Oops yeah uploaded correct config, removed VPhysics for now because nothing I try makes it optional or work.

You can use signature to change angular velocity (melee spin)

PHP Code:

CBaseEntity::ApplyLocalAngularVelocityImpulse(CBaseEntity *this, const Vector *)
@_ZN11CBaseEntity32ApplyLocalAngularVelocityImpulseERK6Vector 


[AK978]

Need to perform configuration to start?
Weapon does not spin on attack.
Is it possible to strengthen offensive capabilities?
Whether to kill all zombies on the attack line.

Kids this is why you shouldn't drink when you are scripting plugins.

Can I throw the shield? Cuz it's crap in game
(Edit: Throwable shields that decapitate.)

[Ruthless1]

Is there a possibility for the melee to automatically return back to the player after a short time after it had been thrown? Like a boomerang.
