Myriad Lite Holster

Holster Concepts

A holstered or sheathed weapon is a visual indicator that your character is armed and ready for combat.

The holster works by turning invisible on a "draw" command, and turning visible again when the weapon is holstered or sheathed.

Players can draw weapons from a holster or sheathe to begin combat, or sheathe/holster weapons to withdraw from combat.

Setting Up Myriad Lite Holster

1. Create an object to act as a wearable holster for a firearm or a sheathe for a melee weapon.
2. Drag and Drop the Myriad Lite Holster script from inventory into the holster object
3. Attach the object to the desired attachment point.
4. Adjust the position and rotation.
5. Detach the object back to inventory to "save" the new default attach point.
6. Attach or wear the holster when desired.

Quickstart for Players

• (required) Wear the Myriad Lite HUD.

Commands

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

/5 <command> 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.

Ranged Combat: Firearms

Wear a firearm with a Myriad bullet in it.

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.

Go into mouselook for first person view

Aim.

Press left mouse button to fire.

Ranged combat does not work in third-person view.

/5 checkammo will show ammo count remaining.

/5 reload will reload ammo
