What about people that are left handed?

Post by Rokran »

I've noticed that when useing a Single Saber, not many people do left swings unless it's part of an imporant combo ( example the side to side combo ).

Why not, to make it a little more real for the rp, have an option in the new mod to reverse the saber animations. What I mean is, when someone does a Heavy left swing, show the animation for the right swing, but on the left side? See what I'm saying? I don't know, just a thought. I just figured it might be a little odd that every Jedi is right handed.

Animations have been discussed before. But they require quite a bit of fiddling to get to work, fiddling I don't think the modder wants to do. Also, new animations I believe would require a client-side patch, which this mod was trying to avoid.

Granted, if it were possible, I would have Alk be a leftie like me.

I can't say much for saber combat. I try to make it look more realistic, but most people rather promote and use the mechanics of the game to win, rather than RPing.

Animations would be very difficult i'd imagine. I need to learn to mod soon. If i want to be a game maker as i do. It'd be a great start.

The reason that the animations are Right handed is because 9 humans out of 10 are righthanded.

It is not something that is actually needed and frankly, even lefthanded persons I know actually use a 'righthanded' stance when fighting.

Also, there is 1 stance that is Lefthanded : Blue stance (held on the left side, left hand is the dominant)

I'm left-handed and whenever I feel the urge to hit someone with a club, sword or a stick I use my left hand. :bash:

When I kick or punch, I use to use the right hand, and I'm left-handed, but anyways, I would like to have this left-handed thingy.

Yeah, I agree, if I had a lightsaber or a sword in my hand it would be in my left hand..not my right. I'd like a mod to switch it to left hand as well..

I like the idea. Adds more depth to RP.

A Jedi does not grasp at power. A Jedi is not a dominator, not an oppressor. To grasp for power is to abandon the ways of the Force.

I don't think I can do that. Most of the animations use the right hand, and as far as I know there is no way to mirror animations (which would take a very long time to do anyway, as there are hundreds of animations).
