Update 0.47

Melee combat improvements

• Players can now hold their shield instead of having to time it. This makes it possible to block incoming projectiles and melee combat is much easier.
• Attacks can be started while defending and the player will automatically defend after the attack, if the defend key is pressed.
• While defending without a shield, the weapon will be held while holding the defend key. In addition, the player will choose the correct defend direction automatically while looking at a unit.
• Added a visual effect when the shield or weapon is hit while defending
• Hitting the environment or other objects with a melee weapon will now stop the attack and play a sound
• To balance the new defending, AI units can now break the player's defense by hitting the shield/weapon
  • The probability depends on the weapon: 0-10% chance based on weapon weight + 5% bonus for blunt weapons
  • Defending will not be possible for 1.0-1.25 seconds

• The hit detection of shields and melee weapons in first person has been improved
• Melee weapons will no longer register double hits due to incorrect hit detection

RTS mode changes

• Removed the real time strategy button from the spectate HUD
• It can now be started with the SetStrategyMode scripting node to create dedicated maps for it
• The scripting node also allows you to select the strategy mode options and whether you want to show the spectate UI or not

New scripting nodes

• Added SetSpectateCamPos/Rot and RestrictSpectateCam nodes to create custom camera logic or cutscenes with the spectate camera
