Heretic's tomed gauntlets health restore

[DuduKrazy]

How do i make a weapon restore the player's health when attacking from a certain distance? something like in Heretic when using the Gauntlets and the Tome of Power.

ok. i managed to make a weapon that restores health when attacking a monster. i made a dummy drain powerup. but the problem is that the powerup doesn't wear off when deselecting the weapon.
