Templar Reflect on Parry

Description
A simple little mod that allows Templar's Reflect to trigger on Parry.

This mod also slightly changes the way Deflect and Reflect chances are handled. Before, the game rolls for Reflect first, if it fails, it does not roll for Deflect at all. The only time it rolls for Deflect is when you have exactly 1 Focus (or not learned Reflect yet). This means that at high Focus you never see a Deflect happen, only Reflect.
I have changed it to (imo) a more intuitive way - The game first rolls for Deflect, if it succeeds, then it rolls for possible Reflect.
This nerfs Reflect slightly, but is easily compensated by triggering Reflect on Parry.

I've also added 2 new ini settings:

bCanDeflectMelee = false
bCanDeflectArea = false

By default these are set to false as in vanilla, but you can change it so Deflect acts more like a "Parry on rng", deflecting melee and area attacks too.
You can also change ini settings for Deflect, Reflect and Reflect on Parry specifically in the same config file (XComParryReflect.ini).

No need to start a new campaign, just enable it out of mission.

Fully compatible with:
Supreme Focus
Tempest Combat
(probably all other Templar mods actually)

reflect on parry is dealing no damage??

Did I do something wrong?

Just finished a campaign with about 280 mods, this one included, and had no major issues! Thanks for putting this up.

Yes, the templar will use up the Parry when triggerering Reflect and become vulnerable (with the chance to Deflect/Reflect afterwards). The Parry is like a guaranteed Deflect on first hit, it just missed the chance to Reflect previously.

Hi,

Just a quick question.

If I use Parry, and then Reflect/Deflect triggers, does that "use up" my Parry, and the Templar is now vulnerable?

I should have noticed by now, but the random nature of XCOM makes it hard to tell how things are intended/understood to work sometimes :(

thanks :)

@Martox Absolutely. Do what you want with it.

Would it be ok if I used this for a mod I'm working on?

It's the simple little interactions like this that make the game more fun and interesting. Thanks for this!

This is nice. My Templar is getting outdated when my Rangers get too powerful. This would make Templar more fun again

It is rolled same way as normal. Depending on your Focus level. You can make it guaranteed with the included ini settings.
