Remove Animation Cancel – ESO Attack Commitment (1.3)
Authors: Nickxon, @STUDLETONDescriptionRemoves attack animation cancelling from ESO combat by preventing skill casts, dodge rolls and weapon swaps from interrupting light and heavy attack animations.The addon is designed to create a committed and immersive combat experience while keeping gameplay responsive and dynamic. The goal is for Light Attacks and Skills to exist as individual combat actions that the player intentionally combines into sequences, rather than merging attacks directly into skill casts as seen in the traditional weaving system. This addon offers an alternative combat system approach in the form of a optional harder game mode.Keep in mind, that this will remove the ability to LA-Weave, which will lower your overall damage potential. That means you should be mindful of using this addon in high difficulty content especially when you join up with other players that might be expecting you to weave for maxed out DPS.The addon features a Pulse effect that provides visual feedback when combat actions become available again. Since ESOs native input queueing cannot be fully utilized with this combat system approach, the pulse helps players to find a natural combat rhythm and avoid missed inputs. This Pulse can be amplified for more visual cue aswell as turned off for immersion in the settings menu.The default timings are intentionally tuned to prioritize smoother and more responsive inputs to match the fast pace of ESO Combat. Since addons do not have access to ESO’s native skill queueing system, the timing values are slightly more forgiving in order to maintain fluid gameplay.As a result, highly aggressive skill spamming may still allow occasional animation cancels near the end of an attack animation.The following optional Values uses stricter timings designed to make it almost impossible to cancel an animation, creating a more committed and immersive combat experience.TLDR: If you experience animation cancels happening too early, Set the following values in the settings:1H Animation Time (in MS): 4102H Animation Time (in MS): 585_____________________________________________________________________________Installation Instructions1.
