Hey, I was just wondering if it would be possible to somehow remove the deflect function on a Jedi's lightsaber in BF1. Slashing things while being immune to all weapons except for grenades kinda ruins the gameplay. I've tried every ODF function I can think of. I've even checked the Gamorrean's axe ODF to see if it's able to deflect. Any help would be much appreciated.

LucasArts removed the deflect in Battlefront v1.1, so you may need to simply update your game.

The lightsaber's deflect is not listed in the ODF for some esoteric reason or other. In any case, the line to look for is CanDeflect = 1. In this case 1 means you can deflect and 0 means you can't. Oh, and beams can not be deflected, nor can the unused fatray (don't use it, the AI can not handle it, and never fire it (think the geo cannons)).

I tried the CanDeflect = 0 line and it didn't work. Any other ideas? I don't wanna update my BF1 if I don't have to.

It's a much better idea to update the game. There's lots more servers running version 1.2 and 1.3b then the non-patched version of the game.

I am somewhat surprised CanDelfect = 0 did not work. I am fairly certain that is what they used on the Gamor axe, and it doesn't deflect (otherwise Jabba's would be even worse). Assuming it was munged and placed in the correct folder, I have no idea what else you could do except the update . Good luck.

Thanks guys, but it still isn't working. It really isn't that big of a deal anyways; I'll just give the Jedi somewhat low health and speed so he doesn't seem like an invincible unit. He can still be killed with grenades and missiles to the feet. I'll be releasing this map to the general public quite soon, so get ready

Again, thanks for all the help. This can be locked for now.

Another solution to deflect is simply giving someone a beam rifle, though making sure AIs use the right weapon will be 50/50 odds.

You have to add CanDeflect = 1 , not CanDeflect = 0

I don't think you understand -- I DON'T want him to deflect. And anyways, I've tried both CanDeflect = 1 and 0, and they both don't work.
