Psionic Melee

Description
After meeting the Templars, a few of XCOM's Psi Operatives took a liking to their ferocity in melee and started bringing shard gauntlets instead of psi amps into battle.

Using shard gauntlets on a Psi Operative doesn't grant focus or any of the other Templar abilities, but it does allow a pretty effective melee attack with a 100% hit rate. However the soldier's psi bonuses will be much less (and actually a penalty at conventional tier) due to the lack of a psi amp; attacks like Soulfire also do less damage with gauntlets equipped.

Special thanks to ObelixDk for making the animations used when soldiers don't have a psi amp equipped, and to Ginger for helping me debug the visualization code.

WOTC only.

And for Bladestorm with RPGO: find XComRPG.ini config inside the RPG Overhaul mod, go to line 65 and 66 and add replace_psiamp to both weapon categories, the only silly thing is that your soldier will not put away the primary weapon when doing the Bladestorm slash

If you want the Rend from these gauntlets to work with Rend the Lost, add this line in "XComGameData_SoldierSkill.ini inside that mod: +ValidHeadshotAbilities=PsiOpRend

For some reason, I can't use the upgraded Shard Blade

Using this alongside RPG Overhaul - Templar Disciple Specialization and I can't generate Focus, even though the latter specifically says it should, and that they are both meant to work together.

Any help would be appreciated <3
