Dual Phase Lightsaber [Solved]

Hi everyone.

I'm trying to do a dual phase lightsaber (for the uninitiated, THIS... tl;dr: lightsaber that can switch between blades of two lengths).
However, the unit can't switch between his two primary weapons (which are supposed to be the two lengths/colours of the blade). Is there any way around this? It was suggested in THIS thread that it can be done fairly simply (though with no detail regarding how).

Here is the unit odf:

JetJump             = "10.0"    //The initial jump-push given when enabling the jet

JetPush             = "0.0"     //The constant push given while the jet is enabled (20 is gravity)

JetAcceleration     = "10.0"    // for characters with jet jump, use this acceleration for in air control

JetEffect           = ""

JetFuelRechargeRate = "0.0" //Additional fuel per second (fuel is 0 to 1)

JetFuelCost         = "0.0" //Cost per second when hovering (only used for jet-hovers)(fuel is 0 to 1)

The two lightsaber odfs:

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]

[WeaponClass]

ClassLabel      = "melee"

ClassParent     = "com_weap_inf_lightsaber"

[Properties]

GeometryName        = "rep_weap_inf_lightsabre"

ComboAnimationBank  = "human_sabre melee new_hero_horn1"

FirePointName       = "hp_fire"

LightSaberLength    = "0.85"

LightSaberWidth     = "0.1"

LightSaberTexture   = "silverlightsabre"

LightSaberTrailColor = "160 160 180 128"

[/code]

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]

[WeaponClass]

ClassLabel      = "melee"

ClassParent     = "com_weap_inf_lightsaber"

[Properties]

GeometryName        = "rep_weap_inf_lightsabre"

ComboAnimationBank  = "human_sabre melee new_hero_horn2"

FirePointName       = "hp_fire"

LightSaberLength    = "1.25"

LightSaberWidth     = "0.06"

LightSaberTexture   = "violetlightsabre"

LightSaberTrailColor = "220 45 255 128"

[/code]

The combo files are just the stock Obi-Wan files. I tried making them separate to see if the problem was caused by having two weapons on the same unit share a single combo.
By the way I've had no trouble using his secondaries, and I can switch between them just fine. I read HERE that I can have either two melee weapons and no secondaries, or one melee weapon and secondaries, so I've disabled them.

Any idea what my issue is here?

Remember that weapon switching is disabled if the first weapon slot is a melee weapon. Give that guy a pistol or stuffs as main and it should work.
