Development-Related Text

MonoBehaviours

Many of the game's MonoBehaviour strings contain notes from development, that are never seen in-game.

ActionState_

Code for actions performed by the player, enemies, and NPCs. All the following MonoBehaviours (MB) have the prefix of "ActionState_". The following developer notes are copied directly from the MB .json files. Some have the same notes, and are listed together in the table below. Most notes pertain to describing the MB.

MB Name	Developer Notes
BaddieImpactResponseArmorBreak	Used as an interrupting impact response (which doesn't need an interrrupt level check) this is useful for armor break and stun
BaddieImpactResponseHeavy_MUTED	Currently muted out, as the 'big' hit response overrides animations at the moment.
BaddieImpactResponseHeavy	The Heavy Hit (interrupts normal behaviour) - valid for mid and heavy hits (if they pass the priority level)
BaddieImpactResponseMid	A non interrupting hit response - similar to light, but allows ricochet - reserved for heavy hits that do NOT pass priority (normal heavy attacks)
BaddieImpactResponseRicochet	When bounced off a wall from being punched

Utilises combos to properly test the fundamentals of the player. Their combo finishers can vary based on range and cooldowns, meaning that players need to be reactive to their abilities and pay attention to their own positioning in order to read their patterns.
