I am wondering if it is possible to create a melee weapon which, when used, will cause both the user and the target to perform an interlocked animation, e.g. the target is grabbed and has his throat slit with a knife. This might sound confusing, but any help would be appreciated.

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
It can be done, of course you would have to make the models and animate them, and make it very synchronous.
Wouldn't be that hard. The hardest part is that you would have to add those animations to the target. Also, you would have to make sure that the weapon doesn't get too "friendly" with the target - remember that the first person mesh is actually very small so it doesn't intersect with walls, so you just have to make sure it looks like your knife is cutting throat, when it's really far from the throat. Of course, if the target is a player, getting the target to see it happen would be a bit harder... then you would probably have to have a special "knife attack" animation for the whole player model.

Eater.
So when the attacker is at a certain distance from the victim, and at a cirtain angle, and the attacker fires I should just trigger the appropriate animation for both of them and assign damage, etc.
Thankyou for your help

to fix having to synchronize 1st person with the victims 3rd mesh you could just set both to 3rd person view (with behindview 1/0)and then return them to 1st person when the attack is done.
