Using Force Power Influence during combat

By Tarkalion, in Star Wars: Force and Destiny RPG

I have a player that is set on using this power in every occasion he has, including mid combat. Something like: I'm using force influence to make enemy feel at peace, so he doesn't shoot anymore.

Now, I have never seen a Jedi use it during combat, only before it, or as a diplomatic try to evade combat.

As far I looked, rules nowhere state that it cannot be used during combat, so how would you deal with it? Upgrade difficulty, since target is in hostile state, or ban it from use once combat starts, or something third?
