Weapon melee spawn

Template:L4d2 point Is is a spawn point for any melee weapon.

Keyvalues

Melee Weapon ([todo internal name (i)]) <string>

Options: 'Any' or a comma-delimited string of melee weapon script names. Leave blank for none.

The names of the spawnable melee weapons have to be included in the text field. Names are:

• Any – director will place any melee weapon listed in the Missionfile's "meleeweapons" string.
• baseball_bat
• cricket_bat
• crowbar
• electric_guitar
• fireaxe
• frying_pan
• golfclub
• katana
• knife
• machete
• pitchfork
• shovel
• tonfa

You may also list multiple specific melee weapons separated by a comma, and the director will select from among that subset of weapons:

crowbar,fireaxe,machete

You may even have additional custom melee weapons by crating a working weapon model and then creating a melee weapon script in "scripts/melee". Copy an existing one as a base and modify it to make it easier for you.
The name of that script, without extention, is the name to use in the missionfile to allow it at all, and the weapon_melee_spawn entity.

Keyvalues

Count (count) <integer>

Max number of weapons given before disappearing.

Weapon Skin (weaponskin) <integer>

Some weapons have multiple versions of their textures, called skins. Set this to a number other than -1 to make the given weapon use that skin instead of the default.

Set a custom glow range for this spawner. 0 means use the default range.
