Perfect Parries - Souls-Like Parrying

By
narwhals

Adds a souls/RPG precision combat mechanic where if you block at the instant where you are supposed to take damage (perfect parry), you don't lose stamina, deflect some damage, and eventually stun the attacker upon exhausting their stamina.

Features:

If you time your block at the moment the enemy's attack is landing, you deal some damage in return, don't lose stamina, and gain some signature energy
Special VFX & SFX upon perfect parries, counterattacks, staggers, and stuns
Counterattack: attacking right after a perfect parry deals extra damage and triggers special effects
Successful parries knock the opponent back and have a chance to stagger
Separate parry system for PvE and PvP, enabling proper balancing
Parry Effects: Speed, Damage Resistance, Regeneration, Heal, Stamina Restoration, Slow
Custom parrying, stun, and wake animations
On-screen reticle indicators for parry windows and counterattack windows
Optional ranged attack reflection (arrows / projectiles)
NPCs can parry players with their own configurable settings
Entity Stamina System:
- All entities will have a configurable stamina system where they get stunned (special stun and wake animation) if stamina reaches 0
- A stun allows for a critical attack window (default = 2.5x damage) or rest (heal, eat, reposition, etc.)
- Each parry and attack will do a different/configurable amount of stamina to each mob
- Optional stamina display
