ShootProjectile

Attacks the player by shooting an OverworldProjectile which can, under the right conditions, start a battle with advantage. The specifics of the projectile logic is dependant on the animid and only a few have a logic defined for this behavior.

None.

An overview of OverworldProjectile

This component is only involved over the course of this behavior. It is meant to be created externally via a static method called NewProjectile defined in that component's MonoBehavior. It takes a lot of parameters to setup the projectile notably a parent which will be this NPCControl.

At a basic level, an OverworldProjectile is a sprite with a default trigger BoxCollider that has the ability to call NPCControl.StartBattle with advantage on its OnTriggerStay when all of the following conditions are fufilled:

• The other collider is the player
• We aren't in a pause, minipause, inevent or inbattle
• The player isn't on shield
• This NPCControl entity isn't iskill
• This NPCControl dizzytime expired (this prevents encounters where the projectile hit the player, but the player stunned them before)

The projectile has a limited amount of screen time in frames, but if it touches the player (without encounter) or a Ground / NoDigGround layer, it gets destroyed with optional special effects.

As for the movement of the OverworldProjectile, it moves along a beizer curve with start / end points alongside the y position of the mid point. However, it is possible to send 0.1 or less for that last parameter to have it lerp in a straight line instead according to its screen time.

As for the rendering of of the projectile, it's a sprite index of the Sprites/Misc/projectiles sprites, but it's possible to send a negative number to specify an item id (the absolute value) to use as the sprite.

Notable traits of an OverworldProjectile GameObject:

• Its name is proj
• It is childed to the map
• A GameObject is childed to it with a SpriteRenderer called tempproj
• Its layer is 14 (Sprite)
• Its tag is Projectile

DoBehavior

If returntoheight is true, the entity.height is set to a lerp from the existing one to its initialheight with a factor of 0.1.

If the entity is in a forcemove, StopForceMove is called on the entity without smoothing and without changing the animstate.

Finally, a ShootProjectile coroutine is started and set to behaviorroutine.

ShootProjectile

This is a private coroutine specific to this behavior. It receives the behavior type and the coroutine call is assigned to behaviorroutine which allows the NPCControl to stop it if needed.

• Emoticon is called on the entity with id 2 (a red ! mark) for 60 frames
• If projectiles is null, it is initalised to a new List of OverworldProjectile
• All null elements in projectiles are removed
• FaceTowards is called on the entity to face the player
• From there, the projectile is fired depending on the entity.animid. See the section below for more details. If this is not an animid with a projectile logic, the following is done:
  • entity.animstate is set to entity.basestate
  • If we aren't inrange, entity.overrideonlyflip is set to false
  • A frame is yielded
  • StopForceBehavior is called
  • The coroutine is exited early with a yield break
• entity.animstate is set to entity.basestate
• If we aren't inrange, entity.overrideonlyflip is set to false
• A frame is yielded
• StopForceBehavior is called
• If we still aren't inrange, Emoticon is called on the entity with id 1 (? mark) for 60 frames

Projectile logic

Here are the different logic available for each animid.

DeadLanderA

If there's no projectiles:

• entity.animstate is set to 103 (shooting)
• A second is yielded
• All frames are yielded as long as we are in a pause, minipause, inevent or we are in a battle that is inevent
• If either dizzytime or freezecooldown haven't expired, this projectile logic ends early (but the coroutine continues)
• FaceTowards is called on the entity to face the player
• entity.animstate is set to 104 (going back to idle from shooting)
• A projectile gets added with this NPCControl as the parent:
  • sprite index 10 (honey projectile)
  • starting position at this NPCControl position - its right vector + (0.0, 1.25, 0.0)
  • target position being the player position undershot by 1.5 towards the direction of the player
  • No spin
  • y angles of the entity.sprite angle, but no x or z
  • size of uniform 0.75
  • HoneyExplode particles on the projectle destruction
  • y midpoint of the bezier curve of 2.0
  • time of 50.0 frames
  • shadow size multiplier of 0.25
• 0.5 seconds are yielded

No matter if there was projectiles or not, all frames are yielded as long as we are in a pause, minipause, inevent or we are in a battle that is inevent followed by an additional yield which ends this projectile.

WaspBomber

If there's no projectiles:

• entity.animstate is set to 101 (throwing)
• A projectile gets added with this NPCControl as the parent:
  • sprite index -30 (SpicyBomb item sprite)
  • starting position at this NPCControl position - its right vector + (0.25, 1.25, -0.1)
  • target position being the player position undershot by 1.5 towards the direction of the player
  • Spin of 20.0 in z (no x or y)
  • y angles of the entity.sprite angle, but no x or z
  • size of uniform 1.0
  • explosionsmall particles on the projectle destruction (also, if the player is less than 15.0 away on destruction, Explosion sound is played at 0.75 pitch followed by a ShakeScreen of 0.1 for 0.5 seconds without reset)
  • y midpoint of the bezier curve of 5.0
  • time of 80.0 frames
  • shadow size multiplier of 0.5
• a second is yielded
• entity.animstate is set to 0 (Idle)

No matter if there was projectiles or not, all frames are yielded as long as we are in a pause, minipause, inevent or we are in a battle that is inevent followed by an additional yield which ends this projectile.

ToeBiter

If there was at least 1 projectiles, all frames are yielded as long as we are in a pause, minipause, inevent or we are in a battle that is inevent followed by an additional yield which ends this projectile logic.

If there's no projectiles:

• entity.animstate is set to 100 (lowering upper limbs to the ground)
• 0.5 seconds are yielded
• entity.animstate is set to 101 (putting upper limbs in the air)
• If dizzytime or freezecooldown aren't expired, this projectile logic ends early, but the coroutine still continues
• All frames are yielded as long as the player isn't free (ignoring flying) or they are digging
• If internaltransform[0] doesn't exist, it is initialised to a Prefabs/Objects/CrackedRock prefab without its MeshCollider and Fader with a position of this NPCControl + (0.0, -2.0, 0.0), and a scale of 0.5 uniform
• internaltransform[0] is childed to the map
• If dizzytime or freezecooldown aren't expired, this projectile logic ends early, but the coroutine still continues
• From there, there is a loop that goes on for up to 11.0 frames, but counted by a local variable which only gets incremented towards the end of the loop by the game's frametime (meaning there may be more frames yielded during the loop, but it will stop after 11.0 frames are counted using the local variable):
  • internaltransform[0] position is set to a lerp from the existing one to (entity.sprite position + the normalised right vector of the entity + 0.3 in y) with a factor of the ratio of the amount of frames counted in this loop over 11.0. This basically moves the rock on a straight line to a position above the entity, but slightly towards them
  • If dizzytime or freezecooldown aren't expired, this projectile logic ends early, but before it is ends, all frames are yielded as long as we are in a pause, minipause, inevent or we are in a battle that is inevent followed by an additional yield
  • This is where the local frame counter is incremented by the game's frametime, but only if we aren't in a pause
  • A frame is yielded
• 0.25 seconds are yielded
• All frames are yielded as long as the player isn't free (ignoring flying)
• entity.animstate is set to 28 (TossItem)
• All frames are yielded as long as the player isn't free (ignoring flying)
• If dizzytime or freezecooldown aren't expired, this projectile logic ends early, but the coroutine still continues
• The Toss3 sound is played at 0.9 volume
• A projectile gets added with this NPCControl as the parent:
  • sprite index 17 (A brown missile)
  • starting position at this internaltransform[0] position
  • target position being the player position undershot by 1.5 towards the direction of the player
  • No spin
  • y angles of the entity.sprite angle and z angle of 90.0, no x
  • size of uniform 0.5
  • Rock particles on the projectle destruction (will also lead to the rooting of the rock if it still exists followed by CrackRock being called on it. Additionally, if the player is 15.0 away, RockBreak sound is played at 0.75 pitch followed by a ShakeScreen of 0.1 for 0.5 seconds without reset)
  • y midpoint of the bezier curve of 3.0
  • time of 40.0 frames
  • shadow size multiplier of 0.25
• The projectile gets childed to internaltransform[0]. This is done so because the game hides the fact the rock isn't the projectile, but rather a brown missile is and its sprite gets disabled on the OverworldProjectile's Start because of the Rock particle on death parameter sent
• internaltransform[0] is set to null (OverworldProjectile takes control of it from now on)
• 0.5 seconds are yielded
• All frames are yielded as long as we are in a pause, minipause, inevent or we are in a battle that is inevent followed by an additional yield which ends this projectile

• If dizzytime or freezecooldown aren't expired, this projectile logic ends early, but the coroutine still continues
• The Lazer sound is played on the entity
• FlipSpriteAngleAt is called on the entity towards the player with offset (0.0, 90.0, 0.0)
• A projectile gets added with this NPCControl as the parent:
