🔪 Machete Animation Randomizer

A Harmony-based mod that randomizes machete melee attack animations in real-time with advanced combat feel enhancements.

Features:

• Randomized weapon rotation angles
• Each attack feels unique and unpredictable
• Only affects normal attacks (not power attacks)

Combat Feel Enhancements:

• 🎯 Camera Shake on Impact - Visceral feedback when hits connect
• ⚖️ Weapon Momentum System - Weapons feel weighty with realistic inertia
• 🔥 Adaptive Combo Timing - Faster follow-up attacks reward aggressive play
• 💥 Enhanced Hit Feedback - Headshots and critical hits feel extra satisfying
• ⏱️ Windup Variation - Unpredictable attack timing prevents mechanical feel
