Unified Combat Changes how spell casting, rolling, and attacking work together with clear rules you can customize.
Roll - Spell Interaction
- Instant Cast Cancel — If you roll while casting a spell, the spell gets cancelled immediately. You'll see the animation stop and the server stops the spell logic.
- Roll Lock While Casting — Blocks you from rolling while you're casting a spell. This is OFF by default. To turn it on, you need to turn OFF Instant Cast Cancel.
- Spell Whitelist — You can make certain spells (like Magic Arrow, Root, Poison Arrow) ignore these rules. Those spells let you roll freely or keep casting even if you roll.
- Input Buffering (Roll Queue) — If you press roll in the last 5 ticks (0.25 seconds) of casting, the mod remembers it. The roll happens automatically right when your spell finishes. You can change how long this window is.
Combat Interaction
- Better Combat Upswing Cancel — Rolling stops any Better Combat attack you're in the middle of. Your attack gets reset so you can dodge cleanly.
- Roll Lock While Attacking
While performing a Better Combat attack, rolling is temporarily locked until the attack completes or is canceled.
Input Control & Feedback
- Keyboard & Mouse Roll Interception
Roll input is intercepted before reaching Combat Roll when: - You are attacking and roll lock is active, or
- You are casting a spell that is not whitelisted
This ensures roll behavior is handled consistently and prevents unintended dodges.
- Player Feedback
When a roll input is blocked (due to attack lock or spell restrictions), the player receives: - An on-screen message explaining why the roll was blocked
- A sound cue for immediate feedback
Both can be disabled via the config.
Combat Consequences
- Mana Penalty ("Panic Roll") — If you cancel a spell by rolling, you lose some mana. The amount depends on how much of the spell's mana cost you want to charge (you set the percentage).
- Anti-Spam Cooldown — After cancelling a spell, you can't cast that same spell again immediately. There's a short cooldown.
- School-Based Backlash — Cancelling certain magic can hurt you based on what type of spell it was:
- Fire spells → You catch on fire
- Ice spells → You get slowed
- Lightning spells → You get shocked
- (You can turn this on/off and adjust the chance)
Visual & Audio Effects
- Directional Particle Trails — When you roll-cancel a spell, particles shoot out in the direction you're rolling (like the Blood Step effect).
- School-Specific Cancel Sounds — Different spell types make different sounds when you cancel them.
Configuration You can customize everything in the config file:
- Enable or disable roll locking while attacking
- Toggle roll lock during spell casting
- Adjust the roll input buffer window
- Define whitelisted spells that can roll-cancel
- Set mana penalties for blocked roll attempts
- Enable or disable backlash effects and configure their chance
- Toggle feedback messages and sounds independently
This allows full control over combat commitment, responsiveness, and difficulty.
