📋 About This Mod

Kick Open Doors | Melee Anytime

NOTE: In v1. 9. 2, _ScriptCore is now a requirement to run the mod

This is because I don't want to include Hotkeys.lua with any separate mods anymore, since it can be used across many mods.

This a small REFramework script that enables the player to kick open doors, and optionally to melee anytime. The speed of the kicks can be configured using a slider. Supports moves from Leon, Luis, Krauser and Hunk.

Kick Open Doors

While looking at a door, press the "Interact" button twice in rapid succession. Leon will perform a kick into the door, similar to when you shoot an enemy in the leg and kick them from the front. The kick is powerful and can knock down or kill enemies standing on the other side of the door.

Melee Anytime

The Kick Open Doors mod also features a cheat called "Kick Anytime" where Leon can perform one of 8 possible melee kicks when you double tap the button while controlling him.

By default, if you enable "Kick Anytime",

-Horizontal attacks / roundhouse kicks can be performed by double tapping or pressing the button very quickly

-Straight attacks / front-kicks can be done by double-tapping more slowly, or by holding down the button (if using a custom button)

-Low Kicks can be done by kicking while looking at the ground

Alternatively, you can set roundhouse kicks and straight kicks to separate custom buttons if you enable custom hotkeys.

These kicks can be aimed in any direction, including towards the camera. To auto-aim a kick towards the camera, do not hold any movement direction while initiating it.

If you want to try and bring balance to the game again while using Kick Anytime, you can try making the enemies more aggressive with Relentless Enemies
