I've been using the weap_bryar_m cog from MotS as the basis for a vibroblade that I'm alternating on button 5 with the bowcaster. I've just about got it finished. I've modified it to punch like Kyle does in the game with the right fist only (I'm going to attach a blade to the back of his fist). The only problem with it is this: the cog uses the correct keys and animations in the 1st person view, but will not use these animations in the external view. He looks just like he's shooting the pistol.

If anyone out there can help me remedy this problem, I would be most grateful. I tried to use the weap_fists_m cog as a base, but it causes MAJOR errors in performance, so I ditched in favor of the weap_bryar_m cog.

Here's a copy of the cog:

# Jedi Knight Missions Cog Script
#
# WEAP_BRYAR_M.COG
#
# WEAPON 2 Script - Bryar Pistol
#
# The trusty weapon of Kyle Katarn. This is actually an older modified rifle
# that has been cut down to more of a pistol size. It is very accurate but
# somewhat of a low power weapon. This weapon has only one type of fire.
#
# - Affected by MagSealed sectors/surfaces.

------------------
I just love that part of the Jedi Code that says, "There is no ignorance - only knowledge". If that's the case, then what am I doing on this Force-blasted message board??!!

You're probably using jkPlayPOVKey() instead of jkPlayKey().
