[NEW] Blocking animations don't work

When using a lightsaber to parry another lightsaber, the block/parry animations seem to work just fine. That noted, the ones for parrying blaster bolts don't seem to be functioning. If these are switched off and/or have been removed, could they be re-added to the mod? Or is this more of a malfunction?

I've just tested this under various simulations, and I haven't found a problem.

Then there's a bug - my blocking animations do NOT work. Anyone else having this problem?

Aslyn is probably referring to Master Gabe Alkorda's saber/deflection mod.

Actually, I wasn't, but would that disable blaster-bolt parries?
I should note that I had this problem before installing the mod, too...

I think you have to have Saber Defense above Level 3 to have animations. I remember I had Saber Defense level 2 and didn't see blocking anims.

Above Def 3, or Def 3 and above?

I think Def 3+, but it might be only 4 and 5.

I do not understand what you mean. I often see Moza block bolts and stuff whenhe is confronted.

Oh, the bolts get blocked, but the lightsaber doesn't move to do it. Or is it simply the model height? Moza's at 110%, Corinth at 102%. I'm at 100% exactly. Do you need to be above that to see the blocking animations, and if so, why?

Nivek occassionally raises his saber to block but otherwise there's no deflection animation. Aknaross never moves his arms either, that's why I teach him to swing manually to do it, why not just do that? Takes a bit of practise and you'll develop some more skill.

Because that has no bearing on whether or not you actually block? That and the default animations should work anyway?

as far as I know..my model hight is 99% and I block as far as I know.
so I doubt it's the hight
