Fistfite.dat

The fistfite.dat file contains information on melee attacks, including damage and animation, in GTA III and Vice City. The file is located in the \data folder of the game's directory.

Format

		Name	Type	Description
A		Move Name	string	Any names can be used here. This is only used for identification.
B		Start Fire Time	float
C		End Fire Time	float
D		Combo follow on time	float	Right after the first attack, the next attack will be the next move in the list within the group. Successive attacks (mashing attack button) will no longer follow the list until the attack is no longer successive. This was never used in the game by default.
E		Strike Radius	float	The effective distance to do damage. Can also affect victims behind you.
-	F	Extend Reach Multiplier	float
F	G	Hit Level	character	G - ground; feet, but can glitch the animation of the victim if the victim is standing. L - low; attack the stomach. M - mid; attack the face. H - high; unlike to its name, this will automatically select which hit level to use based on the animation. N - none; does no damage
G	H	Animation Name	string	The name of the animation to use from the ped.ifp file. Any animation should work and do damage as long as the animation is loaded and the animation can reach the victim. You can use default as the name to use default animations that are hardcoded into the game.
H	I	Damage	integer	The higher the damage, the more health the victim loses and, if the victim's health is low enough, the father the victim flies into the air. The damage value for punching while running is defined in weapon.dat and the damage is calculated differently there.
I	J	Flags	integer
