He's a very, very slow fellow

On a related note, only the uppercut animation works anymore, I can't produce any of the animations now matter how many times I try, flaming fists doesn't appear either sometimes

I replaced the kart dash condition with a grapple hook condition (I think it was the landing one) (thanks to FlaminSarge for telling me about it). It plays a punch very similar to lunge's custom animation, except this one still works and is more consistent.

The only thing left is to fix the slam animation, I dunno if Sarysa ever looked into that or if anyone else has any ideas for fixing it.

Some peeps I know made a boss using slam but they can't figure out how to get party trick to work... and then I have no idea if they tried my other suggestions (make the boss base class a pyro, keep it soldier but set the taunt to something else like laugh taunt, etc).

Custom taunt animations on models still seem to work, as I used laugh taunt for another boss with a custom animated attack, so that might be worth looking in to since it's all class. Party trick might not work on soldier anymore since it's originally a pyro thing anyway.

PHP Code:

    //TF2_AddCondition(clientIdx, TFCond_HalloweenKartDash, 1.2); // This condition is what the Lunge animation comes from.
    TF2_AddCondition(clientIdx, TFCond:100, 0.7); // This animation is already part of the game

After some testing it seems like taunt_laugh mapped to slam doesn't work in midair, but it works when someone uses laugh taunt on the ground.

No reason to update model.

Edit:

sm_cvar tf_allow_sliding_taunt 1

It works now, however your controls will be stuck until the taunt actually ends, so I had to add TF2_RemoveCondition(clientIdx, TFCond_Taunting) in SS_EndSlam() (wherever the code ends the slam).

But sliding taunt is required.

Looks like this way we can no longer activate slam and then lunge afterwards, oh well.

You also can't move slightly while in mid-air.

I did this for a different purpose, but I thought I'd give out what I did to give him back the slam animation.

EDIT: shit. did not see last online 2018. well that sucks lol, here's the og message below if anyone reading knows a solution
EDIT 2: dane told me slam has been broken for years. lol ill just remove him from armstrong then

Sorry for the necro post, but do you still have the files for Saxton? I'm trying to fix JuegosPablo's Senator Armstrong for my server, everything works aside from his Slam ability, which gives him an error model.

		"plugin_name"	"improved_saxton"
	}

Upon inspection, the download for Armstrong doesn't include the .mdl file required, and the taunt index is blank.
To find the taunt index I guess I'll just decompile the model to find what taunt he's supposed to use for his slam, and just find the index for that taunt

just arg 4 and arg 6 fucks model, so just remove this args from cfg.
