Enemy States (Werehog)

The Werehog's enemies have a chart (or character) state xml, found in their respective archive files (e.g. #EvilEnemyNightmareR.ar.00 >> EvilEnemyNightmareR.chr.xml). This XML file deals with the different states of the enemies, and how the enemies react to the player's attack types.

Note

Each enemy has distinct states (hard-coded), so we will view common values between enemies.

StateChartInfo

The StateChartInfo identifies the enemy's state as "Rise", and receives "KnockOut" when hit with a "KnockBackSoft" attack type.

StatChart is what the game calls the StateChart, which contains every individual information of the different states. StateChartInfo represents an individual state of a nighttime enemy. StateNames identify the different enemy states which are active, along with player attack types.

These vary between enemies, hence it is currently impossible to add new ENEMY states or states which belong to other enemies. However, it is possible to create a StateChartInfo with an attack type, allowing for enemies to react to the next attack type.

The enemy reacts to different attack types by writing in the StateNames into the variables. For example, if an enemy is in the "Rise" state and the player attacks them with a combo using the "NormalSoft" attack type, that enemy will enter a damage state and therefore receive damage (which is determined by Evil_Enemy.prm.xml and the code itself. Refer to "Attack and Hitbox Collision Types" for more information on attack types.

StateNames

There are common states such as "Begin", "Walk", "Damage", "Think", and so on, which work commonly between enemies and their variants. Next, enemies tend to have group specific values, such as Small and Middle enemies having a "Jump" or "Combo" state while minibosses do not. Finally, enemies have their own specific values for their enemy type and variants, such as "AttackOneHand" or "Shot".
