed with buttons named each command, and the button will activate the command of the same name

Close Combat: Melee Weapons
For melee weapon (knife, sword, club, etc)

Wear the melee weapon, which disables fist fighter mode if active

NOTE: The melee weapon is invisible when first attached, as if it is "sheathed".

Say /5 drawright or /5 drawleft in main chat to draw the weapon.

In mouselook or third person view, press left mouse button to trigger the weapon's attack.
