Adds hitstop to BetterCombat, a brief animation freeze when your attack connects, making hits feel heavier and more impactful.
Support in Discord ! | Comissioned by TheCaptainToaster
Features
- Hitstop: Attack animation pauses for a few frames on hit
- Camera shake: Subtle screen shake on impact
- Entity freeze: Hit entities briefly freeze in place
- Per-weapon duration: Heavy weapons like claymores and hammers hitstop longer than daggers and rapiers
- Crit bonus: Critical hits add extra hitstop duration
- Fully configurable: Customize duration per weapon category, camera shake intensity, delays, and toggle everything on/off
Compatibility
- Requires: Better Combat
- Optional: Critical Strike RNG crits trigger hitstop bonus
Config
All settings are in the common config file. Weapon categories map to hitstop durations in ticks (1 tick = 50ms):
| Weight | Examples | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Light | dagger, fist, claw | 0 (crit only) |
| Medium | sword, katana, spear | 2 ticks |
| Heavy | axe, mace, glaive | 3 ticks |
| Ultra | claymore, hammer, anchor | 4-5 ticks |
| Crit bonus | all weapons | +2 ticks |
