string getCreatureAnimationName(string playbackName)
{
    obj_id self = getSelf();
    string animName = "";

    int niche = ai_lib.aiGetNiche(self);

    //if (niche == NICHE_DROID || niche == NICHE_VEHICLE)
    if (niche == NICHE_VEHICLE)
    {
        animName ="droid_attack";
    }
    else
    {
        if(playbackName.endsWith("ranged"))
        {
            animName = "creature_attack_ranged";
        }
        else if(playbackName.endsWith("melee"))
        {
           // Default Melee attacks have a chance to trigger one of the following attacks:
           // creature_attack_heavy
           // creature_attack_light
           // creature_attack_special_1_heavy
           // creature_attack_special_1_light

            if(rand(1,2) == 1)
                animName = "creature_attack";
            else
                animName = "creature_attack_special_1";
            if(rand(1,2) == 1)
                animName += "_light";
            else
                animName += "_heavy";

            return animName;
        }
        else
            animName = "creature_attack_special_"+rand(1,2);
    }

    animName += "_medium";

    return animName;
}

They now have melee attacks but not ranged ones.
