Gun + melee, taunts, custom animations

Hi,
I'm new to Torque, just imported my own player model and gun model day before yesterday, and I'm curious about a couple things I'd like to use in a game I'd like to start on.
1) Gun + melee --- I see Josh's Server-Side Melee system - is there any problems implementing it alongside the normal projectile-weapon system, such that I can have knives/swords/guns all intermixed on a character? Or say a Halo-style melee where you use your gun to smack somebody?
2) Custom Animations for taunts, weapons, triggered events - I just haven't found anything that mentions it yet - is it easy enough to call/execute custom animations, that is, those that aren't the standard supported "root", "run", "headside", etc? How do you do that?
3) Can Torque detect which body part has been hit? Say I chop someone's arm, can the engine let me know to show an arm-chopped-off anim? Head, for headshot, etc? Come to think of it, what game would be right if a headshot didn't insta-kill, so this must be built in. How do I access that feature?
Thanks!

Then take on the next step. You'll soooo many people (including me) getting the melee wrongly implemented... There are some errors in the Resource... But Check... and check again.
2) Google is your friend
3) Who's your friend? Yes google ;)
