📋 About This Mod
Changes vanilla idles
Fleeing mechanics:
· Fleeing agents may now drop their weapons and will have proper fleeing animations
Injury mechanics:
· If the HP of an agent is low, they will enter the "injured state".
· There are 7 different location-based injury animations for idle, walking and running states.
· Injuries impact how the character performs based on the affected body part:
· Leg injuries reduce movement speed
· Arm injuries slow down swing speed and may cause the character to drop their shield if the shield arm is hit
· Head injuries combine effects of both reduced movement speed and attack speed.
· Abdomen injuries also decrease movement speed
Bleeding mechanics:
· Agents who are injured will bleed from the wound
New onehanded polearm & shield animations for walking, running and idling.
