Shovel will not swing after first use when in 'raised' position.
New, WishlistPublic

Description

When using the shovel in first person in 'raised' position, the shovel will only attack once, the only way to fix this is to either change the shovel's position (space), or sprint at your target and attack while sprinting.

Steps To Reproduce

When using a shovel, standing, press space so the shovel is in an upright position (you cannot see the actual spade above your fov), you will only be able to swing ONCE, but subsequent attempts to attack will not work.

I've tried on multiple servers, same issue. I haven't tried in third person/ crouching/ prone/ eating/ dying/ singing/ crying etc

Additional Information

Quick fix = make sure the shovel is in a 'down' position BEFORE engaging a player/zombie.

I personally think MELEE weapons should have two positions:

  • the current 'not raised' position should be the raised position (threatening),
  • the 'upright' position should be removed and replaced with the weapon being held perpendicular to your body by your waist (non threatening)
