Melee Weapon (melee_weapon) <string>

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 mission file'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.

Tip:You may even have additional custom melee weapons by creating 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 extension, is the name to use in the mission file (to allow it at all) and the weapon_melee_spawn entity.
