About this mod

This mod extends SCAR to support magic combat in the same way as melee combat.
Like additional animation file, SCAR_Dummy.hkx, is used in melee to add extra annotations.
Similarly, in magic combat, I have added a Dummy.hkx to serve the same purpose.
This allows magic-using NPCs making their magical combat more dynamic and diverse.

About

In vanilla behavior, magic combat differs from melee combat as it only has two simple states: ready and casting. This makes magic-using NPCs feel quite dull.
I am committed to adding a variety of rich magic behaviors.
This module utilizes SCAR to influence the magic AI, giving NPCs the opportunity to perform different actions.
It also integrates with my other magic behavior modules, enhancing the diversity and dynamics of magical combat.

About This Mod This is a source resource mod.

在原版（Vanilla）的魔法行為中，與近戰不同，魔法僅有簡單的 準備（ready） 和 施法（casting） 兩種狀態，這使得使用魔法的 NPC 顯得十分單調。
我致力於添加各種豐富的魔法行為。
此模組透過 SCAR 的方式干涉魔法 AI，讓 NPC 有機會執行不同的行為，
並與我其他的魔法行為模組相互結合，進一步提升魔法戰鬥的多樣性與動態表現。

For Mod Authors

Although this mod is an extension of SCAR, it's important to note that SCAR is primarily focused on melee AI, and there are key differences when it comes to magic AI.
  • Magic Behavior Differences:
    Unlike melee combat, magic behavior doesn’t have a concept of combos.This means chaining one animation directly into another, as done in melee, isn’t possible in the same way for magic.
  • Expanding Possibilities:
    However, you can still create diverse and dynamic behaviors by combining this module with OAR (Open Animation Replacer) and payloads.These tools allow you to design unique interactions and magic combat styles beyond the limitations of vanilla AI.
  • Starter Animations Included:
    To help you get started, I’ve included some basic preset animations in the options.These are designed for you to experiment with and build upon in your own creations.Additionally, I will use these presets as examples to explain how this system works, which will also serve as the foundation for one of my future magic modules.

Annotation Details :  Similar to melee combat, where SCAR_1hmReadyDummy.hkx is used to add additional annotations,
I have created MagSCAR_Dummy.hkx for magic behavior to achieve the same functionality.

But Unlike  SCAR_1hmReadyDummy.hkx, which only plays in the combat-ready state,  
MagSCAR_Dummy.hkxplays in any state during magic behavior.
(You can verify this using this tool.)
This allows for flexible integration with OAR’s rich condition system.
As long as the OAR conditions are met,MagSCAR_Dummy.hkxwith theSCAR_ComboStartannotation will play.
SCAR’s condition checks will be triggered within any magic behavior animation that usesMagSCAR_Dummy.hkx.


In MagSCAR_Dummy.hkx:
  • 3.100000 SCAR_ComboStart
    • Triggers SCAR_ActionData checks when the animation reaches 3.1 seconds.
  • 4.500000 MagFrenzy_UpdateEvent
    • Refreshes this animation every 4.5 seconds.
  • 1.000000 SCAR_ActionData
    {"IdleAnimation":"StartMagCS", "MinDistance":0, "MaxDistance":1000, "StartAngle":-180, "EndAngle":180, "Chance":100, "Type":"IDLE", "WeaponLength":90}
    • If conditions are met, executes the StartMagCS event command, which triggers the MagInfusion_Intro.hkx animation.
In

MagInfusion_Intro.hkx:
  • 2.000000 SCAR_ComboStart
    • Triggers SCAR_ActionData checks when the animation reaches 2.0 seconds.
  • 1.000000 SCAR_ActionData
    {"IdleAnimation":"MagIFType2", "MinDistance":0, "MaxDistance":70, "StartAngle":-90, "EndAngle":90, "Chance":70, "Type":"IDLE", "WeaponLength":90}
    • If conditions are met, executes the MagIFType2 event command to play the MagFrenzy_Type2.hkx animation.
  • 0.900000 SCAR_ActionData
    {"IdleAnimation":"MagIFType1", "MinDistance":0, "MaxDistance":1000, "StartAngle":-120, "EndAngle":120, "Chance":100, "Type":"IDLE", "WeaponLength":100}
    • If conditions are met, executes the MagIFType1 event command to play the MagFrenzy_Type1.hkx animation.



So  Example Workflow is (From the Provided Option File):
  • Is the NPC in a magic behavior state?
    (Are they in combat with spells equipped?)
  • OAR Condition Check
  • Determine if a valid MagSCAR_Dummy.hkx should play
  • Does the playing MagSCAR_Dummy.hkx contain a SCAR_ComboStart annotation?
  • If SCAR_ActionData conditions are met:
    • Triggers the StartMagCS event, playing MagInfusion_Intro.hkx.
  • If conditions within MagInfusion_Intro.hkx are met:
    • Plays the corresponding animation (MagFrenzy_Type1.hkx or MagFrenzy_Type2.hkx).

給模組作者的說明   雖然此模組是 SCAR 的擴充，但需注意 SCAR 主要專注於近戰 AI，與魔法 AI 之間仍有一些差異。
  • 魔法行為的差異：
    不同於近戰，魔法行為並沒有「連擊」的概念，因此無法像近戰一樣，將一段動畫直接接續到下一段動畫。
  • 擴展更多可能性：
    儘管如此，你仍然可以透過與 OAR（Open Animation Replacer） 和 payload 的結合，創造出多樣化且豐富的魔法行為，突破原版 AI 的限制。
  • 內建基礎動畫：
    為了幫助你更好地理解與應用，我在模組選項中提供了一些 預設基礎動畫，供你進行創作與實驗。這些範例不僅是我未來另一個魔法模組的基礎，也將作為說明範本，幫助你了解系統的運作方式。


註解說明:   如同在近戰中，SCAR_1hmReadyDummy.hkx 動畫文件可用於添加額外註解，
我在魔法狀態下新增了 MagSCAR_Dummy.hkx 來達成相同的功能。

但 與 SCAR_1hmReadyDummy.hkx 不同，
SCAR_1hmReadyDummy.hkx 只會在 戰鬥準備（ready） 狀態下播放，
而 MagSCAR_Dummy.hkx 則會在 魔法行為的任何狀態 下播放。
（你可以使用 這個工具 進行檢查。）
這使得它能夠與 OAR 的豐富條件進行靈活搭配。
只要 OAR 條件符合，帶有 SCAR_ComboStart 註解的 MagSCAR_Dummy.hkx 就會播放。
在 任何魔法行為動畫 中使用 MagSCAR_Dummy.hkx，即可進行 SCAR 的條件判定。


在

MagSCAR_Dummy.hkx 中：
  • 3.100000 SCAR_ComboStart
    • 表示在此動畫進行到 3.1 秒時，會執行 SCAR_ActionData 的判定檢查。
  • 4.500000 MagFrenzy_UpdateEvent
    • 每 4.5 秒會刷新此動畫。
  • 1.000000 SCAR_ActionData
    {"IdleAnimation":"StartMagCS", "MinDistance":0, "MaxDistance":1000, "StartAngle":-180, "EndAngle":180, "Chance":100, "Type":"IDLE", "WeaponLength":90}
    • 如果符合條件，則執行 StartMagCS 的事件指令，觸發播放 MagInfusion_Intro.hkx 動畫。


在 MagInfusion_Intro.hkx 中：
  • 2.000000 SCAR_ComboStart
    • 表示在此動畫進行到 2.0 秒時，會執行 SCAR_ActionData 的判定檢查。
  • 1.000000 SCAR_ActionData
    {"IdleAnimation":"MagIFType2", "MinDistance":0, "MaxDistance":70, "StartAngle":-90, "EndAngle":90, "Chance":70, "Type":"IDLE", "WeaponLength":90}
    • 如果符合條件，則執行 MagIFType2 的事件指令，觸發播放 MagFrenzy_Type2.hkx 動畫。
  • 0.900000 SCAR_ActionData
    {"IdleAnimation":"MagIFType1", "MinDistance":0, "MaxDistance":1000, "StartAngle":-120, "EndAngle":120, "Chance":100, "Type":"IDLE", "WeaponLength":100}
    • 如果符合條件，則執行 MagIFType1 的事件指令，觸發播放 MagFrenzy_Type1.hkx 動畫。

因此範例流程（來自選項的檔案）：
  • 是否處於魔法行為狀態？
    (戰鬥狀態下是否手持咒語？)
  • 進行 OAR 條件檢查
  • 判定是否應播放有效的 MagSCAR_Dummy.hkx
  • 播放的 MagSCAR_Dummy.hkx 是否帶有 SCAR_ComboStart 註解？
  • 若 SCAR_ActionData 條件吻合：
    • 執行 StartMagCS 事件，播放 MagInfusion_Intro.hkx。
  • 在 MagInfusion_Intro.hkx 中，若任一條件吻合：
    • 播放對應的動畫（如 MagFrenzy_Type1.hkx 或 MagFrenzy_Type2.hkx）。
