Update 2024.09.12.0
Hellish Quart pre-alpha v.2024.09.12.0
TWEAK:
- Optimized Movement script
- Fencing Priority system upgrades:
This system will try to turn a potential double kill into a parry-riposte exchange, when both fencers press attack within 0.12s of each other (so practically at the same time). The system will trigger the attack of the fencer who pressed the button first, and slightly delay the attack of the fencer who pressed the button later. The goal of this system is to have "cleaner" looking duels and fewer double hits. This is all optional and can be turned on or off when choosing a game mode. Rules:
a) will not trigger for special input attacks (for example requiring "Down, Fwd" or "Fwd, Fwd" input)
b) will not trigger for Long, High or Low guard attacks
c) will not trigger if you or the opponent are doing an attack while moving back
d) will not trigger for certain attacks or/and weapons for which parry-riposte gameplay has no sense (for example the axe, cross-cutting, or dedicated single tempo counters, or big, slow attacks). In this case, neither fencer will trigger this system, and not just the one who does the specific move
e) the delayed fencer (one that is doing a riposte) now forces the first fencer to assume a guard when he ripostes, but not sooner than the active frames end (if on block, then it's right away)
f) the delayed fencer will trigger his attack immediately after he blocks (instead of a fixed time)
g) the delayed fencer will trigger his attack immediately after he detects the first fencer is no longer in active frames if he whiffs or cancels
h) if f. or g. doesn't happen the delayed fencer will trigger his counter attack after the preset Delay time (in Options)
i) the delayed fencer is now Homing on his enemy while he waits for his riposte
j) if you are doing a combo or linking attacks, this rule applies only to the first attack
k) if during the delay fencers gain more than 2.8m distance between each other the riposte will trigger immediately
l) will not trigger if the first fencer is doing a thrust attack
m) If the delayed fencer was pressing forward or sideways, he will be stopped in place
TL;DR: It is more nuanced than yesterday
FIX:
- Tarnavski: fixed Right + A attack
