Hmm... THERE's a bit of a doozy. The energy sword thing, you have to make it so that the plasma rifle IS the energy sword... You do that by modeling the plasma rifle, changing it so that it can't fire, and making the sounds and melee etc. This is mostly done in HHT.

For the elite thing... You have to make it so that, like the energy sword, MC is the elite. The elite doesn't have a HUD slot in it's meta. So you make MC's model, walk, whack, firing capabilities like an elite. Simple. Also in HHT.

Yeah, it acts like a normal weapon's melee. You don't jump at anyone or have crazy things like when you'd do it the old way. It works like a plasma rifle with no ammo. You just melee.

Here you can see it. My Energy Sword, none plasma Rifle, as the Plasma Rifle is already a Carbine :)
