Melee Attack Collision should include your body

[gell]

Problem: There are a lot of times enemies can stand inside you.

Solution 1: make your melee attack box include the area of your own body, at least from the waist up

Solution 2: Don't allow enemies to stand in the same space as the player (or push them out a little).

There are too many times where the enemy just runs up and stands inside of me, whether Corpus melee guys, or Infested. My Scindo (or other melee like skana) doesn't hit them at all. I have to step out of them first and then attack to hit them. Likewise I think they miss their melee too, as the Corpus (with the purple melee) tend to run up to you and get a little too close, and if I am moving just a little forward, I end up standing in them. Neither of us will hit each other even though we're more than touching.

The attack box for the melee, sensibly, is around the melee weapon only, but because of this magical ability to stand inside others, either that issue needs to be fixed, or change melee attack boxes to extend from the inside of the player and not just the weapon itself.

Note that I play solo quite often, so it's not a matter of lag.

Normally what I'd do if they stand "Inside" me~

I'd jump and slam the crap outta them to get out~

with my Fragor/Frago watever lol~

but I understand where you're coming from~

there are many a glitch with the "standing inside"~

example is Hyena boss you tends to gltich and spin in circles~

if you happen to be standing within it~

totally agreed

+1 on this... I hate it when those exploding Infected stand inside me, and I cant hit them before they explode... Really frustrating

Yeah, it's irritating when every melee animation makes you move closer and inevitably merge with the target.
