How to add a melee attack to your guns.

Pretty much the easiest thing to do, to be honest. All the code is already in the base, but is not enabled by default. Just paste this code into your swep, and follow the settings described below it:

Clean paste:

SWEP.Primary.CanMelee		= true
SWEP.Primary.MeleeKeyInput	= IN_USE
SWEP.Primary.MeleeSwingSound	= Sound( "" )
SWEP.Primary.MeleeHitSoundWorld = Sound( "" )
SWEP.Primary.MeleeHitSoundFlesh = Sound( "" )
SWEP.Primary.MeleeHitSoundEnt 	= Sound( "" )
SWEP.Primary.MeleeImpactDecal 	= ""
SWEP.Primary.MeleeDamage		= 32
SWEP.Primary.MeleeDamageType	= DMG_CLUB
SWEP.Primary.MeleeRange			= 16.5
SWEP.Primary.MeleeForce			= 5
SWEP.Primary.MeleeDelayMiss		= 0.42
SWEP.Primary.MeleeDelayHit 		= 0.54
SWEP.Primary.CanAttackCrouched = false
SWEP.Primary.MeleeHitActivity	= ACT_VM_HITCENTER 
SWEP.Primary.MeleeMissActivity	= ACT_VM_HITCENTER 
SWEP.Primary.MeleeHitDelay		= 0.22
