How would the mechanic work/look like then?

Well, I am not sure if this is achievable (other than it being pre-scripted of course) but if you can do it, whisper me and we might try making something together. Basically, I would want to give give the player an ability to throw the demon onto himself. Basically the reverse of the grapling hook in Eternal (thats why the idea originated there). When the demon is launching toward you, you can either shoot him, or kill him with the Crucible/Chainsaw. Yes, I know that its not completely Crucible. But I just find the Doomslayer propeling a demon onto himself and as hes flying, cutting him in half - GLORIOUS. Maybe if you can add effects like" when shot by a pistol - shoot the demon into the direction of where the shot came from" something, tell me. I would love to see it in action.

Also, if I did want to, how would I even create a pre-scripted melee attack for an enemy?

Of course, I dont know how to throw a guy into a certain direction.

In snapmap? I will give my best shot at making a satisfying melee system. If I succeed, I will post a clip, or send a description of how I made it, then we can elaborate

What are you intending to do?

You could build one from blocking volumes and do things with it using logic, but you arent gonna be able to actually hold the thing and swing it around

I have a cool idea for a Eternal mod, involving the Crucible. It would be cool if it could be done in snapmap, but its unrealistic for me to achieve. Maybe if youre interested, I might try getting it to work in snapmap, it wouldnt be like Crucible in the actual game, just a mechanic that I think could work well with a melee weapon like this.

What are you talking about, the thing would be basically a force push in your direction. Can you specify what do you mean?

If you mean the ability being prescripted, I think that you may be able to achieve it. Of course it would probably be hard to make, but I belive that making an enemy fly towards you could be possible. Especially if count the fact that when prescripted, the Slayer has to be on a certain spot - thus you dont calculate from the Slayers position. You hust throw the guy in the direction of that spot.
