Yes, but taking a step away from pure combat, think of the Rpers :3 You know, cases where one -does- simply move about with it unsheathed.

Perhaps I should have reworded my feature suggestion: Give the sword, just like guns, a 'safety' toggle in general so controls get dropped/taken again while unsheathed.


As for the sheathing..the usual trinity applies: Manual chat command, touch, supplied gesture and everybody's happy :3 Can't think of anything else, really, unless you want to do something fancy like doubletapping crouch to sheath/unsheath.
