Hello,

I was reading MetalcoreRancor's creation guide and am not sure if what I want to do is covered in it (I don't think so). What I want to do is create a back handed character (like starkiller from tfu). It was done with some random jedi in Theitfactor's PWNfest, race mode, so I know it can be done. The way he did it (which I'm perfectly happy with if I could do that) was by taking darth maul's animations and using a one handed lightsaber turned backwards, only the left hand did not move. So, my questions are this:

1) How do I turn the lightsaber backwards?
2)How do I keep the left hand on the side without creating a completely new animation?

and 3) If he used it in a different map and the assets are released, could someone point me to them (but I'd still like to know how to do it myself)

Also, thItfactor's character's lightsaber was actually floating next to his hand, could I make that better?

Thanks!

You're correct, I only covered combos in my guide.

What your asking is beyond my help too. Not sure how to make the hand stay put.. but yes to make a backwards saber the best method is to either get your hands on a modified msh with the correct firepoints reversed, or the easiest way is to simply edit the odf coding of the saber to make the length a negative number, like -1.5

Thanks MetalcoreRancor, now all I need is how to make one hand stay on the ground. I will look back to the level I remember it being on and make sure that theItfactor actually did so.

now for the left hand not holding... someone?...

what do you mean exactly?
do you want to use the twosaberanim with one not moving hand?

He only wants one hand to hold the lightsaber. It would look a little funny if you had both hands on a backhand saber =D

i you suppose you use maces anim?

Yeah, he's probably using Mace because I think it's the default jedi anim for the reps. Try using Obi-Wan's they should look better

a mix between lukes/obis and mauls would be the best (or custom anims)

Hey guys I just looked at the level again and saw that using the maul anims it looks just fine and that's what theItfactor used. This topic is basically solved unless anyone has or knows of any custom anims for this case.

i made a not half-bad backhandsaber jumpattack and a good looking idle (i wont release the idle before i released starkiller though)
