How can I make a creature attack that slices like a sword?
« on: February 08, 2013, 02:26:33 pm »

I can't find a way to alter the attack contact percentage or attack penetration percentage to cut through flesh like a sword. Any and all assistance is appreciated

I recently asked a question like this and the first response should do it:

Here is another similar answer that describes what you need to edit to make a body part weapons grade.

The solution I gave HavingPhun is cosmetic - no stronger than scratching with nails, but uses the lower arm body part and converts the attack into an edged slashing attack using the body's own statistics. If you are using stock body parts (he was using a buffed up creature that should make the simple cosmetic change highly effective), the attack in the first reply will not be as effective as a sword.

Thank both of you, now I can make Senji from Deadman Wonderland as a playable character.

Also, as you both seem very knowledgeable, do you know a way that I can make a material emission which will shoot blood at an opponent like a bullet? I've tried both liquid and solid glob but they don't really hurt the enemies. Would I need to use a different material? Again, any help would be appreciated
