Celestial Melee: Lightning Sparks (Vscript)

If you ever used "Celestial Melee Weapons", you'll be familiar with this. Yes, this is the standalone version of one of the melee superpowers, "Lightning Sparks".


There are 2 cfg files available:
1. "celestial melee - lightning sparks.txt": This is the main cfg file that controls the features. List of the features:
1. celestial_melee_user: Who can use this melee
superpower (bots only/ players only/ all).
2. celestial_melee_damage: How much the damage is
per lightning spark hit. Min= 1, max= no limit.
3. celestial_melee_swing_count: How many melee swings
until "Lightning Sparks Power" is obtained.
4. celestial_melee_gore_mode: When enabled, common
infected killed with "Lightning Sparks" will have parts of
their body destroyed/ gibbed.
5. burning_lightning: When enabled, the lightning sparks
will burn zombies when hit.

2. "registered melee.txt": This cfg file is to register the melee model names. The content inside will look like this:
tonfa.mdl = 1
models/weapons/melee/v_fireaxe.mdl = 1
frying_pan.mdl = 1



Instructions & mechanisms of "Celestial Melee: Lightning Sparks":
- When playing for the first time with this mod, "celestial melee - lightning sparks.txt" cfg file will be generated.

- For "registered melee.txt" cfg file, this will be generated only when a survivor uses melee for the first time. The best map to generate this cfg file is map 1 of "Dead Center" or "Hard Rain", as you'll get melee immediately after spawning.

- A special chat command to detect weapon model you're holding: "check weapon model"

- The "Lightning Sparks" superpower has the same settings as "Underbarrel Shotgun Series", so most mechanisms are the same too. You can check "Rifle with Underbarrel Shotgun" for the detailed mechanisms.

- Only melee registered on "registered melee.txt" can use "Lightning Sparks" superpower. The formats can be in a long model name (like the example above about fireaxe on "registered melee.txt"), or simply just the file name with ".mdl" (like the "tonfa.mdl" & "frying_pan.mdl" on the examples above). For example, let's say that you have a spear custom weapon from a custom campaign & you want to add this superpower to the spear. You only need to type "check weapon model" to check the spear model name in game, & then register it on the "registered melee.txt" with the correct formats (the "= 1" must not be missing) like the examples above. After registering it, you can start to use the superpower.

- When you have "Lightning Sparks Power" stored, hold E (Use) & then attack with melee to unleash the lightning attack.

- Normal melee attacks can still be used as long as you're not holding E button.

- For bots, they can always use the superpower in 100% chance without consuming "Lightning Sparks Power".

- Riot zombie can be killed with this, as this bypasses armor.



- So with this, you can register any melee with this superpower as you like.

NOTES:
- This mod can be used together with "Baseball Martial Arts" & "Knife Throwing Arts", but you can't register baseball bat & knife on "registered melee.txt" because those mods also use E button to trigger the superpower so that may cause a bug, like both abilities will be triggered at the same time.
- If you want to see some animated previews about how it looks like, check the workshop link below "Download". Gamemaps can't use animated previews, so unfortunately I couldn't put those previews here. & I'm still too lazy to add some static image previews.
