📋 About This Mod

Jumping Attack



A mod that's been in development for far to long(nearly a year maybe?) for what the end result does, simply put, you can now jump attack and whack people mid air!

A ton of behaviour shenanigans later and this is the end result, unfinished and it's still not prefect! Could do with a remake but oh well I've already remade this twice

Features
You can Jump and attack with all melee weapons by simply pressing your regular attack buttons
Be sure you sheath and unsheathe your Weapons or Hands after installing/updating the mod

Not sure why I'm putting this here as no one will read this

All weapon types are supported as well as magic and bows/crossbows

New Jumping Animations for when you have a weapon out

Slightly tweaked animation code for jumping with a weapon drawn

Regular Attacks allow you to move freely in the air             Power Attacks restrict your movement until you land

First Person is also lightly supported
Compatibility
AE Is compatible, behaviour mods don't need separate versions for each game versions

I've tried making this as compatible as possible, there's a lot of patches in the fomod that you can toggle on or off when installing

Some versions of both SkySa and ABR, ADXP/MCO, Elden Counter, Paragliding, Jump Behaviour overhaul, Project impact, SkySA Grip Switch all have patches in the fomod

Precision is supported, this mod was built with Precision in mind, Jumping power attacks get a small damage multiplier(1. 2x) as well as camera shake when you hit the ground with your weapon, no patch needed

True Directional Movement Has no issues with this mod  what so ever

Better Jumping Works with this, there is a weird issue though when doing a sprint jump attack with the sprint attack perk unlocked, the attack will go through but there's a tiny movement slow down

Double jumping animation mods work but only with a weapon sheathed

Any animation replacers for your jumping will only work with weapons sheathed

Base/full CGO and any CBE version - ARE NOT COMPATIBLE

ZxLice BackStab and Parry is not compatible, I have no idea why it's the strangest incompatibly I've seen

One Click Power Attack is not compatible, it has a feature that prevents you from doing the power attacks mid
