Cap's Shield

Description
A functional SWEP of Cap's big frisbee, for TTT and Sandbox.

Credits

Original shield model I think comes from here

Code for the thrown shield comes from here. I just made a few amendments.

Models and animations for the arms come from here (also code for punching)

Code for the blocking originally came from here. (though I did end up rewriting it somewhat)


How it works

It's a shield!
You can punch people, block bullets (specifically bullets) and throw it.
Note that you can still be shot in the back, sides and legs

Can be purchased from the Detective's shop in TTT.

Primary fire = Punch
Secondary fire (hold) = Block
Reload = Throw

When thrown, the shield will bounce around like an angry frisbee.
It'll damage any player or NPC it hits, except for the person that threw it (it'll return to the throwing player's hands on contact).

While blocking, you may notice that even when the incoming damage is fully blocked, blood still comes out!
I doubt I'll ever fix that!


CONVARS

ttt_capshield_damagefactor (default: 0) => How much to scale the damage by when the attacker shoots the shield while the defender is blocking ('0' means all damage is blocked).

ttt_capshield_protectangle (default: 60) => Effective angle of the shield. Increase this to allow for wider blocking area ('360' would, in theory, mean the shield blocks damage from every direction).
