Shishkebab

The shishkebab from Fallout 3/NV/4 always felt super awesome, so I decided to port it over to Zomboid, custom models and textures and all.

While not required to function, I recommend my Extra Fire Damage mod as well so the fire does more damage to zeds. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2943659774

The shishkebab sets zeds and players alike on fire when you hit them. If you’re worried about the fire spreading uncontrollably, don’t worry! You can turn off the flames, turning the shishkebab into a regular sword. While the shishkebab is alight, it produces some light around the wielder and has a different texture compared to the extinguished sword.

If you don’t want to watch the world burn, there is also a craftable Lawnmower Sword that is statistically identical to the shishkebab but doesn’t start fires, emit light, or use fuel.

There are a few downsides to the shishkebab, holding it back from being unstoppable.
It requires fuel. The shishkebab has a max of 10 swings at a time, and can be refilled with a gas can.
The shishkebab can hurt the user. If you aren’t wearing sufficient hand protection, swinging the shishkebab can burn your hand. This protection is calculated using the insulation on your right hand, so if your glove has a hole in it without you realizing you may find yourself getting burned.
It can only be crafted and the recipe is pretty expensive.
Fire is dangerous to everyone involved. I hope you can trust yourself to not get cornered!

More things to mention:
If you have the shishkebab strapped to your back, pressing the hotbar key with it in your hand won’t actually put it away but rather toggle the fire. To holster the shishkebab, either pull out a different item or right click the shishkebab and choose “unequip”.
This mod is balanced around fighting zombies. As fire is exponentially more dangerous to players than it is to zombies, the shishkebab is very dangerous in PvP.
If you blame me for you base or loot being destroyed because you used fire irresponsibly, I will laugh at you.

Known issues:
The model swapping for the ignited and extinguished shishkebab doesn’t work for other players on MP.
Hitting “unload shishkebab” while the shishkebab has fuel makes the player do the surrender animation. If you have the “outside spawns” mod that lets you parachute into Knox County, it instead plays the animation of you being dropped from the sky. Incredibly funny.
Refilling a shishkebab and leaving an empty gas can doesn’t actually leave an empty gas can item, but rather a gas can with 0 fuel. I don’t know how to explain it better, and you can see what I mean if you refill it with a gas can that’s already low on fuel.

Roadmap:
I plan on giving the lawnmower sword its own texture at some point istead of simply reusing the extinguished shishkebab texture.
The lawnmower sword and shishkebab will get their own unique icons eventually and not just reusing the machete icon
