Combat

Combat is how the player deals damage to enemies. There are two classes of weapons: melee and ranged.

• LMB to melee.
• RMB for a ranged attack.
• Shift+LMB to mine a tile.
• Attacks can move the player depending on weapon type.
  • Melee weapons generally thrust the player forwards towards the enemy as they excel in close range situations.
  • Ranged weapons cause the player to leap backwards away from danger as they excel in long range situations.
• Accessibility option to allow shift to be released after mining has started.

• Enemies will have zone indicators on the ground showing where the hit-boxes of their attacks lie.
• Enemies can move and then halt while attacking, charge forwards while attacking, pace back and strafe while shooting, switch fighting styles based on distance, etc.
• Enemies that fight in groups, such as wolves in packs, will have the oldest enemy in the group tagged as an 'alpha', having pack behavior scripts running off of them.
  • When an alpha is killed, alpha status instantly transfers to the next-oldest enemy.
  • When two alphas meet, the pack with the youngest alpha is absorbed into the oldest alpha's pack.
