So, I have already made a comment on this, but I figured that a new discussion would more easily get your attention, Mr. Rubat.

Anyways my idea is that maybe you could make it so RMB blocks incoming damage using one of the riotshield lua scripts and change force power use to a key combination like E+Something or just some other key.

I've been searching around and it seems the shield script creates a visible (or sometimes invisible) prop in front of the player, which protects the user/wielder for as long as they hold down the button, however it seems that some guns from the workshop can penetrate the prop, so maybe it could be something a bit more thicker.

Now, I know your addon has the "force absorb" power, but it depletes too quickly and doesn't give you a chance to fight back, with my suggestion, blocking wouldn't depend on force power, or maybe it would, but not as much as "absorb" and wouldn't be a 360° defense, however it would last longer.

If this could be done, the lightsaber would be hundreds of times more useful in multiplayer and would actually make it similar to the ones in the movies/EU, where you can deflect blaster bolts and stuff. Anyways, just an idea that has been discussed many times in the Star Wars Roleplay servers. Thanks for reading.

Just a note: I recently got into lua scripting and modeling, so I am willing to provide help, in order to make the update faster. Just contact me if so you desire.

Slight Update: Thanks for buffing the force absorb, it is quite a bit more useful now, really is an improvement, however my suggestion stands.
