pyspades now has melee damage using the pickaxe! Video -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUAjSi1u3mE

Someone just mentioned this in #AoS. Sadly I can't try it because I'm not home. :(

Yeah :) If you guys want to try it out, head over to my server ("matpow2s pyspades").

Will this be implemented on the vanilla AoS servers?

Is the melee damage insta-kill (like CoD) or not? (Think CS)

You once again prove your wizardry, mat!

How would this work though? We'd have to download kv6 files for the dagger for it to work.

Wouldn't it be easier if Ben implemented this in the next, next update? (0.56 perhaps?)

When I say "dagger", I mean "pickaxe". I'm not a native, but aren't they pretty much the same?

EDIT: Google said no. I guess I should change 'dagger' to 'pickaxe', heh. ;)

@kaede-chan, I think the dagger is either the pick or the shovel, all you would have to do it code damage taken when the shovel/pick hits you in range, right?

Ah, yeah pickaxes have nothing to do with daggers, lol.

This is quite nice.

pickaxes =/= daggers

Sorry if I didn't get that. :/

I still think hitting people with a huge shovel is better. :P

Shovel is too slow.

True. :/

But remember that F = ma. Shovel has more m than a pickaxe.

BTW, right now the pick does 20 dmg

A little underpowered. Someone could just back away and blow your head off.

Per hit? That's pretty fast. Only around 2 - 3 seconds of continuous picking then.

kinda fun sneaking in to the back, and getting everyone from behind

reminds me of TF2

we were enforcing a no guns rule, for the sake of testing, led to some interesting pick duels

Ah yeah that's true, I hadn't taken into account the speed of the pickaxe.

should be insta kill...and it needs comando pro :D

The pickaxe would probably be used as a last-ditch weapon/ ambushing or sneaking weapon. Not meant for charging headlong into a trench. :/

@Ninja: No. :/
