Cancel Attack SKSE

OVERVIEW

Ever start an attack and instantly realize it was a bad idea? Now you can change your mind mid-swing.

This plugin lets you cancel melee attacks by pressing block - perfect for when a power attack turns into a panic move.

HOW

If you're in the middle of an attack and press your Block key (right-click or gamepad equivalent) or your Ready Weapon key (R or the gamepad equivalent), the mod will stop the attack animation and, if you're holding a shield or a 1H/2H weapon, immediately transition you into a block stance.

✔ Works with shields

✔ Works with spells in off-hand

✔ Works with 1H/2H weapons (including Staves)

✘ Does not work with unarmed

✘ Does not cancel bow/crossbow attacks (use the builtin cancel functionality: sheath/unsheathe)

Bows, crossbows, and unarmed are ignored on purpose.
