Shield Blocking in 360 Radius


Lotus97

Recommended Posts

What I'd like is a mod that blocks in all directions when your raise your shield. When playing in 3rd person (even with a lock-on mod - which is glitching out unfortunately), it's really hard to get the right angle (no pun intended) for blocking. Some have said that vanilla has a 120 arc radius for shield and that's only with enemies horizontal to you (so you can still get hit from above?)

 

I was wondering if there are any mods that change the block radius. I don't care what the values are - I can change them in TES5Edit. The closest thing I've found is that Ordinator has a perk that decreases damage by 25% if you have your shield raised so I could maybe increase that to 50%, but I'd really prefer to just change it so the shield blocks in all directions and have damage then tied to how good my blocking skill is (a fairer solution IMO)

 

It's been a few years since I've used the Creation Kit, but I'm willing to get back into it if I need to make this mod myself (I've forgotten how to use it so I'd prefer a ready-made mod if it exists). I was looking at the values here: https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=Category:Settings

However, I couldn't figure out which ones (if any) adjust block radius. Most them don't list what they do on that page and a few I searched Google for I couldn't find the answer.

Edit: There are a few things on that list that have radius at 128, but then I noticed some that list max radius at 512 (which doesn't make sense for my basic geometry knowledge, but I'm sure there's an explantion)
Also lines that I'm not sure what it does, but sounds promising:
fCombatBlockAttackReachMult
fCombatBlockAttackStrikeAngleMult
