I created a Shield Block ability for a soldier class that uses Ballistic Shield secondary, along with a custom animation, but then realized that using eHit_Deflect in X2Effect_Persistent::ChangeHitResultForTarget to take advantage of that animation results in psionic particle effects being played whenever the soldier deflects an attack.

My custom deflect animation has no particle effects in it, they are added in XComUnitPawn::PlayHitEffects.
