📋 About This Mod
Like TK Dodge, Engarde hooks into the movement keys to determine the direction of Power Attacks and Dodges. This becomes a problem, however, when True Directional Movement is installed, since your movement keys will not always reflect your characters movement direction. This patch fixes this issue by editing the conditions of Engarde's IDLE records to account for the TDM_DirectionalMovement Global, so that the dodge idle always matches your character's movement direction, without sacrificing the Responsiveness of Engarde's controls.
Requirements:
True Directional Movement - Modernized Third Person Gameplay
Installation:
Ensure that Engarde -TDM patch.esp is loaded after Engarde.esp and TrueDirectionalMovement.esp
Run Engarde's Synthesis patch as per the mod author's instructions
Compatibility
Should be compatible with anything as long as it's compatible with Engarde and True Directional Movement. Mods that edit the IDLE records in Engarde will be incompatible. (But I don't know of any that exist).
This patch fixes power attacks and dodges in Engarde to work correctly with True Directional Movement. It's a small compatibility mod with 302 endorsements and 69,467 downloads, last updated in August 2021. For players using both mods, this is essential.
