Enable Claws costume options for Savage Melee

[temnix]

Given that the most agressive kind of hands characters can have are mildly pointed fingers from Monstrous gloves, it would be good if they could rend and slash with, let's say, a pair of Rularuu's Talons.

In general I'd love to see the claws models made available, but the problem is they aren't hand models - they are separate weapon pieces, and savage melee doesn't make any calls to said weapon models.  I think the closest they could do is to either use an existing costume slot, like shoulders, and put the claws models in there, (though they'd likely have to be out all the time).  Otherwise, they'd have to essentially remake all savage melee powers to make said call to the claws weapon models...

Corsair Hook, Pirate Hook, Organic Armor Thorny, Robotic Claw, Omega.

 

You're welcome.

Not sure if the engine is capable of it but you could try using the same flag combat-only auras do.

The thing is, is the animation that has you drawing/extending the claws separate from the actual displaying of said claws.  The closest I can think of is the cyborg hud aura, which sort of "deploys" when you enter combat.  That being said, AFAIK, no aura involves a further menu to select and color specific models - even wings each have a separate entry...

Advanced Clockwork Blaster gloves.

 

You're welcome.

zombie thin hands too.

 

They're all bloody looking if you set them blend pattern to dark red then do 'slime' aura on hands.  Ultra violence.

Is that a costume option that was added recently, which animates?  I am aware that the Praetorian Clockwork enemies have an attack where a little blaster pops out of their forearm... is that what you're talking about?

I think it's the one with the wind up tab that spins on its own... Or at least that sounds how it'd be named... Saw clockwork gloves doing a persistent animation on someone recently, but haven't found it in the costume designer.

I know they added a clockwork key as a back option, but I don't think that's what @Luminara was referencing...

[honoroit]

Maybe it was on the back... But it was going on its own and I got enthralled, then forgot about it, but now I've something to investigate next time I'm on.

Upper Body -> Gloves -> Advanced Clockwork Blaster

 

The right forearm opens up to reveal two Praetorian Clockwork blasters.
