📋 About This Mod
Changes dependencies and how this functions to be much cleaner and compatible with any animation. By utilizing State Behavior Framework I have changed this to only clear the key effect once per attack, regardless of how many weapon swings it performs, allowing for proper function with multi hitting moves. Also changed it to only clear the forward, backward, left and right keytraces. All other effects such as shift and alt will function as normal.
The Fix
Dtry's Key Utils is an essential mod with a very obnoxious bug. This fixes it by clearing the key press magic effect once per weapon attack. Works for Paulmix's dTry Key Utils Extended as well.
Optional adjustable cooldown in the .toml for those who don’t want it to clear every attack.
Optional tweaks patch provided to only allow for the first direction pressed to be active instead of being able to have all four active at once. If you press two directions at the same time the one with the lower Form ID will win. Highly recommended.
